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.
