Network Research Australia (NRA) came together
as a result of the need for the development
of increasingly in-depth IT-based technologies.
Utilising traditional research methods combined
with these advanced technologies has allowed
NRA to set the pace in Australia's fast-paced
research environment.
Adopting
a Network-Centric approach to organisations,
NRA is able to make extensive recommendations
on measures allowing for an increased acceptance
of a proactive business approach. NRA places
its focus across all three of the recognised
domains of Network-Centric Operations (NCO)
Based
in Central Queesland, Australia, team members
include those working on higher-learning studies
who undertake research with NRA as a part of
their PHD studies. Steven Cochrane is one of
these staff members. His work with the University
of Central Queensland and the Centre for Integrated
Engineering Asset Management (CIEAM) has enabled
him to gain a much wider perspective when analyzing
organizations and government alike.
The
purpose of this site is to enable a PHP scripted
environment that is easily accessible for the
distribution of surveys and questionnaires to
industry. Gone are the days where paper-based
analysis sufficed. In fact, paper is rarely
seen in many fields of research in today's technologically
advanced environment. The raw power of the programming
methods incorporated into these packages allows
for near instant tabulation of data, exportation
to statistical packages and assembly of field
data.
A
range of options are availabe for the distribution
of surveys including a fully-automated mailing
package that can take care of everything from
start to finish including invite messages, security
tokens, monitoring and reminders. This process
is not only simple to undertake, it is also
far quicker and more effective than traditional
paper-based alternatives which is another reason
why NRA stays on top where technological advances
in the realm of research and consulting are
concerned. Throughout the coming year, NRA will
be conducting extensive research studies which
will require input from a range of participants.
To see if you are eligible or required to participate
in these studies, please check our 'Surveys'
page for the latest updates on research being
undertaken.
