Step 6: Prepare Research Report 47 Summarising the research findings
Making recommendations<br>
48
48 Recommendations ? Extended Learning Activity (3): Make Recommendations based on the Research Results Research finding (1)
More respondents agree that ‘name of a product’ is a factor affecting their purchase.
‘Name of product’ is a factor affecting customer behaviour. Research finding (2)
Based on the result from average rating method alone, there is no strong view on whether the ‘new brand name’ is a factor affecting customer’s purchase on average. Research finding (3)
Males buy more frequently than females.<br>
49
49 Extended Learning Activity (3): Recommendation Recommendation (1) : The company may consider changing a new brand name to attract customers as research found that the name of product would affect consumers’ decision on their purchase. However, more research is needed to find out customers’ preference on the old brand name over the new one. Recommendation (2) : Average rating method may not be the appropriate research analysis method to use in this situation. The company may consider using other data analysis research methods, like crosstab analysis, to dig in the data before proposing a business recommendation. Recommendation (3):
The company should continue to strengthen the male market.
It should explore more on the female market, e.g. develop a different product to serve their needs.<br>
