Have you set up a home based online business and are willing to share your experiences with Professor Elizabeth Daniel and Dr MariaLaura Di Domenico of the Open University Business School? They would like to hear from individuals who run their own online businesses that are, or were originally, based in the home.
The study adopts a fairly broad definition of on-line businesses. Examples are web developers, selling on-line or on-line communities.
The importance of home-based businesses to the economy is often overlooked and the research is being undertaken to address this.
Anyone who could help should contact Professor Daniel at E.M.Daniel@open.ac.uk by 31st July.
Update 12th July: Due to the overwhelming interest in this research, we are no longer looking for participants. However we intend to do further research in this area in the future and therefore further opportunities to take part will be available. Future calls for participants will be on our website, Facebook and LinkedIn pages and will be tweeted.
