Location (Not Relevant: All projects are working in the same location in Beijing, so this is not a relevant sampling factor.)

Size (Not Relevant: All projects are not significantly different in size, so this is not a relevant sampling factor.)
Organizational Structure (Not Relevant: All projects are working under the same organization and management structure, so organizational structure is not a relevant sampling factor.)
Type of Work: Projects are based on two different types of type of work: – Middleware platform – Distributed platform based on internet technology |
| Sampling Factor Values: |
Middleware Platform (Type of Work): Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) is a middleware (general term for software that serves to “glue together”) tool platform used to distribute work among connected components of an application. EBSs are designed to provide a uniform means of moving work, offering applications the ability to connect to the bus and subscribe to messages based on simple structural and business policy rules.
Distributed Platform based on Internet Technology (Type of Work): Integrated communications platform based principally on Internet technology (e.g. mobile information platform, bank and financial platform), to address information interactive communication, implementation and management, bank & financial business, mobile information services, information technology. |
