Moderator Guide Focus Group UC Davis, Coursera May 16, 2017: Mock, New, and Updated Cell Phone Features I. Background
I. Background:
Welcome, and thank you for coming to our focus group discussion about cell
phones today. I am Susan Berman, my independent research firm Impact
Research was hired to get your feedback about the most important attributes
that drive you to buy a new cell phone.
The company wants to find out what features they should include in this
cellphone to make it the most attractive of the newest and hottest cellphones
on the market.
We want you all to talk freely about your opinions today. Remember there are
no right or wrong answers so please share openly. We want to hear from
everybody, just not at the same time.
The consent form you signed allows us to use audio and video
segments from this group for instructional purposes only.
Since this is for a course, there may be times throughout the group where we
will need to ask you to repeat one of your comments if the videographer
missed it. We appreciate your cooperation in advance.
Please face your table-tent with your name towards me so I can see it.
As you know, I am Susan Berman, the instructor for the course on Qualitative
Research and the one who recruited you last week.
