November 1, 2011 - Does Research Reflect Reality?, IJMR Research Methods Forum 2011, London. This topic is dear to my heart – see my July 2011 article for Sustainable Business magazine where I argue that “Market researchers need to do a better job at understanding and explaining what survey evidence tells us, given that different research approaches can produce quite different results. As the number of research methodologies grows, market research should be more evidence-based using a process of triangulation to understand how each approach provides complementary understanding, and to take a multi-disciplinary perspective.”
