ENTERPRISE IN EDUCATION: SME SURVEY
APPENDIX TWO: CLASSIFICATION
Figure A.2.1: Q27. Number of employees in organisation
Base: all respondents (n= 498)
The non-participating sample broadly matches the general Scottish business population of SMEs - defined as businesses with less than 250 employees. Within the context of SMEs the participating sample by comparison is heavily weighted towards the larger sized firms, and indeed the latter are perhaps even slightly under represented here, as some of the national companies involved were removed from the initial sample.
Figure A.2.2: Q28. Sector or type of business involved in
Base: all respondents (n= 498)
Differences between the two sets of sub-sample are less in evidence in terms of sector, although the figures suggest that there is a weighting towards the service sector.
Figure A.2.3: Q29. Type of office
Base: all respondents (n= 498)
Figure A.2.4: Q30. Whereabouts organisation is based in Scotland
Base: all respondents (n= 498)
The original non-participating sample was selected to be representative of the SME population, and the participating sample lists provided covered most regions of Scotland.
Figure A.2.5: Q31 Whether respondent has any involvement with local schools on a personal basis
Base: all respondents (n= 498)
There are no significant differences on this measure.
Figure A.2.6: Q32. Position of the respondent in the organisation
Base: all respondents (n= 498)
