At Cairbre Consultants, we believe that research is the foundation for informed decision-making and business success. Research is a systematic inquiry that involves describing, explaining, predicting, and controlling observed phenomena. Our team of consultants utilises both inductive and deductive methods to gather valuable insights.

Inductive methods allow us to analyse observed events, while deductive methods verify these events. Qualitative research is associated with inductive approaches, whereas quantitative analysis is commonly linked with deductive methods.

Business Research

Business research is a crucial process that involves acquiring detailed information about various aspects of a business and leveraging that knowledge to maximise sales and profits. Through this study, companies can identify the most profitable products or services in demand. In essence, business research involves acquiring information and knowledge for professional and commercial purposes, enabling businesses to determine opportunities and goals.

Types and Methodologies

At Cairbre Consultants, our research in the commercial sphere forms an integral part of the business intelligence process. This research can be conducted using qualitative or quantitative research methods.

Quantitative Research Methods

Quantitative research methods focus on data that can be expressed in numerical terms. It entails a systematic empirical investigation using statistical, mathematical, or computational techniques. Some widely used quantitative research methods include:

1. Survey Research: We utilise surveys, such as online polls and questionnaires, to gather data from target audiences. This method helps us understand the market and make informed business decisions.
2. Correlational Research: Our team employs mathematical analysis to understand relationships between variables and their impact on each other.
3. Causal-Comparative Research: We use this method to deduce cause-and-effect relationships between variables and understand the effects of changes in specific parameters.
4. Experimental Research: In experimental research, we conduct controlled experiments to observe and analyse audience behaviour under certain conditions.

Online Research and Literature Research

To gather valuable information, we also utilise literature research, an economical and accessible method. With advancements in technology, online research has become more prevalent, allowing us to gather in-depth information from various sources.

Qualitative Research Methods

Qualitative research holds great importance in our business research approach. It involves obtaining data through open-ended conversational means of communication. Our team employs various qualitative research methods, such as:

1. Interviews: Through interviews, we gain detailed insights into the perspectives and opinions of our subjects.
2. Focus Groups: We conduct focus groups to understand the opinions and behaviours of selected individuals in specific target markets.
3. Ethnographic Research: While time-consuming, this method provides precise results by immersing researchers in the natural environment of their target audience.
4. Case Study Research: We analyse customer satisfaction and document challenges and solutions, allowing us to showcase our capabilities to potential clients.
