Research Design Definitions
• Descriptive Research- is used to describe something usually market characteristics or functions
Determine the degree to which marketing variables are associated • Causal Research- is used to obtain evidence of cause-andeffect relationships
Research Design Definitions Continued
• Cross-Sectional Research- involves the collection of information from any given sample of population
Single Cross-Sectional- only one sample of respondents is drawn from the target population
Multiple Cross-Sectional- there are two or more samples of respondents • Longitudinal Designs- a fixed sample of population elements is measured repeatedly on the same variables
