Ok, this is yet another one of those AHHH HELP! MY ASSIGNMENT IS DUE IN TOMORROW AND I NEED QUESTIONNAIRE RESULTS… questionnaires.
So, here’s the thing. I’m studying music. At the moment we’re looking at the music industry. We’ve been asked to speak to someone we know who owns a business, and ask some questions to aid our research. First off, I don’t know anyone who owns a business. Second off, I did ask one person these questions, but haven’t yet got the reply, and, YES, the assignment is due in tomorrow morning. The assignment itself is done, I just need to provide evidence of research etc.
Even if I get one set of results here, I would be SO grateful. So… please please please… if you own a business… or even care to make up some answers for me… I would muchly appreciate it.
It doesn’t matter what kind of business you own, whether you’re a self employed plumber, or are a multi-millionaire owner of an international media company… (Richard Branson… Bill Gates, if you’re reading this… please help?).
If any of these questions are delving too much into your privacy, feel free to leave them out. Personal details are not required. This is just to help provide me with research evidence.
Thanking you kindly in advance –
Ali
