We examine methods used to survey firms on their management and organizational practices. We contrast the strengths and weaknesses of "open-ended questions" (e.g., World Management Survey) with "closed questions" (e.g., Management and Organizational Practices Surveys). For this type of data, open-ended questions give higher quality responses but are more costly than closed question–based surveys.Terms of Use
