Survey Research is in the Cards for DEC RIP 6.1 Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC) has made a conscious effort in the past years to shift from a product-driven focus to a more market-and consumer-driven focus. The product focus is not unusual in companies manufacturing hi-tech products. There is a serious need for market research in these hi-tech companies as they direct their products to the market. Still, market research in this arena is difficult. It is complicated by the rapid change of technology as well as the sheer size of the application market. Often the technology will be employed in many different industries.

This holds true for the computer market where DEC is a key player. Computers are bought by individuals in every walk of life as well as by businesses in every market imaginable. The breadth of the market makes useful market research a formidable task. This task is being undertaken at DEC in their Corporate Marketing Services (CMS) Division, however. research data are used. RIP 6.1 Contd.

“Digital’s Corporate Marketing Services Division has been a core element in the company’s transition to a market-driven strategy.” CMS is coordinating the company’s strategy to redefine their product from simply computers to a broader view of the business solutions. The CMS has employed many research techniques to gain a better understanding of the “business solutions” market. Both primary and secondary 6.1 contd..

Primary data are obtained through the use of phone and mail surveys as well as seminars and focus groups. Phone surveys have been used to define customer needs better and to direct products to the customers better. Mail surveys have been used to study customer purchasing habits as well as future purchasing plans. Seminars are held to gain feedback on the long-term production plans at DEC. Finally, focus groups are used to determine whether the chosen strategy is good and one that will effectively manage and use the market’s potential. Without CMS and marketing research, DEC would be facing the unknowns of their technology as well as the market. This combination of obstacles would have made the transition from a product-focused to a market- and consumer-focused company an impossibility. RIP 6.1 Contd.

Random Digit Directory Designs Fig. 6.2 Adding a Constant to the Last Digit An integer between 1 and 9 is added to the telephone number selected from the directory. In plus-one sampling the number added to the last digit is 1. Number selected from directory: (exchange- block). Add one to the last digit to form This is the number to be included in the sample. Randomizing the r Last Digits Replace the r (r = 2, 3, or 4) last digits with an equal number of randomly selected digits. Number selected from directory: Replace the last four digits of the block with randomly selected numbers 5, 2, 8, and 6 to form

Two-Stage Procedure The first stage consists of selecting an exchange and telephone number from the directory. In the second stage, the last three digits of the selected number are replaced with a three-digit random number between 000 and 999. Cluster 1 Selected exchange: 636 Selected number: Replace the last three digits (230) with randomly selected 389 to form Repeat this process until the desired number of telephone numbers from this cluster is obtained.

Building Accord According to Personal Observation RIP 6.3 Honda Motor Co. had a lot of complaints on their sporty, restyled Accord (not big enough for U.S. drivers, not stylish enough for the Japanese drivers). Being afraid to lose its market, Honda sent teams to visit U.S. families and observe how the Americans used their Honda Accords. By personal observation, the teams found out that the Americans like lots of compartments for storing maps and change. The teams also actually took U.S. road trips in Accord and in Ford Taurus and Toyota Camry as its rivals in midsize cars. The results of this observation study were used to design a new 1998 Accord for U.S. drivers which has cubic feet for passenger space compared to cubic feet for Ford Taurus and 97.9 cubic feet for Toyota Camry. Moreover, Accord also delivered higher customer value by cutting the price. With these changes, Honda executives are expecting to increase U.S. sales to total of 1 million units by the year 2000.

Using the results of personal observation studies, Honda customizes the Accord to world markets. U.S. Accord is designed as a family car by providing extra headroom and a roomy interior to keep up with the demands of its aging baby-boomers customers, while Japanese Accord is designed as a compact, sporty car loaded with high-tech gizmos aimed at young professionals, it is also smaller to adjust to narrower roads in Japan. Honda also paid attention to its European market. The 1998 Accord for European version was a short, narrow body customized to tiny streets in Europe but not losing its stiff and sporty ride aimed at the Old World drivers..
