Learning Objectives
Understand . . . The basic stages of research design. The major descriptors of research design. The major types of research designs. The relationships that exist between variables in research design and the steps for evaluating those relationships.

Research Thought Leaders
“We can forecast advances in technology, but we can’t really forecast human reactions to those advances. Maybe corporate researchers will invest in big data analytics only to discover they’re missing a hugely important piece: the story of why.”
Ron Sellers, CEO,GreyMatter Research & Consulting

Experience Surveys
What is being done?What has been tried in the past with
or without success?How have things changed?Who is involved in the decisions?What problem areas can be seen?Whom can we count on to assist or
participate in the research?

Types of Asymmetrical Causal RelationshipsRelationship
TypeNature of
RelationshipExamples
Stimulus-response
An event or change results in a response
from some object.
• A change in work rules leads to a higher level of worker output.• A change in government economic policy restricts corporate financial decisions.• A price increase results in fewer unit sales.
Property-disposition
An existing property causes a disposition.
• Age and attitudes about saving.• Gender attitudes toward social issues.• Social class and opinions about taxation.
Disposition-behavior
A disposition causes a specific behavior.
• Opinions about a brand and its purchase.• Job satisfaction and work output.• Moral values and tax cheating.
Property-behavior An existing property causes a specific
behavior.
• Stage of the family life cycle and purchases of furniture.• Social class and family savings patterns.• Age and sports participation.
