Qualitative Research

At MindTake we use group discussions and individual interviews both offline and online in order to explore topics and target groups in depth, and to better understand the motivation for decisions and behaviors, as conveyed in a subject's own words, without external influence. These qualitiative methods can stand alone, but also be applied in combination with a quantitative study, for example when it comes to testing new ideas, concepts or products that are explored qualitatively and quantified after implementation.

 

Depending on the study design and target groups, we can use our online software to moderate discussion online, we can go on site at the home or office of the target person, or we can conduct the discussion in our own premises, right in the heart of Vienna.
