Compare and contrast survey research.

What will be an ideal response?


Ans: The cost, large populations, generalizability, and surveys—particularly online surveys—have a very small cost per participant. Even with incentives, the cost per response is often far less than the cost of running a focus group or a phone interview, while the responses you receive can number into the thousands. Data collection is much easier with surveys, which tend to use easy-to-read data sources that can be compiled and analyzed as needed for your market research needs. Anonymity and candid responses are a plus. Sample choice is a disadvantage. Fixed or rigid answer categories are a problem.
