are of no difficulty for the
participants to answer since it does not require in-depth thinking and
does not require personal
opinions to be given toward a study.
3. Based on a review of the literature Syafiq has developed a table
(Table 1) that should
help him to operationalize the variables of his conceptual model. Use
this table to

literature and how have these dimensions further been broken into
elements by
researchers who have investigated this issue in the past?

researchers in the past and are well defined. The definition of each
and every variable under
information quality is clear and should be easy for Syafiq‘s
participants to understand. The
survey questions in each variable are precise and clear, which should
be beneficial for Syafiq‘s
participants in the study.
4. Syafiq could decide to use the survey questions he has found in the
literature as a basis
for his questionnaire. Is it, in general, a good or a bad idea to use
existing scales? Why? CASE STUDY, DATA COLLECTION
,INTERVIEWS AND 3 Existing scales can be convenient, but also
Personally, I believe that it is a bad idea for Syafiq to use this existing

questionnaire. There is an existing possibility that other researchers
have also used this set of
survey questions in their questionnaires and it would be redundant
and the questions are less
specific to what Syafiq wanted to gather information on. Although the
survey questions are
