Organizations are increasingly turning to surveys to solve many business-related problems. This book provides those who want to plan organizational surveys with a step-by-step, `how-to' guide. The authors describe the issues that must be addressed at each step in the process, the advantages and disadvantages that result from many of the choices that must be made, and practical lessons learned from their years of experience in designing and conducting surveys.

Presentation of Survey Findings
"Unlike many survey ‘how-to’ books, this book is clear, well-written, practical, and insightful. I highly recommend it to those interested in conducting organizational surveys or managing a consultant/ vendor that is supplying survey services to an organization."
TECHNO
This is one of the only practical guides available that is focused on organizational surveys instead of surveys in general.
