<br>
<br>
Dear Madam/Sir,</font><font size=3 face="Calibri"> </font><font size=2 face="Times New Roman"><br>
<br>
We need your help to understand the critical success factors of location
based services. The study will take less than 10 minutes (including
watching two interesting videos).</font><font size=3 face="Calibri"> </font><font size=2 face="Times New Roman"><br>
<br>
My name is Natalie Chin, a master’s degree candidate at the Department
of Management, University of Nebraska-Lincoln. In my thesis research,we
aim to understand the factors that contribute to the success of location
based services. Location based services is defined as “is an information
or entertainment service, which is accessible with </font><a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_device><font size=2 color=blue face="Times New Roman"><u>mobile
devices</u></font></a><font size=2 face="Times New Roman"> through the </font><a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_network><font size=2 color=blue face="Times New Roman"><u>mobile
network</u></font></a><font size=2 face="Times New Roman"> and which uses
information on the geographical position of the mobile device.” <br>
<br>
We would like to invite you to participate in an online, asynchronous brainstorming
session to identify the critical success factors of location based services.
Participation is voluntary and all data collected will be kept in
a secured location at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. The results of
the study may be published or presented at professional conferences and
journals, but the results will only be presented in aggregated forms. No
individual will be identifiable from the results. <br>
<br>
