Support the academic study of internal company blogging!

I came across this post on Luis Suarez’ blog this morning. Luis received the following request from Mareike Swania from Napier University:

We are currently conducting research into the topic of internal blogging within companies. As part of this study we are inviting company bloggers to complete a short questionnaire in the form of an online survey available at http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=ZnU4C0g9B6oWQjeG5fGJog_3d_3d

The questions deal with some general questions about your blog, about your motivation to blog and the impact of your blog. All data collected will be anonymous, and in the written report of the research it will not be possible to identify the individuals who contributed to the study, nor their affiliations.

Should you be interested in the findings of the research once it is complete, there is a place on the survey to leave your email address to which a report will be sent. If you have any questions about the work, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Thank you for participating

Mareike is being advised by Hazel Hall who has published extensively on knowledge management in institutional environments. Given that enough people participate (and it looks promising, as Mareike told me via email) this should produce quite interesting data.

Hi Cornelius! Thanks very much for the link love and that pingback! Greartly appreciated that you are also contributing towards spreading the message around on the fine piece of work from Mareike, which I agree with you is going to provide some interesting data. I am really looking forward to checking the results as I feel they would be really nice to capture where we are with the adoption of corporate blogging behind the firewall.

So appreciate all the support and promotion you have given this survey thus far. Thanks much!
