Professor Wang is performing two research projects and seeking your participation. Both studies have been reviewed and approved by the Institutional Review Board of Clark University for data collection. Your responses will be kept in strict confidence, as we are only interested in aggregate results. We know that your time is valuable and appreciate your willingness to spend the time to participate in this study.

The first one is a cost allocation project with Bentley Professor, Mohammad Abdolmohammadi. We believe that your responses will help us better understand issues related to managers’ decisions in allocation of cost to production segments. Thus we have designed a short case study scenario and research questions that will require approximately 15 minutes of your time to process and answer.
