The study takes only about 224 seconds to complete and will help my research immensely!
The working title of my thesis is "technological mediated interaction (communication) -thank you Jim for the clarification! and the organizational change agent". The goal is to explain how mobile devices can help maximize real time information exchanges on the manufacturing shop floor.
Here is a first paragraph of abstract: "Studies exist explaining how mobile phones have changed how we communicate as families. This study asks how does wireless Media Messenger Services change organizational communication and knowledge transference. The purpose of this thesis is to identify opportunities for organizational knowledge capture through technological mediated interaction. It will also examine how organizational change agents can leverage the organizational changes as result of emerging communication media."
Currently at our plant in Germany (and being adopted through a Kaizen event here in our Hillsboro NH plant) OSRAM uses pagers to notify when a process needs attention. I am trying to push that envelope in my thesis...
Honestly I am a wreck... between all the flooding here in NH, my ASQ CQE exam in less than 1 week (eeek)
Update: THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR EVERYONE'S SUPPORT... as I have been working on my thesis, I have had the opportunity to interact on several discussion boards ranging from quality to project management to information technology. This board's community has been phenomenal regarding input and feedback about this topic! This helps me stay more in tune to the REAL world and not too entrenched in theory. thank you!
I have just completed mine. There is also another web based survey software the ASQ uses : http://www.surveymonkey.com/
For some of your questions almost all check boxes are applicable. Anyway best wishes for your PhD.

Govind.
