Management: The present research is part of doctoral-level studies in Management as supervised by Dr. Emma C. Soane, London School of Economics, and is conducted with the support of SAP AG. The principal investigator (PI) is Sarah M. G. Otner, who can be reached at sarah.otner@sap.com.
Purpose: The study is part of ongoing research in Organizational Behavior. The responses collected here will influence the analyses of otherwise-collected data. The results of the present and future investigations may be published in appropriate academic (e.g., peer-reviewed journals), professional (e.g., SCN), and public (e.g., university news service) channels.
Topic: The present research examines reputation, status, and influence, and attempts to answer: (1) Why, how, and on whom is status conferred in the SCN?; and (2) on which status characteristics to members rely when awarding status in the SCN?
Collection and Use of Information: Participants consent to the administration of surveys necessary for the collection of primary data, and to the retrieval of relevant archival and/or secondary data. Information collected during this investigation will be analyzed and reported anonymously and in aggregate.
Risks: There are no anticipated risks associated with participation in this study.
Rights: Participants maintain the right of refusal, i.e., a participant may quit the research study at any point without consequence. Participants are entitled to a copy of the research results, upon request made of the PI.
Compensation: No inducement to participation is offered for the present study. The results will be provided to the host organization (SAP AG), and specifically to the SCN Collaboration Team, for its internal development and the improvement of its services.
