My name is Julia and I'm a graduate student in the MBA Program at Cal State Long Beach State. My partner and I are working on a project for an Entrepreneurship class and our assignment is to write a focused-industry report with real data. We've chosen the automotive aftermarket industry, specifically for Porsche's, and we're looking to get some information from Porsche owners like yourself. We've created a short, 12 question survey and would greatly appreciate your participation if you have 5 minutes to give. Thank you in advance and please feel free to email with any questions!*

Scam?

 

You guys are suspicious because we don't usually allow something like this...but the link is harmless....Appears to be legit student, no scam...play or not...your choice

 

Done. It's innocuous.

 

Julia: What question(s) are you and your partner really trying to answer? I would be hard pressed to associate anything meaningful from your questions. Perhaps "income" and "age" could be regressed, but little else. My best advice is: don't be 'cute' when you ask questions; ask only the question(s) that you want answered. Also, remember that you need at least ten cases per variable.
Best wishes on this study.

 

Not applicable to me. I'm stock guy, no mods.

 

Looks like she is compiling a mailing list for future sales? It's geared towards parts buying.
Sorry, but I get enough spam.

 

You may want to revise your HHI options.

 

A quick question: What HHI options? I did not see market share mentioned.

 

Sorry, should have specified, not referring to Herfindahl-Hirschman index, but household income levels.

The household income question seems off by an order of magnitude. I'm trying to imagine a making minimum wage and paying off a 991.

 

Probably my fault for putting it here but they wanted 911 owners..I told her the household income was off even for Boxter/Cayman let alone 991 911's

 

Don't answer the household income question. I went with it.

 

Sorry to any I offended with my questions. I'm a first-year grad student in an MBA program and I'm taking an entrepreneurship class. One of our assignments is to learn how to do an in-depth analysis of an industry. If you look online, there is very little to no information available about the Porsche industry (people who buy and own Porsche's) so I have been left with no choice but to find the answers for myself. The reason I asked the questions I did was because of the requirements of the assignment- identify the demographics of the industry (age, income,etc.) and general reasons about how and why people participate in the industry. I apologize if my questions seemed basic, like I said it's for a class assignment and I need to create a baseline in order to do it correctly. Thanks to all who participated!

 

Done, being in school myself currently I know how assignments can go.
