Every firm values different success factors the only way to know the specific factors a particular company esteems is to speak with someone who works for this company.

The best interviewing strategy is to talk about the academic and work experiences that pertain to these generic success factors. As you tell the stories, the company success factors will stand out, showing the interviewer that you are a viable candidate for the job.

The following techniques can be used to collect data about human performance in CPI tasks and provide input to task analysis methods described in Section 4.3. These data can include process information critical for the task, control strategies used by the workers, diagnostic plans etc. A distinction can be made among data collection methods that provide qualitative data (such as interviews, observations, and sources of documentation) and methods that can be used to measure aspects of performance (such as activity analysis, simulations, and information withholding).

The dissemination of well-designed educational material constitutes a complement to other strategies, especially as a basis for training measures (face-to-face interviews or feedback systems), its relatively low added cost being a factor to take into consideration.

Like everyone, the people profiled in this volume are evolving. The narratives reflect their thoughts and experiences at the time of the interviews. Since then many have changed course in response to new research or personal growth, due to deteriorating or improved health, or all of the above.

All interviews and articles were reviewed for each firm. Following this, studies were eliminated from further analysis if they did not contain content reflecting the Project Evergreen guidelines (strategy, environment, people), over-sampled particular time-frames (generally selected studies were balanced across both the years and periods of the study, adjusted slightly for publication lag), or lacked source credibility (for example. Fortune, the Wall Street Journal, and Business Week were preferred over obscure journals and publications). 

In the face of the difficulties in finding children and young people who would talk about these aspects of their lives, the research strategy to sample purposively, across the birth order and equally between genders etc, had to adapt to the reality that the sample would be opportunistic. In the event, the most likely child to be interviewed was the eldest, and more females than males agreed to be interviewed (20 16). It was most likely that they would be older in years too.

This produced a list of strategic options different business models and value chain positions that would match the most attractive areas. These options were then assessed by a set of criteria that included economic value, feasibility, risk, investments, and fit with the overall strategy and portfolio of initiatives. To test the economic viability of individual products, specific business ideas related to single products/markets were written and pressure-tested. The final decision was made after extensive discussions and more than 80 interviews with experts.
