They do that even though there is no clear analog to this telephone reading in the real world—except perhaps a 10-second radio spot. This is then coupled with rating scales with typically few points (i.e., less discrimination) than would be employed in a personal interview or Web-based survey.
In the entertainment industry, as an illustration, the most popular way to test new movie ideas is to read a two-sentence concept to people over the telephone and then ask whether they would be likely to see the movie. This method is far removed from deciding to see a movie based on watching a trailer, reading a review, or seeing an ad.
In the real world the customer watches television or reads a print ad or looks at the package and digests the words, sounds, shapes, colors, whatever. Somebody hearing the concept over the telephone loses almost everything. In a personal interview the respondent can actually look at the ratings scale. She can contemplate, think about it, and decide where she wants to be.
That's why it can't possibly work. Is it any wonder that for many movie studios the decision to green-light a new movie at the next research meeting. It's derivative of a business jargon game flying around the Internet and reflective of research meetings that take place in companies every day. Frankly, in many cases marketing management doesn't know what research people are talking about.
Our mumbo-jumbo vocabulary masks real understanding of the work. Too many researchers seem to have the attitude "Isn't this a sophisticated presentation? Aren't you blown away?! Am I going to get an `A' on my paper?" Too many are frustrated academicians get involved and mess things up.
As one result, CEOs and marketing executives have found that all too often research studies are not even marginally helpful; they don't help at all. Or, worse, they might cause mischief or lead you astray big time. After all, Coca-Cola researched Surge in the 1990s and New Coke in the 1980s before introducing them. Burger King researched their new French fries extensively before introducing them. Why do executives commission research at all?
On the phone she has to remember the rating scale and give this stranger a number.
