Knowledge Management Questionnaire Help!!! Urgent - DOC Download

Hi all,

I have designed a questionnaire for auditing and understanding knowledge management practices in a company. Since this is the first time I am doing this, I would greatly appreciate all the help I can get regarding its analysis. Any help and suggestions would be very useful.

Thanks and regards,
Raghavendra.

Dear Raghavendra,

What are you doing this survey for? Are you piloting the questionnaire and need feedback on its design, or are you looking for ideas on how to analyze? If it is the former, it's a good step. However, if it's the latter, don't you think you should have considered how to analyze the data at the time of designing and piloting, rather than after collecting the data.

Please see my post on Research Methodology at [citehr.com](http://citehr.com) (Search On Cite | Search On Google) [https://www.citehr.com/showthread.php?t=106849](https://www.citehr.com/showthread.php?t=106849).

Assuming that you need feedback on your questionnaire, here are my comments.

Asking for personal info at the end is good; it won't put off the respondents.

In addition to the quotation from Peter Senge, you should also state the purpose of the survey and why it is important for the recipients of the questionnaire to answer it as truthfully as they can.

Also, the 4-point Likert scale questions could have been set out in a tabular form describing all the anchor points. By the time I came to the questions, I had forgotten what the instructions were. Without going back to the instructions, I might have marked them on a 5-point Likert scale, where 1 = Strongly Disagree and 5 = Strongly Disagree.

Please do not be offended.

Thank you for your reply.

I am conducting this analysis for my project in knowledge management as part of my undergraduate report. As you pointed out, I had not given much thought to the questionnaire due to my lack of experience in questioning and answer retrieval. I have reviewed both of the links you sent me and I am very grateful for your help and support. If you have any additional materials you can provide, it would be greatly appreciated. Please know that being offended is not even a consideration :)

Thank you,
Regards,
Raghavendra.

Please visit www.emeraldinsight.com. A friend from the University of Bolton, UK, has published a paper based on his PhD thesis on KM. His name is Kondal Reddy Kandadi.

I trust your ability to navigate the web. May I ask where you are from and where you are currently studying?

Hi,

Sorry for the late reply. I am studying at Loughborough University, pursuing my undergraduate degree in Information Management and Business Studies. However, I reside in India, in Orissa. I frequently search for articles and materials from Emerald. Thank you for informing me about your friend; I will look into it.

Thank you so much, Raghavendra.

Hi again,

Sorry, I forgot to mention a point. Could you help me out by suggesting material regarding awareness of KM practices in an organization and also the importance of top management support? I have searched Web of Science, Zetoc, and Emerald, but I am getting very specific search results. I am looking for something more general.

If you don't mind me asking, sir, where are you based? I am very glad to meet scholarly individuals from India. My focus is on knowledge sharing and knowledge management practices in Ferro Alloys Corp., which is based in Orissa as well. It is a family-owned business that has been operating for numerous years, and I was wondering if you are in touch with knowledge consultants who can come to analyze and consult for the introduction of knowledge practices. Hoping to hear from you soon.

Thank you,
Raghavendra.

P.S. The thesis is of great help. It answers major questions for my project. Thanks again :).

Hi,

The questionnaire was a great help for me. As working in groups of five, each individual is required to ask new questions. This questionnaire showed me a new dimension.

Hello, I was just going through your posts. I am currently conducting KM research for my dissertation at Kingston University, London. I would like to see the final draft of your questionnaire and also how you analyzed it. Your help is greatly appreciated.
