Special purpose establishment surveys

The International Workshop on Industrial Statistics held in Beijing, China, from July 8-10, 2013, focused on specialized purpose surveys designed to address ad hoc needs. These surveys measure perception indicators, such as during the global financial crisis when UNIDO was asked to assess the business environment rapidly. Similar assessments, like the damage evaluation post-2011 floods in Thailand, highlight the flexibility in survey design for quick analysis of business closures and losses. Key design elements include defining target groups, ensuring representative sample selection, and utilizing a small size for rapid results.
