8 It is worth noting that even if we were to differentiate between foreign and local companies by surveying companies from the free zones and the rest of Dubai, we would have a sampling problem because the number of companies in the free zones is by far lower than the number of companies in the rest of Dubai.

9 The survey was conducted from May 2007 to April 2008, and questionnaires were e-mailed to 400 companies listed in the Dubai Chamber of Commerce & Industry (DCCI) 2006-2007 Directory. The response rate was poor even after four reminders within six months. The questionnaires were resent by mail to the heads of the management accounting depart- ments of 270 companies, of which, 140 companies were from the industrial sector and 130 from the services and retail sector. A series of follow-ups resulted in a response rate of 41% and 32%, respectively.

11 A sample of the questionnaire is available from the authors.

12 A criterion of ≤500 MDhs is considered for treating such com- panies as SMEs.

13 One of the issues related to the collection of primary data is the likelihood that the survey questionnaires that were received late might indicate no responses or unreliable responses because managers might fill out the questionnaire just for the sake of it because of their preoccupation. In other words, these late responses may not reflect what is actually happening at the firm, let alone the current practice. We tested for the existence of a nonresponse bias using the Mann- Whitney U test by selecting the first 10 and the last 10 responses. We computed the mean response scores for each question to test whether the differences in the means were sta- tistically significant across the two subsamples. Our analysis rejected the null hypothesis to conclude that our data does not suffer from the nonresponse bias.

14 This may be due to the fact that the U.K. study was conduct- ed in the beginning of the 1990s when the use of information technology was very limited.
