ReplyDeletei found this link online http://jorthod.maneyjournals.org/cgi/content/full/30/3/245
ReplyDeletethis page basically goes through the pros and cons of using questionnaires to elicit information
Seeing as we already have our scope, customers of the store along with a method of distributing the questionnaire...more than likely in-store to the company's management team, i think we can ignore the "Define your research question and study population" and "Decide how the questionnaire will be administered " sections of the page
here's another document i found online that might help with the elicitation technique research
