Leveraging technology for research.

One of the most exciting promises of technology lies in the potential to support research on complex questions through the capture, maintenance and analysis of large data sets. This is especially true in cases where research involves multiple contextual variables such as organizational research. The possibilities for increasing our scope and reaching to global proportions when designing research projects is within reach. This paper reports the results of research conducted within the United States and yields useful lessons for application in other settings and countries.
