Methodology
The 2015 Hartman Executive Technology Survey© was conducted by The Research Group, a third-party market research organization, between April 27 and July 31, 2015. Respondents were senior management executives at organizations with annual revenues between $20 and $250 million in the following industries: retail, manufacturing, distribution, nonprofits/associations, professional services, healthcare, education, construction, real estate and banking. The national survey yielded responses from 52 senior management executives who lead middle market organizations. The Research Group cites a 90 percent confidence level of accuracy had we interviewed all executives in this segment (+/- 10 percent margin of error).
