Study Notes
Longitudinal Studies
- Longitudinal studies track changes over time, unlike one-time snapshots.
Operating Management
- Tracking operating expense ratios within a portfolio is used for control purposes in operating management.

Inferential Statistics
- Inferential statistics use data to draw conclusions.
Market Information Functions
- Market information assists with cash flow projections, purchase/divestiture/refinancing decisions, and operational decisions.
Research and Data Collection Cost Effectiveness
- The ideal point for research and data collection is when the cost of gathering more data equals the increase in value received.
Maximum Net Benefit from Market Research
- The maximum net benefit from market research isn't objectively measurable.
Research Process and Available Data
- The definition of the research problem is impacted the least by the availability of data when compared to research design, data collection, and analysis.
