-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] Request for Participation in Research on Data Sharing in Business Enterprises Datum: Wed, 11 May 2016 14:19:38 -0500 Von: Richard Howey dj4392zd@metrostate.edu An: aisworld@lists.aisnet.org

Many businesses need to share data created or maintained in one internal organizational unit such as a business unit or division with other internal organizational units. Many technical techniques have been developed to facilitate that sharing such as data warehouses and master data management. Yet the overall track record of initiatives for implementing and using these techniques is not good. For example, it has been estimated that master data management initiatives fail more than 75% of the time.

As my dissertation for a doctorate in business administration, I am conducting a research project to examine certain aspects of corporate culture and policies that may contribute to the success or failure of these initiatives. I am currently in the process of collecting data for that research using a web-based survey. If you have been part of or have observed attempts to share data between internal organizational units of a business enterprise, I would like to invite you to take the survey by clicking on the following link:

https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/RHoweyDataSharing

The survey is short and should take no more than 10-15 minutes. My hope is that analysis of the survey results will uncover patterns in the success and/or failure of data sharing initiatives that we can use to develop strategies to make data sharing more consistently successful in the future.

Finally, if you know other people who you think could contribute to this research, please feel free to forward the survey link to them.

Thank you, Richard Howey

PS If you would like a copy of the final dissertation document that will describe the results of this research, please email me with a request at dj4392zd@metrostate.edu mailto:dj4392zd@metrostate.edu. I hope to be able to complete the dissertation in late 2016 or early 2017.
