Exercise 1.

One of the largest producers of fruit juices on the market is observing a slight but systematic
drop in sales of its products. Consider this and try to answer the following questions:

• What could be the possible causes for the drop in fruit juice sales (write down a list of
possible causes)?

• Consider which of the causes that you mentioned should be investigated in consumer
research and which require analysis of other data (e.g., desk research or analysis of the
company’s internal data)?

• Consider which of the causes requiring consumer research should be investigated using
qualitative research methodologies and which using quantitative research?

Exercise 2.
