Key ideas in Marketing Research in Practice
- Management problems ask what business action the executive team must take.

- Descriptive cross-sectional surveys quantify patterns spotted in discovery.
- Causal live experiments isolate mechanisms after the key variables are mapped.
- A rigorous hypothesis names a concrete marketing lever as an independent variable.
- The outcome must be an observable behavior rather than a vague sentiment.
- Specifying the direction of effect ensures the experiment yields clear proof.
- Construct validity requires linking abstract concepts to tangible user actions.
