Martin,
A while back we discussed my interest in identifying individuals from
various organizations to participate in a Ph.D. research project. Shown
below is more information on this project (I also attached an electronic
copy). I would really appreciate your assistance in securing connections
with Global/Multinational organizations, which in your case would be
someone like yourself in the United States, and then others with similar
positions outside of the U.S.

Dear Volunteer Participant,

I am a doctoral student in the Global Leadership Program at Indiana Tech
who is in the process of seeking volunteer participants (leaders and
managers) from organizations who operate in both domestic and global
context.



*Why Participate:* As an incentive for participation I am willing to share
the results of this study, including insights into the findings for your
organization and the larger study. The results of this contemporary study
should reflect current thinking on the subject of effective leadership,
which have been influenced by recent events such as increased threat of
terrorism and weak global economy. At a minimum the results of this study
would be of value for development of future leaders within your
organization. For example, this could provide your Human Resource (HR)
professionals insight into what leaders, both domestic and global see as
most critical to the success of their organizations. This may also provide
insight into how others, outside of your organization view this same
subject.



*Data Collection:* This research utilizes an electronic survey instrument
to collect data from two different groups of leaders and managers, who work
in the context of the same organization. One of the participants would be a
leader or manager, whose responsibilities are domestic and the other whose
responsibilities are global. The current plan is to administer this survey
across several organizations, representing a variety of industries.



*Research Study Purpose:* The goal is to gain a scholarly, yet practical
understanding of differences and similarities, between domestic and global,
as well as across industries.



*Volunteer Participant Criteria:* I am searching for organizations that
have operations in at least two different countries, which would be willing
to offer the services of two of their leaders or managers, one of whom has
domestic responsibilities and the other who has global responsibilities.



*What’s Being Requested:* If your organization is willing to participate,
please provide a point of contact, someone that could coordinate
administration of this survey. Ideally, this contact would be someone who
would not only assist, but would encourage participation. To take the
survey, participants simply need to click on the link below, which takes
you directly to the survey instrument. Participants in the pilot study
reported taking approximately 12 minutes to complete.

Your assistance in completing my doctoral journey is greatly appreciated.
If you have any questions or suggestions feel free to contact me, otherwise
thank you in advance for your assistance.

and bottom three qualities)*
