SURVEYS
✗In survey research, the
researcher selects a sample of
respondents from a population
and administers a
standardized questionnaire to
them.
1
Experiments
✗This is an experiment
where the researchers
manipulate one variable,
and control/randomizes
the rest of the variables.
2
Observational
research
✗Observational research (or
field research) is a type of
correlational (i.e., non-
experimental) research in
which a researcher observes
ongoing behavior.
3
Random
Sampling
Methods
The random sampling is also
called as a probability sampling
since the sample selection is
done randomly so the laws of
probability can be applied.
1
Non-Random
Sampling Methods
In the case of non-random
sampling, the selection is done
on the basis other than the
probability considerations, such
as judgment, convenience, etc.
2
Non-Random
Sampling Methods
The non-random sampling is
subject to sampling
variability, but however there
is no certain pattern of
variability in the process.

Entrepreneur Asia Pacific (n.d.)
states that market research
provides relevant data to help
solve marketing challenges that a
business will most likely face--an
integral part of the business
planning process.

primary sources
Gathering data from primary sources includes
observation networking, interviewing and
experimentation. It means that the person who
needs the data does the gathering himself or
herself while gathering data from secondary
sources means that somebody else has gathered
the data and you are a secondary user of said
data.
1
secondary
sources
Secondary sources of data are those that
have already been compiled and are
available like those from business
directories, demographic data from
government or private agencies, existing
market research, and those from the
internet.
2
Secondary data includes:
o public documents
o books
o journals and magazines
o internet
o internal data bases

British Library (n.d.) cited
sampling as an effective way of
obtaining opinions from a wide
range of people, selected from a
specific group, in a bid to find out
more about a whole group in
general.
13
Simple Random
Sampling
— the most commonly used sampling
technique, and truly random, this
method randomly selects individuals
from a list of the population, with
every individual having an equal
chance at being selected.
14
Stratified
Sampling
— this method is a conflation of
Simple Random and Systematic
Sampling and is often used when
there are a multitude of unique
subgroups that require full,
randomized representation across
the sampling population.
15
Systematic
Sampling
— rather than randomly
selecting individuals from a
population, this method is
based on a system of selecting
participants.
16
Multistage
Sampling
– it is the probability sampling
technique wherein the sampling
is carried out in several stages
such that the sample size gets
reduced at each stage.
17
Judgement
Sampling
– it is the non-random sampling
technique wherein the choice of
sample items depends
exclusively on the investigator’s
knowledge and professional
judgment.
18
Convenience
Sampling
– it is the non-probability
sampling technique wherein a
proportion of the population is
selected on the basis of its
convenient availability.
19
Quota Sampling
– it is yet another non-probability
sampling method wherein the
population is divided into a
mutually exclusive, sub-groups
from which the sample items are
selected on the basis of a given
proportion.
20
Snowball
Sampling
– it is a non-random sampling
technique wherein the initial
informants are approached who
through their social network nominate
or refer the participants that meet the
eligibility criteria of the research under
study.
21
Snowball
Sampling
Thus, this method is also
called as the referral
sampling method or chain
sampling method.

  • #16 For example, a market researcher may select from a list of the population every 20th person. While this allows for a controlled way to select from a target population, it may be skewed depending on how the original list is structured or organized.
