Dear Volunteer Participant,
I am a doctoral student in the Global Leadership Program at Indiana Tech who is in the process of seeking volunteer participants (leaders and managers) from organizations who operate in both domestic and global context.
Why Should Organizations Participate: As an incentive for participation I am willing to share my results, of which I believe will be of value for development of future leaders within your organization. For example, this could provide Human Resource (HR) professionals insight into what leaders, both domestic and global see as most critical to the success of their organizations. This may also provide insight into how others, outside of your organization view this same subject.
Data Collection: My research utilizes an electronic survey instrument to collect data from two different groups of leaders and managers, who work in the context of the same organization. One of the participants would be a leader or manager, whose responsibilities are domestic and the other whose responsibilities are global. I plan to administer this survey across several organizations, representing a variety of industries.
Purpose of My Research Study: The goal is to gain a scholarly, yet practical understanding of the differences and similarities, between domestic and global, as well as across industries.
Volunteer Participant Criteria: I am searching for organizations that have operations in at least two different countries, which would be willing to offer the services of two of their leaders or managers, one of whom has domestic responsibilities and the other who has global responsibilities.
What You Need To Do? If your organization is willing participate, simply click on the link below, which takes you directly to the survey instrument. Participants in the pilot study reported taking approximately 12 minutes to complete. If you know others that would be of interest or who could benefit from the results of this study feel free to forward this invitation or let me know and I will follow up with them.
Your assistance in completing my doctoral journey is greatly appreciated. If you have any questions or suggestions feel free to contact me, otherwise thank you in advance for your assistance.
Sincerely,
Douglas Hiatt
