Examples of External Research in the following topics:
-
- Internal research refers to a consumer's memory or recollection of a product, oftentimes triggered or guided by personal experience.
- External research is conducted when a person has no prior knowledge about a product, which then leads them to seek information from personal sources (e.g. word of mouth from friends/family ) and/or public sources (e.g. online forums, consumer reports) or marketer dominated sources (e.g. sales persons, advertising) especially when a person's previous experience is limited or deemed inefficient.
-
- Data analysis in sociological research aims to identify meaningful sociological patterns.
- When analyzing data and drawing conclusions, researchers look for patterns.
- Of course, before researchers can code raw data such as taped interviews, they need to have a clear research question.
- Internal validity is an inductive estimate of the degree to which conclusions about causal relationships can be made (e.g., cause and effect), based on the measures used, the research setting, and the whole research design.
- External validity concerns the extent to which the (internally valid) results of a study can be held to be true for other cases, such as to different people, places, or times.
-
- Technology and Information: The study of health care, and the research involved in generating new solutions, has dramatically increased the knowledge and technological capacity of society in general.
- This has affected other industries, as research and development in health care affects the technological efficacy in other markets.
-
- The stakeholder concept was first used in a 1963 internal memorandum at the Stanford Research Institute.
- External stakeholders are entities not within a business itself but who care about or are affected by its performance (e.g., consumers, regulators, investors, suppliers).
-
-
- External motives include work environment (e.g., cramped cubicle vs. airy, open office); internal motivations include thoughts and emotions (e.g., boredom with performing the same task over and over vs. excitement at being given a wide variety of project types).
-
- Gathering customer feedback is so important that companies may outsource the job to market research companies.
-
- It is also important to conduct competitive research to determine who else in the market is performing the same processes.
- If the performance measurement is for a new initiative, management should conduct research to determine if there is an industry standard already in place for the process.
- If this is a new technology or research area, however, then results should be compared with financial objectives or quality standards instituted by the organization.
- Overall industry metrics and averages are also available, though for specific applications of research the organization may want to hire or contract analysts for external data collection.
- Employ benchmarks and extensive research initiatives to effectively derive standards and expected results in the control process
-
- External balance occurs when exports roughly equal imports over the long run.
- On the national level, macroeconomists hope that their models help address two key areas of research:
-
- External factors, such as climate and the parent material that forms the soil, control the overall structure of an ecosystem and the way things work within it, but are not themselves influenced by the ecosystem.
- Although they identified the virus as the cause of the disease, researchers did not understand how it was transmitted.
- The researchers trapped and examined rodents that lived in and around the homes of the victims, and found that almost 30% of the deer mice were infected with the Sin Nombre hantavirus.
- As part of the effort to locate the source of the virus, researchers located and examined stored samples of lung tissue from people who had died of unexplained lung disease.
