Collecting and Analyzing the Data from Your survey In this handout you will see an example of a chart with the responses from 8 participants. Note that I have color coded the questions to make it easier for you to identify which area of commun ication these questions address (there are 5 areas that the survey addresses) : 1-7 Receiving Information from Others 8-14 Sending Information to Others 15 -23 Sources of Information 24 -29 Timeliness 30 -37 Channels of Information If you look at the average score for each item, you will be able to tell where the organization scored low. For example, note that in the second section (Sending Information to Others) several items were scored very low, including # 9, # 11 and # 13. Thus, I can say that this organ ization seems to have some gaps in the first area – Sending Information to Others . My second step would be to go to the literature and see what can we do about this? What are some suggestions to specifically improve these areas? I would give recommendatio ns USING SCHOLARLY SOURCES. What are two other areas that scored low? Remember that for this assignment you need to identify ONE area of concern , as shown by the data, and then give recommendations. Remember to add your table similar to this one in the a ppendix so that the reader can see the scores and confirm that you have really identified the areas that scored low.
