Dear list members,
I am writing to request your assistance with a study being conducted
on behalf of Amicus Interactive, in partnership with the Oregon
Graduate Institute. We are studying the relationship between market
forces in the global information age and the provision of graduate
level degree programs. Specifically, we are exploring how technology
and industry demand is driving the specialization of traditional MBA,
Engineering and Technology Management degree offerings.
Our research efforts are being conducted by survey and interview, and
are focused in the following areas:
Professional Organizations (Academic and IS/IT)
Curriculum/Instructional Development
Graduate Student Organizations
Human Resources
Executive Recruiters
Institutional Research/Forecasting
Educational Policy
Academic Advisors
University Administrators
We ask you to take a moment to respond to the following survey.
Please direct your replies to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Please DO NOT send
your reply to this discussion forum.
In exchange for your participation, we will be pleased to provide you
with a detailed summary of our findings.
If you have any questions, feel free to contact me at this email
address, or by phone at (503) 643-8392. Many thanks for your
assistance.
Kind regards,
Susan Eshelman
Amicus Interactive, Inc.
