Idea Generation
An organized approach for brainstorming with Nelson Research and our Creative Development partner, CenterBrain, Inc.

Developmental Approach to Reveal New Product Positioning Opportunities
This is a practical, direct approach for strategy development.  The methodology is deceptively simple.  There are very few measures.  But the analyses are elegant and provide considerable added value.  This methodology has a qualitative phase with our Creative Development Partner, CenterBrain, Inc.

Estimating and Understanding Volume Opportunities
If your STM's raise more questions than they answer, maybe you should be budgeting for our intense analyses rather than a report card by a "name" company.

Statistical Modules
This paper includes a summary of a useful (and underused) test design known as the Latin Square;  how to use the components of multiple regression to enhance the diagnostics of your analyses; and a plain and simple explanation of multiple regression.

An Enriched Approach for Analyzing Employee Studies
A "masked report" illustrates the scope of analyses.

The Use and Abuse of Marketing Research
This is a speech given by Ron Nelson at an ANA conference several years ago in which he shares the abuses to research witnessed over the years.  Some of our clients have told us that the knoweldge of the abuses mentioned in his speech have proven to be of use in convincing the "marketing folks" to "take a researcher to lunch"!
