The first served to identify background information of the participants (industry, academic or practitioner, etc.). The second part asked participants to rate and rank CSFs for KM in five different categories The third and final part of the survey asked participants to assess how effective the framework developed in this research study was in identifying, characterizing, presenting, and describing the CSFs for KM by rating each of these areas on a 5-point Likert scale.
Study seeks to examine relationships between variables, so correlational design was used Specifically, sought to determine relationship of variables (org size, industry background, etc.) to the CSFs deemed as most crucial by participants to see if they affected the participants’ perceptions of CSFs
