We posted our second-annual reader survey on the Web from June 4 to July 7, 2003. We provided links to the poll on nwc.com and in the June 13 issue of Network Computing. We also sent a personalized e-mail message with an embedded link to the poll to approximately 44,899 Network Computing subscribers. We received 2,313 valid responses from IT staffers, managers and midlevel executives, and corporate execs. About three-quarters of respondents were IT personnel and the rest were business management.
We weighted the responses to accurately represent the profile of Network Computing's circulation base in terms of size of company. More than a third of respondents gave Network Computing editors permission to follow up and interview them further. We grilled readers with backgrounds in education, manufacturing, retail, financial services, consumer goods and high-tech about how IT decisions are made in their organizations and how business managers and IT staffers interact.
The survey was tabulated by CIC Research. The margin of error is +/-2.0 percent at a 95 percent confidence level.
