Course Overview
Market researchers conducting multinational projects encounter complexities that simply don’t exist when conducting single-country studies. Some of the complexities are about logistics; for example, how to find quality sample for multinational surveys. Some of the complexities are more about research design; for example, some research methods are more effective in some countries, less so in others. And other complexities are about analysis; for example, making choices about how to analyze and report data from multiple countries when we know that cultural differences can impact response behavior.
In this class, Instructor Kathryn Korostoff teaches students about managing global research studies while mitigating known risks. This is an important topic: global brands need global customer insights.
Upon course completion, you will be able to:
- Identify risks related to conducting global research studies
- Create realistic, informed methodology recommendations
- Manage client or stakeholder expectations about global research timelines
- Choose from among 3 strategies for analyzing and reporting multinational data
