Types of Research Design

Qualitative Vs Quantitative Examples?

Exploratory Design
Eg. Focus group discussions Enables a more precise problem definition Identify Variables
Helps decide on factors

Helps generate hypothesis for further study

Descriptive Design
Most Marketing research is of this type Empirical evidence can be established Longitudinal Two or more time points
Eg. Effect of consumer promotions, change in price, package design Some inherent disadvantages: Selection bias

Cross Sectional Design -One single time point


Eg. Market Survey involving a cross section from the population

Causal Design
Also known as experimental designs One variable say X ,influences another variables say Y.
Price reduction -> Volume increase Customer Satisfaction -> Customer Loyalty

Quasi Experimental Designs


R = Random X = Experimental Treatment O = Observation

After-Only Without Control Group


XO Also called one-shot case study Test unit not selected at random Single group is exposed to treatment and then measurement is taken Eg: Effect of training on sales force

Before-After without Control Group


O1 X O2 Eg: After training how did the salesmen perform in comparison to before training

The Static Group Comparison Design


Use of two groups Group 1 exposed to treatment and Group 2 is not Group 1 (Experimental Group): X1 O1 Group 2 (Control Group): X2 O2
Note X2 is regular routine or program

Experiment result is obtained by O1 O2

Time Series Design


Extension of one group pre-test and posttest design Periodic measurement are taken for the same unit Ex: Advertising campaigns effect on Market Share

Measurement of a variable
Scales/ Instrument
Nominal Ordinal Interval Ratio

Validity
Validated in another context Content, Construct, Convergent, Discriminant

Reliability
