A 90 second questionnaire on open source companies and their success factors
Answers marked with a * are required.
Dear Participant,
I'm a postgraduate student of University of Moratuwa, Sri Lanka, engaged in a research study for the partial fulfillment of MBA in IT program conducted by the university.
The survey is carried out in order to gather information for a study on open source companies and their success factors. I have sent a questionnaire previously with many questions on open source companies but I did not get enough responses maybe because the questionnaire was too long. Because of this reason, I have reduced the questionnaire to only five questions since I have to gather the information as soon as possible.
I would greatly appreciate if you could spend 90 seconds on the questionnaire. Your company name will be anonymous in the dissertation and only the numbers will be used. The information provided will only be used for academic purposes.
Thank you very much for your time and cooperation.
