Organizational use of the Internet. Researchers from the United Kingdom and Germany attempted to develop a theoretically grounded measure of organizational Internet use (OIU) and published their results in Internet Research (Vol. 15,2005). Using data collected from a sample of 77 websites, they investigated the link between OIU level (measured on a seven-point scale) and several observation-based indicators. Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient (and associated p-values) for several indicators are shown in the following table:
