Operating Survey

ICBA Operating Survey

The ICBA Operating Survey is a defining example of the institutional store culture to share success towards mutual improvements. The ICBA Operating Survey provides confidential details specific to each store and is used for benchmarking, strategic planning and networking. This resource provides stores with a roadmap for continued success, solid measures of performance, opportunities to connect with other stores and to learn from one another.

Considered to be one of the most valued membership benefits, the ICBA Operating Survey is available to all Independent College Bookstore Association member stores that choose to participate. Each year at the annual conference in February, stores achieving outstanding financial performance are recognized for their accomplishments.

  • Awards for the 2009-2010 Best Practices and Top Performers were given at the ICBA 2011 Retail Conference, Business Encounter & PRIMEtime in Las Vegas, Nevada. Seven of ICBA's outstanding stores were recognized for demonstrating excellence through internal leadership, strategy development and execution.
Remember the DEADLINE to submit your 2010-2011 Operating Survey is Oct. 31, 2011

The deadline for submission of your store’s 2010-2011 completed Operating Survey is October 31st. Due to the complexity of and time involved in troubleshooting, editing, analyzing and reporting results, surveys received after October 31st may not be included in the survey report.

To prepare you, here is an old SAMPLE of Instructions, Certificate of Confidentiality and the Survey Questionnaire.
