Hi fellow gamers! First of all, I would like to briefly introduce myself. I am a Master student at the VU University in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. I am studying Business Administration, part of the Faculty of Economics and Business Administration. Currently, I am working on my graduation paper about 'knowledge and idea sharing within online communities'. The study is aimed at assessing your motivations in relation to innovative knowledge and idea sharing activities as well as the effectiveness of these activities in online communities (forums) within the Video Game Industry. For data collection I have set up an online survey, and I would like to kindly ask you to fill it out and maybe even share it with your fellow gamer friends. Every single gamer filling it out helps. It is critical for the completion of my study, to have enough respondents with valuable feedback. It is intended for gamers from all platforms (PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo, PC, handhelds, mobile gaming etc). The survey is located at http://www.thesistools.com/web/?id=355778 It will take you approximately 5 minutes to answer all the questions. Since these questions are about your opinion, experience and feelings, there are no right or wrong answers. Therefore, please try to be as honest as possible when answering these questions. Your answers are entirely confidential and will only be used for academic purpose. Finally, please not that this is about VIDEO games, not board games or card games or anything similar. If you have any questions please contact the e-mail address provided in the online survey, send me a private message, or reply here. I would like to thank you in advance for your time, attention, and help. It will be greatly appreciated!
