How about a Analysis section. Start with the words 'From the primary research, several'.
assistant
From the primary research, several issues emerged in regard to the reliance of the study. For example, Starbucks emerged as the most preferred business entity by the customers. From the sample 100 customers, Starbucks emerged as a huge enterprise and can provide quality coffee.
Perhaps, this explains why the price of Starbucks’s coffee is slightly high compared to McDonald’s, Burger King and Dunkin Donuts. From the research findings, the study on the coffee taste did not include any data to reveal how the variable was measured. Perhaps, a measurement scale on taste should be used to cover the flaw of the study.
The flaws of the studies imply that Joe did not follow the required stages of a marketing research process. However, the initial marketing research was qualitative in nature since it was based on secondary resources. Apparently, the researcher relied on internet information and magazines.
The qualitative marketing research stage is important for gathering the general view relating to market, competitors, products and prices. On the other hand, Joe’s proposal to conduct primary research shows the importance of using quantitative marketing research.
Quantitative marketing research is conducted by sampling customers who prefer coffee. In this context, recording customer’s preferences and taste on product, as well as, price are a part of quantitative marketing research. Apparently, a quantitative marketing research is effective in determining the reliability of the available market information.
