The choice depends on: Research objectivesTopics or issues under investigationAbility to reach the sampleTime and budget availableOften needs to be revised due to practical reasons

Qualitative Research is intensivethe focus is on depththe scope is narrowReliability may decrease
Quantitative Research is extensivethe focus is on breadththe scope is wide

Qualitative Research techniques are best suited to:Increase understandingExpand knowledgeClarify the real issuesIdentify a range of behavioursExplore/explain consumer motivations/attitudes/behaviour
![Page 11: Marketing Research Techniques](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061201/5479b8d4b4af9f97228b462c/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Basic market exploratory studies:To look for opportunities for NPDWhen consumer markets change & current information is necessary to understand the changing attitude or behaviour When new markets require descriptive information to aid marketing or advertising development programmesWhen companies require information on a market which is new to them

New Product Development:To understand a market or brand to discover any “gaps”To obtain reactions to a large number of NPD product concepts/ideas to see which directions are worth followingTo understand strengths/weaknesses of a new product to guide improvementsTo aid in the development of a total NPD proposition. I.e. product, packaging, positioning and advertising

When the situation under discussion holds the potential to be embarrassing to be stressful or confidentialWhere a detailed analysis of a complex situation needs to be undertakenWhere peer pressure may cause some respondents to act atypically (lie to avoid disgrace)Where the interviewer needs to gain a progressive set of images of a decision processIn novel, complex situations where the prime intention is to explore rather than measure

From general to specificIn a logical mannerStart by encouraging interviewee to talk descriptivelyThen ask opinions and feelingsAsk knowledge and skills questions in context once rapport and trust establishedConcentrate on present and past activitiesKeep background and demographic questions until end

Great depth & richness of dataCan ascribe directly responses to an individualAbility to develop close rapport/trust which may encourage a freer flow of conversation and more valid dataLack of overt peer pressure to conform to social norms etc. This allows for the expression of non-conformity without sanctions

Costly in terms of time/money and in terms of analysisNeeds skilled interviewers (hard to find)Can only work with a small sample; therefore ability to generalise limitedBecause of subjectivity, difficult to compare results of one interviewer with those of others

In intimate or personal situationsWhen there are strong social norms which pressure people to conformWhere a detailed life history is importantWhere the group is likely to be too heterogeneous with respect to the characteristic of interestWhere it is difficult to recruit the sample

Questions tend to be open ended and non-directiveAllow respondents to use own languageNote not just what is being said BUT also how it is being saidRemember to probe at all occasionsCan consider using projective techniques
