What kind of peopleare buying ourproducts?

Will buyers purchasemore of our productin a new package

Would people beinterested in ournew-product idea?

What features dobuyers prefer in ourproduct?

Which of the twoadvertisingcampaigns is moreeffective?

2. Developing research plan

• Determine specific information needs

• Source of information– secondary data

• Internal • External

– primary data

Benefits and Limitations of Secondary Data

Benefits

• Low cost

• Less effort

• Less time

• Sometimes more accurate

• Some information only from secondary sources

Limitations• Collected for other purpose• No control over data collection• Potential accuracy problem• May not be reported in required

form• May be outdated• May not meet requirements• A number of assumptions made

• Planning primary data collection

– research approach

– contact methods

– sampling plan

– research instruments

Research approach

• Observational research

• survey research

• focus group

• experimental research

Contact methods

• Telephone survey

• mail questionnaires

• personal interviews

Sampling plan

• sampling unit

• sampling size

• sampling procedure

Sampling TechniquesProbability Sampling

• All population members have a known probability of being in the sample

Simple Random Sampling

• Each population member, and each possible sample, has equal probability of being selected

Stratified Sampling

• The chosen sample is forced to contain units from each of the segments or strata of the population

Sampling Techniques (Contd.)

Cluster Sampling

• Involves dividing population into subgroups

• Random sample of subgroups/clusters is selected and all members of subgroups are interviewed

• Very cost effective

• Useful when subgroups can be identified that are representative of entire population

Research instrument

The most common instrument is questionnaire

• what questions to ask

• question structure

• wording of question

• order of question

Implementing the research plan

• collecting and analyzi

ng data

Interpreting and reporting the finding• Interpret the findings, draw conclusions and

report to management

Advantages of segmentation

units.

variables– easier to measure

Psychographic segmentation

• based on social class, lifestyle, or personality characteristics

Segmentation by benefits
