The Question Book Goes Interactive

Robert W. & Sandra S. Bauer

Ever tried to develop a survey “from scratch”? You know that the process is time consuming and often difficult. Thinking up or trying to find the “right” questions, getting them into the proper sequence, laying out the questionnaire, a cover page and instructions, getting the final questionnaire in a form that can be printed, involves significant time and cost. And, you may not have the resources to rely on outside vendors for your survey-design task.

The QBGI is a unique resource that can save you countless hours and money. It includes both a Workbook and CD-ROM Software containing:

More than 2,500 survey questions, organized into more than 50 topical categories, for use in your survey design efforts, such as:
• Organization climate/culture
• Employee opinions
• 360° feedback
• Quality practices
• Employee benefits
• Training needs
• Generating open-ended responses
• Health care
• Professional service firms
• Customers
• Trends over time—getting better/worse
• Suppliers
• Survey participant demographics
• Leadership practices

Twenty-two topical, short questionnaires that address a variety of survey information needs—these can be used “as is” or easily modified to meet your precise needs including:
• 360° Feedback
• Leadership Practices
• Communications
• Mission, Goals, and Objectives
• Decision-Making Practices
• Organization Climate
• Employee Involvement
• Performance Appraisal
• Empowerment
• Quality Practices
• Innovation and Creativity
• Team Effectiveness

Additional survey design support materials, including:
• Survey design guidelines
• Sample survey announcement letters
• Sample survey cover and instruction pages
• Survey questionnaire templates
• QBGI software user’s guide

All of the above are included in the QBGI software* (CD-ROM). The software allows you to quickly transfer the questions you select from the Master Question Lists to a Survey Question List. Once you have selected the questions you want, you can:

Edit, modify, and rearrange your Survey Question List, until you have the survey questions that meet your specific information needs in the order that you want them.

Transfer your survey question list automatically into a survey questionnaire template of your choice. A survey cover page and survey instructions can also be added…the end result: a survey questionnaire that is ready to be printed.
