Qualitative Studies

Businesses are run by people. To know the capability of a company, know the capability of its manpower. People tend to develop expertise in areas of their involvement. They develop insight of routine matters and use the foresight to prepare for the future. Many a time businesses are faced with a problem about which there is very little or no awareness. It becomes almost impossible to take decisions or decide the future course of actions under such circumstances.

This commonly occurs in a business when an expansion is envisaged or when the market dynamics suddenly change. Typical examples are:

  • Expanding in a new territory (With in the same country or overseas)
  • Development of a new product
  • Repositioning of brand/product (Due to competition in market or loss of market share)

The decision makers might feel that they need to explore for information before taking any decision. The information sought in these scenarios is not definitive but qualitative in nature. Discussions with the distribution channel, expert’s opinion, or few in-depth customer interviews will probably do the task. The discussions should be done by capable people and care is required at the time of recruitment of the respondents and follow ups are required to convince them to come to the venue.

We have a wide exposure of conducting in-depth interviews, focus groups, product clinics, and observation studies. We understand the importance of recruitment of the right respondents, right way of handling the recruitments during the research process, and where the things can go wrong. We take care of all arrangements (venue, hospitality, gifts, recordings etc.) and let you free to completely concentrate on the discussions. Capable moderators lend the helping hand to control direction of the discussions and the research personnel assist you during the brain storming sessions to sum up the findings.
