3.2.2.3 Data Collection Sources
Our target audience was major global organizations. We resorted to a
snowball sampling of relevant professionals
[34,
35]. ”Snowballing” refers to a simple,
inexpensive method of expanding one’s influence over a targeted group
[32]. We contacted professionals via
email and social media platforms like Facebook, LinkedIn, and Research
Gate. The empirical data was collected online from April 2022 to July
2022. Acquiring all of the data took one month and four days to complete
64 replies were obtained throughout the survey’s deployment. The
responses were manually reviewed, and 14 were disregarded because the
information provided by their authors was unrelated to GSD and SSD.
Final survey responses (n=50) were included in the study.
