This award is funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-5).At this time, the U.S. has no data resources that permit satisfactory measurement and analysis of three key processes in our economy -- globalization, technological change, and innovation. Better measurement of the effects of these forces could enable better decision making in many areas pertinent to competitiveness and economic well being. This project makes an important contribution by collecting and analyzing new data on global engagement, use of technology, and innovation-related activity by United States organizations. The project involves conduct of a National Organization Survey (NOS), which will link to items in the well-regarded General Social Survey (GSS), and which will be made available for broad dissemination to the research community. The data will be of use to policy analysts as well as scholars in organization sciences, economics, and geography, among other fields, enabling them to address many important topics pertaining to both scientific and policy debates.The survey uses a dual frame approach. The first frame consists of a nationally representative sample of public sector and other not-for-profit organizations as well as for-profit firms derived from and linked to a nationally representative survey of workers, the General Social Survey (GSS). The second frame consists of a representative sample of large for-profit firms, which are those that are most likely to be globally engaged innovators. The dual frame survey will allow the team to study how an organization?s domestic jobs relate to its actions regarding innovation, use of technology, outsourcing, and off-shoring. This is the first National Organizational Survey to collect significant data on activities by business functions. It is also the first time that data on business function outsourcing and off-shoring has been collected from a representative sample of United States organizations. With this data, analysis can go beyond recent globalization studies that estimate the number of American jobs that are potentially off-shorable, and begin to systematically examine what firms and other organizations are actually doing in regard to both outsourcing and off-shoring.

该奖项是根据2009年美国复苏和再投资法案（公法111-5）资助的。目前，美国没有数据资源，可以对我们经济中的三个关键过程进行满意的测量和分析-全球化，技术变革和创新。 更好地衡量这些力量的影响，可以在与竞争力和经济福祉有关的许多领域做出更好的决策。该项目通过收集和分析关于美国各组织的全球参与、技术使用和创新相关活动的新数据，作出了重要贡献。该项目涉及进行一次全国组织调查，该调查将与广受好评的一般社会调查中的项目相联系，并将向研究界广泛传播。这些数据将对政策分析师以及组织科学、经济学和地理学等领域的学者有用，使他们能够解决与科学和政策辩论有关的许多重要主题。调查采用双重框架方法。第一个框架包括公共部门和其他非营利组织以及营利性公司的全国代表性样本，这些样本来自全国代表性的工人调查，即一般社会调查。第二个框架由大型营利性公司的代表性样本组成，这些公司最有可能成为全球创新者。双框架调查将使团队能够研究一个组织如何？美国的国内就业与其在创新、技术使用、外包和离岸外包方面的行动有关。这是第一次全国组织调查，收集按业务职能分列的重要活动数据。这也是第一次从具有代表性的美国组织样本中收集关于业务职能外包和离岸外包的数据。有了这些数据，分析可以超越最近的全球化研究，估计美国的工作数量可能是离岸，并开始系统地检查公司和其他组织实际上在做什么方面的外包和离岸。
