Hi,

one and a half month ago I started an online survey "Wikis in Unternehmen" (Wikis in Enterprises) in German language. Until today more than 200 people took the German survey but I was often asked to translate it to English to open it up to an international audience.

I needed some time (my english is awfull...), but it is done now: the English online survey "Wikis in Enterprises" can be found here: http://wikipedistik.de/survey/

This survey is part of the study "Wikis in Enterprises" by the Department of Personnel Economics and Human Resource Management of the University of Cologne. I'm writing my diploma thesis about this subject.

The survey adresses enterprises of any size and also enterprises not using a wiki. It is held short on purpose and answering it will take only 5-10 minutes at most.

Aim of the survey "Wikis in Enterprises" is the examination of the factors which work in favor or disfavor for the use of wikis in enterprises. These factors can for example be the affiliation to a business sector, the size of an enterprise, the listing or the outsourcing of IT activities. Dependencies between these factors may also lead to interesting conclusions.

Why should you participate?

* The survey is answered in only a few minutes. * Only with a large group of participants a big data pool can be generated which allows valid results and cognitions and recommendations. * The participans get noticed about the results. * You support "Wikimetrics"...

Thank you!

Feel free to blog it :-) The German survey was named in two printed magazines, but most participants came through the blogosphere.

Bye, Tim 'avatar' Bartel.
