Hi Mary,
Perhaps the below list of papers is useful? If there would be one reading to pick, it might be the Buchanan et al. piece (highlighted bold) as it contains loads of practical tips for negotiating access for research purposes.
Good luck!
Best, a.

Asunto: Please help!!! How do I gain access to executives for my dissertation research?
Hello,
Please help! I am losing sleep at night trying to figure out my research dilemma.
I am in the early stage of my dissertation writing and haven't yet determined how to gain access to my target population. My topic is social exchange relationships and executive turnover. I am hoping to email the link to a short web survey (20 Likert scale questions) to at least 200 executives which I am defining as Directors and above.
How would you suggest I go about finding and gaining access to executives for my research? I am currently putting together a two page "selling" document that I hope to show a few local companies in the San Francisco area. I keep thinking that there has to be a few other ways that I am not thinking of.
I welcome your advice and thank you in advance!
