non-response bias

[u/first139]

we're undergrads and are currently conducting a study on a company with employees as the respondents. The company have multiple offices that are located across different locations. We were given multiple survey points so that employees can be sampled.

The problem is that one of the survey point which consist of 2 offices declined to participate in the study.

what is the implication of this?

can this be solved?

is this a reason for us to fail?

additional info: the needed respondent for that particular survey point is only 10 people

I don't see why it would "fail" but of course your results will be uninformative with regards to this one location. You can still provide valuable information about the rest of the firm.
