Scope and Methodology

The scope will include interviews with 50 CFOs in the local region from small and medium businesses randomly selected from manufacturing, service and support industries. A total list of all small and medium businesses in the region will be defined and random number generator used to select the companies who will be contacted.
Initial contact will be through personalized letters to the CFOs stating the intent of the research and its use in academic research. Follow-on telephone calls will be used to contact them and have the questionnaires completed. The initial letter will have the survey included, in addition to providing a link they can use to complete the survey online. Giving these respondents the opportunity to answer the questionnaire in either way will increase response rates.
