    Dear Sir or Madam:

    We are graduate students of the Psychology Institute, Chinese Academy
    of Sciences( CAS ). On last Sunday we were required to establish a
    questionnaire to measure people's preparation for organization change of
    CAS . The CAS , maybe the biggest research organization in the world
    containing about 120 institutes and 800,000 employees ,will soon go
    through significant organization change with the aim of producing better
    efficiency. This change includes downsizing one third of the employees ,
    the orientation transformation of the most institute from research to
    high-tech-industries and emerge of some institutes, etc. As the first
    step, the survey and assessment of the people's attitude about the change
    is critical to form the suitable strategy of the following organization
    innovation . The top leaders of the CAS asked our major professor Kan Shi
    to conduct the first step. The total sample is 5000-8000. Now the problem
    is that we have little experience about this . Though we have collected
    some articles and books about organization reegineering and organization
    development, these materials are not enough. So we sincerely wish you
    could give us some information about the following questions:
    First, the most programs on organization reengineering we know mainly
    concern on business organization issues, but the CAS is a nonprofit
    research organization. We are not very sure about which factors are most
    important in our survey.
    Second , could you offer other suggestions about our survey and our
    questionnaires? And if you have some inventories and questionnaires about
    the organization reengineering at hand , Would you please mail us at your
    convenience?
    Third, to carry out the program we need much more information and
    support. Could you please recommend us some important works and experts in
    this area.
    We must complete the work in no more than 15 days, so would you please
    contact with us as soon as possible?
    We are looking forward to hearing from you .

    Sincerely

    Zhao-li Song
