Experimental research involves manipulating an independent variable and measuring its effect on a dependent variable while controlling for extraneous variables. There are various experimental designs including completely randomized designs, randomized block designs, Latin square designs, and factorial designs. Test marketing is a type of experimental research conducted in realistic market conditions to estimate outcomes and identify weaknesses in new product or marketing plan ideas before broader implementation.

Customer Value-based pricing uses the buyers’ perceptions of value, not the sellers’ cost, as the key to pricing. Price is considered before the marketing program is set.
Value-based pricing is customer driven
Cost-based pricing is product driven

Experimental method of Educational Research.Neha Deo
experimental method is the most challenging method of the Educational research. In the experimental method different functional & factorial designs can be used. One has to think over the internal & external validity of the experiment also.In this presentation all these things are discussed in details.
An experimental research design helps researchers execute their research objectives with more clarity and transparency.Experimental research design is a framework of protocols and procedures created to conduct experimental research with a scientific approach using two sets of variables.The best example of experimental research methods is quantitative research.
Experimental research helps a researcher gather the necessary data for making better research decisions and determining the facts of a research study.
How to Know if a Quantitative Research Design Is Appropriate for Your StudyMaria Sanchez
Are you wondering what quantitative research design is best for your thesis/dissertation? This webinar will present several options and criteria to choose the most appropriate one.
The topics are:
* Characteristics of Quantitative Research
* When to Choose Quantitative Research
* Types of Quantitative Research Designs
* Description, Basic Diagram, and Threats to Validity of Each Type of Design
2. Experiment
• A research investigation in which conditions are
controlled
• One independent variable is manipulated
(sometimes more than one)
• Its effect on a dependent variable is measured
• To test a hypothesis
3. Basic Issues of Experimental Design
• Manipulation of the Independent Variable
• Selection of Dependent Variable
• Assignment of Subjects (or other Test Units)
• Control Over Extraneous Variables
4. The experimenter has some degree of
control over the independent variable.
The variable is independent because its
value can be manipulated by the
experimenter to whatever he or she
wishes it to be.
6. Independent Variable
• The experimenter controls
independent variable.
• The variable’s value can be
manipulated by the experimenters to
whatever they wish it to be.
7. Manipulation of Independent Variable
• Classificatory Vs. continuous variables
• Experimental and control groups
• Treatment levels
• More than one independent variable
8. Experimental Treatments
• The alternative manipulations of the
independent variable being investigated
9. Dependent Variable
• Its value is expected to be dependent
on the experimenter’s manipulation
• Criterion or standard by which the
results are judged
14. Controlling Extraneous Variables
• Elimination of extraneous variables
• Constancy of conditions
• Order of presentation
• Blinding
• Random assignment
15. How May an Experimenter control for
Extraneous Variation?
• Eliminate Extraneous Variables
• Hold Conditions Constant
• Randomization
• Matching Subjects
20. Laboratory Experiment Field Experiment

Variables

22. When does an Experiment have
Internal Validity?
Internal Validity - The ability of an
experiment to answer the question
whether the experimental treatment was
the sole cause of changes in a dependent
variable
Did the manipulation do what it was
supposed to do?
25. Type of Extraneous Variable Example
History - Specific events in the
environment between the Before
and After measurement that are
beyond the experimenter’s control
Maturation - Subjects change
during the course of the experiment
Testing - The Before measure alerts
or sensitizes subject to nature of
experiment or second measure.
A major employer
closes its plant in
test market area
Subjects become
tired
Questionnaire
about the traditional
role of women
triggers enhanced
awareness of women
in an experiment.
26. Instrument - Changes in
instrument result in response bias
Selection - Sample selection
error because of differential
selection comparison groups
Mortality - Sample attrition; some
subjects withdraw from experiment
New questions about
women are interpreted
differently from earlier
questions.
Control group and
experimental group is
self-selected group
based on preference for
soft drinks
Subjects in one group
of a hair dying study
marry rich widows and
move to Florida

Experimental Group 2: R X O5
Control Group 2: R X O6
44. Advanced Experimental Designs are
More Complex
• Completely randomized
• Randomized block design
• Latin square
• Factorial
45. Completely Randomized Design
• An experimental design that uses a random
process to assign subjects (test units) and
treatments to investigate the effects of only
one independent variable.
46. Completely Randomized Designs
Average minutes

Control:
no music
Experimental
treatment:

Experimental

50. Randomized Block Design
• An extension of the completely randomized
design in which a single extraneous variable
that might affect test units’ response to the
treatment has been identified and the
effects of this variable are isolated by
blocking out its effects.
51. Independent Variables
Control:
no music
Experimental

slow music
Experimental

Randomized Block Design
52. Factorial Design
• An experiment that investigates the
interaction of two or more variables on a
single dependent variable.
53. Independent Variable 1
No Music

No Music Slow Music Fast Music
Grocery

Independent Variable 2
55. Effects
• Main effect
• The influence of a single
independent variable
on a dependent
variable.
• Interaction effect
• The influence on a
dependent variable by
combinations of two or
more independent
variables.

that attempts to control or block out the
effect of two or more extraneous factors by
restricting randomization with respect to the
row and column effects.
