Expatriate Interest Survey

Dear expatriate reader,

My name is Casper Vlielander, I am a 23 year old International Commercial Economics student at the Fontys University  of Applied Sciences in Tilburg, the Netherlands. I currently reside in Shanghai to gain corporate experience at Expatree, to complete and pass my semester I am writing a paper about expatriate living in Shanghai. To gain insight in expatriate interest and needs in daily life. This inquiry focuses on expatriates interest, participation and usage of events in Shanghai and general marketplace items.

All responses will be anonymous, no name or physical address is required. I will not share confidential information such as email addresses with third parties. No emails or spam will be send after receiving the filled out inquiries, all received email addresses will be deleted after reception.

The Inquiry consist of 24 Multiple choice questions and 2 open questions. The inquiry should take no more than 10 minutes of your time. One answer per question unless stated otherwise. After several questions an alternate route exists to navigate through the questions. I request the answers to be highlighted for digital versions or to color the dot for scanned versions.

To participate please send an email to the adress listed below.
Completed inquiries can be returned to cvlielander@hotmail.com with “Expatriate inquiry” as a subject. The deadline for returning inquiries is the 3rd of December 2012.

I would like to thank you for your cooperation as you are a indispensable part of my research and project.

With kind regards,
