Research Design

This document provides an overview of different types of research design: exploratory research seeks insights with no clear hypotheses; descriptive research provides a snapshot of market characteristics; and causal research examines cause-and-effect relationships by manipulating independent variables and controlling other variables. It also discusses research tactics like measurement, sampling plans, and cost/time considerations. The document outlines steps for international marketing research including equivalence of constructs and analysis across cultures.

Exploratory:

Seeking insights into a problem no clear definition of hypothesis Provides an accurate snapshot of aspect of the market Hypothesis exits: tentative, speculative One variable determines the values of other variables
