Executive Summary In this report, there are lots of researches has been done. In order to successfully finish this research analysis, the author had found 265 people to participate on this survey. Throughout this 265 people, 150 respondents confirmed as the true respondents with the highest accuracy of the information given. The author had used simple random sampling as the method of data collection. This is because this method is simple and it can involve large number of respondents. While for the survey, the author used face to face survey. The reason is because face to face survey is much easier to get the real answer and the time spent with the respondents will also be long enough to get the wanted information. Throughout this research, the author had followed the MRS code of conduct when they do the analysis. Besides that, limitations like time of information completion, uncertainties of numbers reached in a specific time and the uncooperative of the public. This analysis also shows that Haagen Dazs is an expensive ice cream with healthier, tastier and famous brand that more people will choose on it. While economy ice cream like Nestle and King’s has more availability, more flavors and cheaper to eat.
