    Study Notes

    Primary vs. Secondary Research

    • Primary Research is data collected directly by researchers for a specific study, often gathered from the source.
    • When choosing a primary data collection source, consider the research's aim and target population.
    • Secondary Research is data generated by sources outside the organization conducting the research, often reusable with little further processing.
    • Internal secondary data is generated within the organization conducting the research. Examples are information routinely supplied by the management decision support system and sales invoices.
    • External secondary data is generated by sources outside the organization conducting the research. Examples are published materials, database information, syndicated services, and marketing research information.
    • Quantitative Data includes observations, surveys, and experiments.
    • Qualitative Data includes interviews, focus groups, and ethnography.

    Secondary Data

    • Secondary data can be categorized based on source: internal or external.
    • Internal secondary data is generated within the organization conducting the research.
    • External secondary data sources include local authorities, governments, non-profit organizations, and commercial publishers.
    • Syndicated Services: These are marketing research firms that collect and sell common pools of data, designed to serve information needs of clients.
    • Published Materials: Materials that are easily accessible and ready-to-use, including marketing research information.
    • Databases: Databases that contain information that is readily accessible in a computer-readable format, for electronic distribution.

    Primary Research

    • Primary research is data collected directly by the researcher conducting the study.

    Primary Research Data Types

    • Quantitative Data: Quantitative data is measurable and focuses on numbers and statistics. It seeks to quantify and measure variables.
      • Observations: Observing and counting things, such as the number of people in a store.
      • Surveys: Asking questions and gathering responses from people.
      • Experiments: Conducting controlled tests to examine the impact of certain variables.
    • Qualitative Data: Qualitative data is descriptive and focuses on understanding perspectives, opinions, and experiences.
      • Interviews: Talking with people to get their perspectives and experiences on a topic.
      • Focus Groups: Bringing together a group of people to discuss and share their views on a topic.
      • Ethnography: Observing and understanding people in their natural environment.
