Dohring
Doug Dohring is founder of The Dohring Company which, within five
years, became a top-100 U.S. market research firm. He has also served
as president and a director of a high-tech telecommunications equipment
company that went public in 1997, and is currently the chairman
and CEO of an immensely successful youth-oriented Web site.
“Founded in 1986, The Dohring Company quickly became the largest
provider of custom market research to the retail automotive industry.
Assembling a strong management team capable of continuing the company’s
expansion enabled me to temporarily set aside my responsibilities
for the daily operations of the company in 1995. I went on to become
the president and a director of a high-tech telecommunications equipment
company. In the first quarter of 1997, the company completed its
Initial Public Offering at a valuation of $300 million on the NASDAQ.
“In 1998, my attention turned back to The Dohring Company
to launch OpinionSurveys.com, a multimillion-member online market
research panel and its vertical online business-to-business market
research divisions—RestaurantSurveys.com and SatisfactionSurveys.com.
Significantly, OpinionSurveys.com has rapidly become a leader in
online market research in the U.S. Then, in early 2000, several
partners and I acquired a new Web property and formed a company
around it. Since then, this Web property has become one of the largest
youth-oriented Web sites on the Internet, both domestically and
internationally.
“Having used L. Ron Hubbard’s Administrative Technology
in every business activity and endeavor for nearly two decades now,
his organisational concepts are always with me. Using these highly
workable principles has become almost second nature to me. I use
this technology in every aspect of operating my companies: management,
personnel, marketing, finance, operations, quality control, public
relations, and much more.
“Because there is such a breadth of his technology in the
field of organisation, there is always more to learn. In my years
of using this technology, I know that if I seek out and apply it
to a given circumstance, situation, or part of the business, things
will inevitably improve. I am very grateful to L. Ron Hubbard for
developing such a powerful and useful technology for business.”
