State the research questions and objectives
• 研究问题和假设使营销问题的陈述更加清晰。
• 假设是未经证实的命题或问题的可能解决方案。
• 让研究人员清楚他们期望通过研究发现什么,并提供对决策有用的信息。
• 例如,如果消费者对产品的态度向积极的方向转变,那么对该产品的消费就会增加。

decision-oriented research objectives
(continued)
Decision-oriented research objectives
(continued)
• A mechanism that allows managers to evaluate the details of the proposed research
design and determine if alterations are necessary.
• 研究设计的书面陈述,包括解释研究目的的陈述。
• 概述特定的研究方法。
• 概述与研究过程的每个阶段相关的程序。
• 研究提案的准备迫使研究人员批判性地思考研究过程的每个阶段。
Research proposal decisions
• Preparation of a research proposal forces the researcher to think
critically about each stage of the research process
• Proposal must communicate exactly what information will be obtained,
where it will be obtained and how it will be obtained. For this reason, it must
be explicit about sample selection, measurement, fieldwork and so on.
• Proposal format follows the six stages in the research process
outlined in Table 2.3
• 研究提案的准备迫使研究人员批判性地思考研究过程的每个阶段
• 提案必须准确传达将获得哪些信息、将在何处获得以及如何获得。 因
此,必须明确样本选择、测量、实地工作等。
• 提案格式遵循表 2.3 中概述的研究过程的六个阶段
Stage 1: problem definition
• What is the purpose of the study?
• How much is already known?
• Is additional background information necessary?
• What is to be measured? How?
• Can the data be made available?
• Should research be calculated?
• 研究的目的是什么?
• 有多少是已知的?
• 是否需要额外的背景信息?
• 要测量什么? 如何?
• 可以提供数据吗?
• 研究应该计算吗?
Stage 2: Selection of basic research design
• What types of questions need to be answered?
• Are descriptive or causal findings required?
• What is the source of the data?
• How quickly is the information needed?
• How should survey questions be worded?
• How should experimental manipulations be made?
• 需要回答哪些类型的问题?
• 是否需要描述性或因果性调查结果?
• 数据的来源是什么?
• 需要多快的信息?
• 调查问题应该如何措辞?
• 应该如何进行实验操作?
Stage 3: Selection of sample
• Who or what is the source of the data? 谁或什么是数据的来源?
能否确定目标人群?
• Can the target population be identified? 需要样品吗?
样本必须有多准确?
• Is a sample necessary? 是否需要概率样本?
是否需要国家样本?
• How accurate must the sample be? 需要多大的样本?
如何选择样本?
• Is a probability sample necessary?
• Is a national sample necessary?
• How large a sample is necessary?
• How will the sample be selected?
Stage 4: Data gathering
• Who will gather the data?
• How long will data gathering take?
• How much supervision is needed?
• What operational procedures need to be followed?
• 谁来收集数据?
• 数据收集需要多长时间?
• 需要多少监督?
• 需要遵循哪些操作程序?
Stage 5: Data analysis and evaluation
• Will standardised editing and coding procedures be used?
• How will the data be categorised?
• Will computer or hand tabulation be used?
• What is the nature of the data?
• What questions need to be answered?
• How many variables are to be investigated simultaneously?
• What are the criteria for evaluation of performance?
• 是否会使用标准化的编辑和编码程序?
• 数据将如何分类?
• 会用电脑还是手工制表?
• 数据的性质是什么?
• 需要回答哪些问题?
• 要同时研究多少个变量?
• 绩效评估的标准是什么?
Stage 6: Type of report
• Who will read the report?
• Are managerial recommendations requested?
• How many presentations are required?
• What will be the format of the written report?
• 谁将阅读报告?
• 是否需要管理建议?
• 需要多少演示文稿?
• 书面报告的格式是什么?
Overall evaluation of the research design
• Costs and timing considerations:
• How much will the study cost?
• Is the time frame acceptable?
• Is outside help (e.g. outsourcing certain tasks) needed?
• Will this research design attain the stated research objectives?
• When should the research begin?
• 成本和时间考虑:
• 学习费用是多少?
• 时间框架可以接受吗?
• 是否需要外部帮助(例如外包某些任务)?
• 这种研究设计能否达到既定的研究目标?
• 什么时候应该开始研究?
Anticipating outcomes
• Potential data results that can be expected.
• The anticipation of statistical findings is often lacking in research
proposals.
• Dummy tables: Representations of the actual tables that will be in the
findings section of the final report.
• Dummy tables help managers gain a better understanding of actual
outcomes.
• 可以预期的潜在数据结果。
• 研究提案中往往缺乏对统计结果的预期。
• 虚拟表:将在最终报告的调查结果部分中表示的实际表。
• 虚拟表可帮助管理人员更好地了解实际结果。

Review questions
• You have been hired by RELA Malaysia to learn how they can increase the number of
volunteers. Define your research objectives.
• Do they conduct research objectively without bias and report the finds that naturally arise? Or
do they conduxt research in order to support preconceived ideas and fulfil a managerial
agenda? The chance of a promotion (i.e. a bribe) for conducting research this way (i.e
unscientifically) suggest dishonesty.
• 管理层要求您通过研究表明去年的营销活动对销售产生积极影响,为去年的营销活动提
供理由。 如果您的报告受到好评,您很有可能会被考虑晋升。 你该怎么办?
• 他们是否客观地进行研究而没有偏见并报告自然产生的发现? 还是他们进行研究以支持
先入为主的想法并完成管理议程? 以这种方式(即不科学地)进行研究的晋升(即贿
赂)的机会表明不诚实。
