We sent the survey to senior managers working in 978 firms in the selected industries. To enhance responses, we contacted two people in each organization whenever possible. Hence, we contacted a total of 1262 individuals. We addressed the survey respondents with a personalized cover letter which promised to provide a complimentary summary of the results to the respondents. We sent two rounds follow-up reminders every two weeks and followed up by phone calls which helped to enhance responses. We compared the earlier and later responses on each variable and did not find significant differences. We have also compared responding and non-responding firms on firm size, age and sales using the t-tests and found that all t-statistics were insignificant.
