Adhoc Customised Market Research Reports

The Centre for Performance Measurement and Market Research [CPMMR] - Nigeria, engages inhigh quality of whole research process, doing the following:

Exploratory Research investigating possibilities, rather than finding specific answers to questions. For example, an organization may have an idea that it wants to develop but is not sure which way to go next. Alternatively, a business may be unable to explain a sudden increase [ or fall ] in sales and will want to identify possible reasons for it.

The research is conducted into a research problem or issue when there are very few or no earlier studies to which we can refer for information about the issue or problem.

Delivery Time: 4 Weeks.

Descriptive Research aims to create a clearer picture of the factors that are influencing a market. This type of research is commonly used to support specific decisions. For example, a company might wish to find out how often customers use its products and attempt to identify the demographic characteristics [such as age, gender, residential neighborhood, or ethnic origin] of the heaviest users. This information might enable it to target others with similar demographic characteristics who do not currently use the product heavily.

Descriptive research may answer such questions as :

What is the absentee rate in particular offices?
What are the feelings of workers faced with redundancy?
What are the qualifications of different groups of employees?

Delivery Time: 6 Weeks.

Analytical/Causal Research aims to understand the phenomenon by discovering and measuring causal relations among them. For example, information may be collected on the size of companies and the levels of labour turnover.

Analytical research attempts to answer such questions as :

Analytical research attempts to answer such questions as :
How can we reduce the number of complaints made by customers?
How can we improve the delivery times of our products?
How can we expand the range of our services?

Delivery Time: 8 Weeks.

Predictive Research aims to generalize from the analysis by predicting certain phenomena on the basis of hypothesized, general relationships. For example, predictive research attempts to answer such questions as :

In which city would it be most profitable to open a new retail outlet?
Will the introduction of an employee bonus scheme lead to higher levels of productivity?
What type of packaging will improve the sales of our products?
How would an increase in interest rates affect our profit margins?

Predictive research provides ‘how’, ‘why’ and ‘where’ answers to current events and also to similar events in the future. It is also helpful in situations where ‘what if ‘ questions are being asked.

Delivery Time: 10 Weeks.
