Ethnography Research
Price On RequestThe investigation
of a culture through an in-depth study of the members of the culture;
it involves the systematic collection, description, and analysis of
data for development of theories of cultural behavior. Ethnography involves trying to understand how people live their lives.
Unlike traditional Market Researchers, who ask specific, highly practical
questions, researchers visit consumers in their homes or offices to
observe and listen in a non-direct way. Our goal is to see people s
behavior on their terms, not ours. This observational method enlightens
us about the context in which customers would use a new product and
the meaning that product might hold in their lives.
Ethnographic researchers
work in the field , within the culture they are studying and during
fieldwork, they learn how to recognize traits that make up a culture
and how to describe it to others. As a research method, ethnography
is used in many disciplines, for example, Anthropology, Political
and Social Studies, Education, and others.
