scaling techniques

 A Classification of Scaling techniques 

SCALING TECHNIQUES ARE CLASSIFIED INTO TWO 

  1. Comparative 

  1. Non-comparative 

 

Comparative scales involve the direct comparison of stimulus objects. Comparative scale data must be interpreted in relative terms and have only ordinal or rank order properties. 

Under comparative they are four kind of techniques 

1.paired comparison 

2.rank order 

3.constant sum 

4.q sort and other procedures 

 

In non-comparative scales, each object is scaled independently of the others in the stimulus set. The resulting data are generally assumed to be interval or ratio scaled. 

Under non comparative scales they are two kinds 

1.continuous rating scales 

2.itemized rating scales 

Again, under itemized scaling they are three kind 

1.likert 

2.semantic differential 

3.stapel 

 

Paired comparison 

An activity for evaluating a small range of options by comparing them against each other. 

 

Rank order scaling 

Respondents are presented with several objects simultaneously and asked to order or rank them according to some criterion. 

 

 

 

Constant sum scale  

Respondents allocate a fixed number of rating points among several objects to reflect relative preference. 

 

Q sort scaling 

A type of comparative scale where respondents are asked to sort between 60-90 objects into piles according to some criteria. It is useful technique for sorting relatively large numbers of objects quite quickly.

casual research design

  Casual research design:   It is basically cause and effect relationship.   If x is independent variable.    Y is dependent variable.    If there is a change in x then there  will  be change in y also     Conditions for causality  : 1.Concomitant variation: There should be association between dependent and independent variable.   2.Time of occurrence: It should be occurred before or ongoing  process it should not occur after the process.   3.Absence of other possible casual factor: the other factors which are out of control should be nullified.   Validity in casual research experimentation   1 internal validity: refers to the manipulation of independent variables or treatment actually caused by dependent variables and control of extraneous variables is necessary.   2.external validity:    You have to design internal validity in such way that results can be generalized  to mass . ...

STAGES OF NEW PRODUCT DESIGN

 STEPS INVOLVED IN DEVELOPING NEW PRODUCT DESIGN: IDEA GENERATION: The design process begins with understanding the customer needs. Ideas for a new product can come from several sources. Internal sources include employees, research and development, market research. External sources include customer, political, environmental, and technological. SCREENING IDEAS: The purpose of screening ideas is to exclude those ideas that do not seem to have high potential. FEASIBILITY STUDY: Feasibility study consists of market analysis, economic analysis and technical and strategic analysis The market analysis through customer analysis and market survey assesses whether there is adequate demand for the proposed product to invest in developing further. If the adequate demand subsists, then there is an economic analysis that aims at establishing the production and development costs and relates them with estimated sales volume.   The profit potential of the product can be deliber...
