INTRODUCTION

Focus Group Discussions

  • Focus Group Discussion is used to provide information and guidance about a particular problem through the use of group dynamics.
  • Group dynamics simply means a relatively small group of interested people can, by talking among themselves and with a moderator, produce more valuable thoughts and ideas than if each participant were interviewed separately.
  • The great strength of the focus group for marketing research is its facility to allow free discussion and thought about the problem under discussion.
  • Guiding, not leading, is what makes a good moderator. But focus group findings and ideas are not projectable.
