Q

Qualitative Research

A market research method that focuses on obtaining data through open-ended and conversational communication.

78
Q

Focus groups

A

A technique in which data collection takes place in small groups of individuals, stimulated to discuss the topics that constitute the object of the research.

79
Q

Exploratory focus group

A

It is aimed at investigating a phenomenon in the absence of any basic knowledge, in order to bring out the relevant constructive variables, often in view of a quantitative phase which aims to verify the generalized existence of these variables and the relationship between them (e.g., brainstorming).

80
Q

Phenomenological focus group

A

Used to describe in depth the known characteristics of a phenomenon and the elements connected to it in causal terms. Compared to the previous ones, they provide a basic knowledge of the phenomenon to be studied (e.g., discovering the causes of customer dissatisfaction after administering a questionnaire).

81
Q

Clinics focus group

A

Used to verify the presence of unconscious, implicit and difficult to verbalize elements at the base of customers motivations, the formation of preferences and the assumption of certain behaviours of the subjects that one intends to analyse.

82
Q

Observation

A

The observation involves the interaction with the phenomenon that we want to investigate.

The collection takes place without the cognitive and emotional filter of the respondent since the phenomenon that we want to investigate is observed when it manifests itself.

83
Q

Participant observation

A

The observer participates completely in the phenomenon he intends to investigate, without revealing his identity as an observer, but acting like any other actor involved in the phenomenon.

84
Q

Participant observer

A

The observer reveals his identity and his goals, obtaining the consent of the actors to his participation.

85
Q

Observer participant

A

Participation is reduced to simple observation, minimizing social interaction.

86
Q

Ethnography

A

The ethnographic method derives from the studies of cultural anthropology, highlighting how a market phenomenon process can be traced within the cultural codes of a social group.

87
Q

Snowball sampling

A

Nonprobability samples in which selection of additional respondents is based on referrals from the initial respondents (friend of friend..) Initial respondents are selected by probability methods.

88
Q

Quota sampling

A

The population is divided into clusters. Based on previous knowledge of the population, the researchers select only a few clusters and, within these, proceed to a random extraction

89
Q

Convenience sampling

A

Sample is selected from elements of a population that are easily accessible(i.e. convenient).

90
Q

Repeated sampling

A

In repeated sampling the same particpants are tested under different conditions.

91
Q

Stratified casual sampling

A

The population is first divided into subgroups on the basis of a specific characteristic (e.g., income). We proceed to the random extraction of each subgroup in order to know how the population is stratified.

92
Q

Cluster sampling

A

The population is divided into subgroups but in this case the members are not necessarily divided on the basis of a homogeneous variable (e.g., zip code). One proceeds to random extraction from one or more clusters.

93
Q

Systematic casual sampling

A

Probability sampling in which the entire population is numbered. The first number is drawn randomly. Subsequent elements are drawn using a skip interval (i.e. systematic).

94
Q

Simple casual sampling

A

Randomness of draws Every member of the population has the same probability of being extracted it is required to know the exact number of the population members.

95
Q

Ways of analysing data

A

▪ Regression and causal models: cause / effect relations between a dependent variable and one or more independent variables

▪ Factor analysis: reduction of the relevant variables in a lower number of common factors

▪ Cluster analysis: observations are subdivided into groups that are homogeneous inside and heterogeneous with one another

▪ Conjoint analysis: configuration of the ideal product and importance of attributes through simulation of the typical trade offs of the selection process

▪ Discriminant analysis: positioning maps with respect to discriminating attributes

▪ Multidimensional scaling (MDS): non-attribute-based positioning maps

▪ Correspondence analysis: correlations between two qualitative variables (e.g.,: brands and lifestyles).

96
Q

Structuralist approach (quantitative analysis of demand)

A

Actual and potential demand

Market share

Demand elasticity

Sales forecast

97
Q

Behavioral apporach (qualitative analysis of demand)

A

Consumer behavior

Buying behavior

Customer behavior

Organization buying behavior

98
Q

Simplified stimulus-response model

A

Stiumli enters the brain of the customer

The marketing management must try to work out the factors of the brain

The characteristics influence how he or she perceives the stimuli; the decision-making process determines what buying behavior is undertaken.

The first stage of understanding consumer behavior is to focus on the factors that determine the “consumer characteristics” in the brain.

99
Q

Factors affecting behaviour of purchasing

A

Economic, personal, cultural and social

100
Q

Herzberg theory

A

The two-factor theory (also known as Herzberg’s motivation hygiene theory and dual-factor theory) states that there are certain factors that cause satisfaction (i.e., motivational factors) while a separate set of factors cause dissatisfaction (i.e., hygiene factors).

101
Q

Emotion

A

Emotions are strong, relatively uncontrolled feelings that affect behavior.
They are strongly linked to needs, motivation, and personality.
Unsatisfied needs create motivation which is related to the arousal component of emotion.
Personality also plays a role, e.g., some people are more emotional than others, a consumer trait referred to as affect intensity.

102
Q

Consumer personality

A

Personality reflect individual consistent and enduring differences

Personality is that aspect of our psyche that determines how we respond to our environment in a relatively stable way over time.

103
Q

Fiver personality dimensions

Openness (original, imaginative)
Conscientiousness (careful)
Neuroticism (worry, nervous)
Agreeableness (soft-hearted, sympathetic)
104
Q

Culutural factors

A

Culture is the most basic cause of a person’s wants and behavior. - The system of shared beliefs, values, customs, behaviors, and artifacts that the members of society use to cope with their world and with one another, and that are transmitted from generation to generation through learning.

105
Q

Social class

A

Society’s relatively permanent and ordered divisions whose members share similar values, interests, and behaviors. - Measured by a combination of occupation, income, education, wealth, and other variables.

106
Q

Expected value model

A

According to the expected value model (or Fishbein model) the consumer evaluates products and services weighing their opinions on the individual attributes of the brand with the relative importance of the attributes and makes the global attitude descend from a weighted evaluation.

EV (A) = ∑ Wi x PiA

Wi indicates the relative weight of the i-th attribute Pi indicates the relative performance of the i-th attribute with reference to the brand under assessment (A).
