Critical thinking In the Strategy Business Insights Website, there is a VALS survey involved information about interests, hobbies, sexes, ages, education levels, and incomes. After finishing the survey, people will be given results of two VALS type, primary VALS type and secondary type, which are Innovators, Thinkers, Believes, Achievers, Strivers, Experiencers, Makers and Survivors. Then if people click into the VALS type, each type will be explained and introduced detailedly. Also, it will list favorite things of each type in the end of website, which are really important informations that marketers really want. The text book told us that the objective of exploratory research is to gather preliminary information that will help define the problem and suggest hypotheses, the objective of descriptive search is to describe things ,such as the market potential for product or the demographics and attitudes of consumers who buy the product and the objective of causal research is to test hypotheses about cause-and-effect relationships. The research on the website should be classified into descriptive research rather than exploratory research and casual research.
