We suggest that for elusive species such as rafflesia and clouded leopard working through local people will remain not only a cheaper but also a more effective survey method than technical approaches.
In the survey arena, the rising costs of gathering data have been partly compensated by the use of the internet and e-based technologies which offer a range of new, relatively cost effective survey design and delivery options.
A cost-benefit analysis revealed that for long-lived ON species, ringing as many chicks as possible appears as the most effective survey component, unless a technique for capturing breeding birds at low cost is available to compensate for reduced local recruitment.
The framework is illustrated with case studies of top performers like Amazon, Apple, LexisNexis and USAA and results from an effective practices survey.

Performing more effective survey and processing end-use field data, internet database software for managing electric motor is developed and used for this survey.
Explorations of these processes are now used to help craft effective survey questions, to interpret the results of asking such questions, and to formulate coherent theories of the survey interview.
