  15. Marketing Research Summary • A general marketing research framework involves the following seven steps: 1) opportunity or problem definition, 2) research design, 3) population sampling, 4) data collection and entry, 5) data analysis, 6) validation, and 7) final report • Offline marketing research methods are generally reliable but expensive and labor-intensive. Online methods significantly reduce the turnaround time and cost, but it may be difficult to draw a random and representative sample. • Internet-based marketing research works best when: • A representative sample can be drawn from the population • There is no issue with confidentiality of the data • The topic is sufficiently straightforward that it can be communicated via a short, relatively simple survey ã 2001 - Dwayne D.
