Project Title: Strategic reserves for NZ businesses.
Principle Investigator: PhD Candidate Na Luo Co-investigators: Dr Aadhaar Chaturvedi, Prof Tava Olsen

We, Post-doc research fellow Na Luo, Dr. Aadhaar Chaturvedi, and Prof. Tava Olsen of the University of Auckland Business School, are working on this project to identify the strategic reserves for NZ businesses at the national level with priorities and quantities.

You are invited to participate by answering the following survey which takes around 30 minutes. This survey is anonymous. No information is recorded that could identify you. If you discontinue the online survey, all the information you have provided will be recorded up to that point. Because the survey is anonymous, no information can be withdrawn once it is completed and returned. All information will be kept in a secure location on the University premises.

The information collected will be published in a report or included in published journal articles and conference proceedings.
