The study

Conducted by Hanadi Hijazi, DBA candidate, Faculty of Business Administration, Beirut Arab University, in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Doctorate of Business Administration.

This study examines how the capabilities of the people who lead digital technology within an organization relate to the extent to which technology becomes embedded in its operations, and how this in turn relates to business performance. It is conducted among private organizations operating in Lebanon.

What participation involves

The study is completed in two short parts, by two different people in your organization.

Part one is answered by a leader who has responsibility for digital technology in his or her area of the business, and takes approximately fifteen minutes.

Part two is answered by a senior business, financial, ownership or general-management colleague, consists of five questions about the organization’s performance relative to its competitors, and takes approximately five minutes.

The two parts are answered independently. Neither respondent sees the other’s answers.

Confidentiality

No names, job titles or contact details are collected from either respondent, other than an email address you may choose to supply at the end for the sole purpose of receiving the two links, which is used once and not stored.
