class.
All the groups explore the assigned topics based on guiding questions. The assigned group(s) give
intensive presentations and discussion to help all class members to completely capture the key
knowledge of the topics.
The main contents of the Business Research methods unit are divided into 9 main topics including:
Topic 1: Marketing research process
Topic 2: Exploratory research design
Topic 3: Conclusive research design
Topic 4: Measurement & Scaling
Topic 5: Questionnaire design & sampling
Topic 6: Frequency distribution, cross-tabulation, t-test, analysis of variance and covariance
Topic 7: Discriminant and cluster analysis
2
Topic 8: Correlation, factor analysis and regression
Topic 9: Multi-dimensional scaling and conjoint analysis
Procedure and requirements:
Every topic is assigned to 2 groups.
Students in the assigned groups read the textbook of Marketing research unit, look for necessary
information from other resources and synthesize all the key information logically and appropriately.
Students in the assigned group sprepare and then, submit the ppt file via an assignment in the e-
