AoIR colleagues, I am participating with an international group of scholars who are exploring issues related to IT purchasing. If you have ANY role in purchasing IT products for your organization would you please complete the survey for us? Also, if you know of others in your organization (or other organizations) who purchases IT products/services PLEASE forward this survey request to them. Thank you in advance for your help. ***** Please take 20-30 minutes of your valuable time to participate in our questionnaire survey. Your participation will help researchers better understand the adoption and diffusion of information technologies and the processes and relationships in IT purchasing. You will benefit from shared information on the findings if you fill in your contact information at the end of the study. Business leaders in general will benefit from your insights through published reports and articles. The study is not funded by any commercial interests nor will the findings be sold for any commercial gain. All data will be analyzed at the aggregate level. Neither you nor your organization will be identified at any stage of the study. To participate, please go to: http://www.cci.utk.edu/fitpro and type FITPRO to enter.
