used to predict whether a customer is likely to purchase a product or service.

Combination with Cluster Analysis

Cluster analysis and discriminant analysis can be used together to identify and classify market
segments. For example, cluster analysis can be used to identify groups of customers with similar
characteristics, and discriminant analysis can then be used to identify factors that can be used to
predict whether a customer in a particular cluster is likely to purchase a product or service.

Conjoint Analysis

Conjoint analysis is a statistical method that is used to assess consumer preferences for different
combinations of product features. This can be useful for market research because it can help
researchers to determine the relative importance of different product features and to develop new
products that are more likely to appeal to consumers.

Multi-Dimensional Scaling: Perceptual Mapping

Multidimensional scaling (MDS) is a statistical method that is used to create a map of objects based
on their perceived similarities or dissimilarities. This can be useful for market research because it can
help researchers to understand how consumers perceive different products or brands.

Applications in Market Research

Multivariate techniques have a wide range of applications in market research, including:

• Identifying market segments: Multivariate techniques can be used to identify different


segments of the market based on their characteristics. This can be useful for developing
targeted marketing campaigns.

MODULE 5 - Qualitative Analysis – Brainstorming, Focus Groups, In-Depth Interviews, Projective


Techniques,

Answer - Qualitative analysis involves exploring and understanding data that is not easily quantifiable
or numerical. It delves into the depths of human experiences, thoughts, and emotions, providing rich
insights into consumer behavior, market trends, and overall human nature.
1. Brainstorming:
Brainstorming is a collaborative technique that generates a wide range of ideas in a free-
flowing and unrestricted manner. It encourages participants to think creatively, explore
unconventional ideas, and build upon each other's contributions. Brainstoring sessions are
often used at the initial stages of research to identify potential areas of exploration, formulate
research questions, and develop hypotheses.
2. Focus Groups:
Focus groups are moderated discussions with a small group of participants (typically 6-10)
who share similar characteristics or experiences. The moderator guides the discussion
through a series of open-ended questions, allowing participants to express their opinions,
attitudes, and perceptions on a specific topic or product. Focus groups are valuable for
gathering in-depth qualitative data, understanding group dynamics, and identifying common
themes and trends.
3. In-Depth Interviews:
In-depth interviews involve one-on-one conversations between a researcher and a participant,
allowing for a more personalized and in-depth exploration of their thoughts, experiences, and
motivations. The researcher probes into the participant's responses, asking follow-up
questions to gain a deeper understanding of their perspectives and uncover underlying
emotions. In-depth interviews are particularly useful for gathering nuanced insights,
understanding individual differences, and exploring sensitive or personal topics.
4. Projective Techniques:
Projective techniques are indirect methods of gathering qualitative data by presenting
ambiguous stimuli that encourage participants to project their own thoughts, emotions, and
experiences onto the stimuli. These techniques aim to uncover underlying motivations,
attitudes, and perceptions that may not be readily expressed through direct questioning.
Common projective techniques include:
• Word Association Tests: Participants are given a list of words and asked to respond
with the first word that comes to mind. The researcher analyzes the associations
between the stimulus words and the participants' responses to identify underlying
thoughts and feelings.
• Sentence Completion Tests: Participants are given incomplete sentences and asked to
complete them. The researcher analyzes the completed sentences to gain insights into
the participants' attitudes, beliefs, and values.
• Thematic Apperception Test (TAT): Participants are shown ambiguous images and
asked to create stories about the characters and events depicted. The researcher
analyzes the stories to understand the participants' motivations, conflicts, and coping
mechanisms.
Qualitative analysis provides valuable insights into the human side of consumer behavior,
market trends, and societal phenomena. It complements quantitative research by offering a
deeper understanding of the underlying motivations, emotions, and experiences that drive
human behavior.
