I’m a student at the University of Aarhus in Denmark and I’ve decided to write my BA-paper in Organization about the various ways guilds in WoW are organized, structured and what this means for their overall success.
In order to do this, I need some empirically gathered material from various players about their guild structure, their raiding status and the way they use tactics on boss encounters.
The questionnaire is anonymous and shouldn’t take more than 5-10 minutes to fill in. I hope that as many as possible will want to spend a bit of time answering the questions since my empirical studies will be better, the more replies I get
The questionnaire can be filled in either in this thread or in a PM to me on this forum. If you have any questions, feel free to PM me. It can also be sent to me by mail:
baproject@post.au.dk
Any information given in this questionnaire won't be given to any third party
Thank you very much in advance for your help.
