| Summary | The purpose of this thesis was to examine computer hardware and software, time, and costs involved in formal computer hardware and software training for manufacturing firms in Pitt County, North Carolina. The null hypothesis was tested: A significant difference will not exist in the computer hardware and software training needs for manufacturing firms operating in Pitt County, North Carolina. A survey research design was used for the study. The survey was mailed to 140 manufacturing firms with a cover letter. Approximately two weeks after the survey was mailed, a follow-up post card was mailed to firms which had not responded. After the third week from the initial mailing, phone calls were made to manufacturing firms that had not responded. Another survey was faxed if the manufacturing firm had not received a survey. Completed surveys were received from 46 firms reflecting a 32.9 percent return rate. The Chi Square Test of Independence was used to test the null hypothesis, and the hypothesis was not accepted. Thus, respondents indicated that there was a need for formal computer hardware and software training in manufacturing firms operating in Pitt County, North Carolina. Based on the findings, a need for formal computer hardware and software training was indicated. |
