The target sampling technique was used to select individuals within ICI in order to cover all the major businesses and functions across the organization. For responses other than ICI, the snowball sampling technique was used in the survey whereby the respondents in the survey were requested to float the survey link to other participants and users which were most relevant for such questioniaire.
