    Executive Summary

    The following proposal is to be presented to Fosters Groups executive, management, and marketing research team in

    response to the market brief presented to Research Works.

    Fosters has presented said brief on the premise of utilising the opportunities presented by China as an emerging

    market for wine consumption. The purpose of the research is to inform Fosters strategy on how best to position its

    premium brand portfolio in China for the long term and subsequently capitalise on this growth opportunity ahead of its

    competitors.

    A number of research objectives have been identified including; the exploration of peer recommendations, identifying

    attitudes and perceptions towards Chinese, Australian and other foreign Wines, examining the preference for Aussie

    wine brands compared to Chinese and other foreign wines, identifying purchasing and consumption behaviour, and

    Identifying the product attributes that are expressed, drawing out the cultural mores.

    In order to provide a basis for the research, a conceptual framework has been presented. A hypothetico-deductive

    model has been selected to determine the relationships between the factors that Fosters has identified as critical to

    understanding the Chinese wine market. This conceptual framework has resulted in a number of research questions

    and their resulting hypotheses which will be used to frame the analysis and presentation of findings.

    The methodology of the research has been set as a two-stage approach; exploratory research and descriptive research

    methods. The first stage involves analysis of secondary data provided by Fosters Group as well as a competitor analysis.

    The descriptive research process will also involve two steps; a qualitative approach utilising a focus group format for

    data collection, and a quantitative approach using an online survey. Sampling for both of the descriptive approacheswill be undertaken by selecting respondents from the SmartClub database (a retail loyalty database program). A sample

    size of 160 has been selected for the Focus groups and 2000 for the online survey.

    Analysis of the data will be approached in a method befitting the methodology. Analysis of the focus group data will

    involve a cut and paste method to provide a basis for reporting. Initial analysis of the online survey will initially

    involve data editing followed by an in-depth analysis based on means of central tendency to in order to determine the

    sample representation. The second part of the survey will require more detailed analysis which will involve measures of

    central tendency, measures of dispersion and cross-tabulations. Several analysis techniques have been ear-marked to

    be utilised in order to gather as much information as possible including techniques such as factor analysis, cluster

    analysis, and conjoint analysis techniques. Once analysis is completed, all findings will be presented to Fosters Group.

    Reporting of the findings will be conducted throughout the research period. It is anticipated that no fewer than two

    progress reports, provided on the 1th of every month. Upon completion of the research process the final report will be

    presented two-fold. Firstly a summary report will be offered in the form of a PowerPoint presentation to Fosters

    management and the relevant business departments that are affected by the research results. The second part of the

  • 8/6/2019 Tm Ka Assignment 3

    7/37

    final report, the main report, will provide Fosters with an in-depth review of the entire research project. This report will

    include all facets of the research process, including all technical details of the methodology and data analysis.

    All costs associated with the research have been itemised and broken down into the relevant labour, expenses, and

    overheads expected to occur. $146,300 of the $150,000 budget has been allocated to said costs. Fosters has advised

    Research Works of the possibility that the research budget may be scaled back due to factors beyond their control. In

    the event that the budget is decreased Research Works has proposed that the scope of the research is halved in order

    to fit into the changed budget. A number of variable costs will therefore be scaled back to fit under a new budget where

    necessary.

    The entire project period is anticipated to run from September 24th

    , 2010 to December 10th

    , 2010. Within this time

    period, a number of milestones have been outlined to provide Fosters Group with an expected timeline of completion.

    All relevant milestones have been provided in the following report as a Gantt chart.

    The Research Problem

    Background

    Foster's Group is an Australian based global market leader in beer, wine, spirits and ciders.i

    The background for this

    research proposal is Fosters wine business.

    Challenges faced by Fosters wine business include oversupply in Australia and reduced consumer demand in its

    traditional global markets, such as the UK and USA.ii

    To address these challenges, the business has been demerged so it

    can channel its energy into expanding its Australian premium wine brand portfolio presence within emerging markets,

    primarily China.

    Supporting evidence for focusing on China includes the belief by The Australian Wine and Brandy Corporation that

    China will become Australia's biggest customer by 2015iii,

    further encouraged by a booming economy and growing

    affluent and aspirational middle class that is increasingly looking to western brands.iv

    To optimise the opportunity identified by Fosters, it is necessary to gain deeper consumer insights within the region.

    Research Works received a market research brief from the Fosters Marketing Research team on 3 September 2010 and

    the following proposal has been prepared in response.

    Purpose of study

    The purpose of this research is to inform Fosters strategy on how to best position its premium brand portfolio in China

    for the long term and subsequently capitalise on this growth opportunity ahead of its key competitors.

    Due to existing research that highlights the importance of word of mouth in this market, a core component of this study

    is to examine peer recommendations in-depth.

    Geographically, the selected region for this study is Shanghai as it shows more sales of imported wine per capita than

    other provinces.v

    The resulting data should provide robust insights into Chinese wine consumer attitudes and behaviours that will enable

    Fosters to identify its most profitable and stable market segments in order to develop corresponding competitive and

    successful marketing strategies.

    Research Objectives

    The overall objective is to examine Chinese wine consumers usage and attitudes towards wine purchase and wine

    consumption. This has been split into the following sub-objectives:

    Explore peer recommendations and brand advocacy indepth.Peer recommendations have been found to be the strongest factor influencing perceptions of wine quality among

    Chinese consumers. Drinkers largely rejected the idea of using magazines or the internet to educate themselves about

    wine, preferring to rely on the recommendations of others.vi

    Identify attitudes and perceptions towards Australian winesThis is expected to strongly correllate with peer recommendations as a result of increased exposure to family and

    friends who have visited Australia through study, business and tourism.

    Examine the preference for Australian wine brands compared to other foreign wines and Chinese wines.Explore awareness and preference of Australian wine brands and related dominant perceptions that may influence

    how they can be positively positioned or minimised to create an advantage over competitor Australian and foreign wine

    brands, as well as Chinese wine brands.

    Identify wine purchasing and consumption behaviour.Explore recency, frequency and spend on wine purchasing in correllation with purpose e.g. home consumption, gift,

    dinner party etc. Also examine the Chinese mindset where wine is more heavily linked to food consumption and drunk

    as part of a meal.

    Identify and explore the product attributes that are expressed, such as price, quality, colour, taste, packaging,drawing out the principal cultural mores.

    Determine how these attributes vary according to the purpose of the wine purchase, e.g. gift, dinner party, home

    consumption etc.

    10/37

    Research Approach

    Conceptual framework

    The research objectives put forth will provide the basis of the theoretical framework which will determine the researchhypotheses and establish the research design. A hypothetico-deductive model has been selected to determine the

    relationships between the factors that Fosters has identified as critical to understanding the Chinese wine market. The

    following table outlines the research variables, the relationships between these variables, and their effects on the

    overall objective of the proposed research.

    The independent variable: The purchase and consumption behaviour of the Chinese wine market and product

    attributes that are expressed, such as price, quality, taste, and packaging which signify the cultural mores.

    Based on the previous section, it purchase and consumption behaviours of wine consumers in China will determine

    Fosters market strategy and investment. If China is set to be Australias largest wine customer, then it is suggested that

    Chinese consumers will increase their purchase behaviours based on favourable product attributes such as price,

    quality, taste, and packaging relative to the consumption situation and cultural needs.

    Resulting Research Questions and Hypothesis

    Based on the independent variables the following research questions and resulting hypothesis have been identified

    In what cultural situations is wine consumed?

  • 8/6/2019 Tm Ka Assignment 3

    11/37

    Hypothesis: wine is consumed in a variety of cultural situations. Knowledge of such situations can benefit strategy

    development.

    Does purchase frequency/brand choice vary according to the consumption situation for which consumers arepurchasing wine?

    Hypothesis: purchase frequency/brand choice varies in correlation to the consumption situation.

    Which product attributes play a role in purchase choice in varying consumption situations?

    Hypothesis: Particular product attributes affect purchase choice, particularly in specific consumption situations.

    For example price is the key attribute considered when purchasing wine for a gift.

    Is the role of product attributes on purchase choice signified by cultural mores?Hypothesis: cultural traditions have a significant effect on the role of product attributes in purchase decisions.

    Moderator variables: peer recommendations and brand advocacy

    Based on the model constructed, it has been determined that peer recommendations and brand advocacy will have a

    strong contingenteffect on the independent variable-dependent variable relationship.

    Resulting Research Questions and Hypothesis

    Based on the moderating variables the following research questions and resulting hypothesis have been identified

    How important are peer recommendations when considering wine purchases?

    Hypothesis: peer recommendations are a significant contributing factor in considering wine purchases.

    At what stage of the purchase process do peer recommendations factor?

    Hypothesis: wine consumers actively seek peer recommendations when considering wine purchase. Peer

    recommendations are given in numerous situations outside the purchase time.

    Intervening Variable: Attitudes held toward Chinese, Australian, and other foreign wines by Chinese wine consumers

    Understanding the existing attitudes held toward Chinese, Australian, and other foreign wines will provide an

    understanding of the competitive environment within the Chinese wine industry. More specifically, the knowledge of

  • 8/6/2019 Tm Ka Assignment 3

    12/37

    existing attitudes held by Chinese consumers will provide the link between the purchase and consumption behaviours

    and the market penetration strategy.

    Resulting Research Questions and Hypothesis

    Based on the intervening variables the following research questions and resulting hypothesis have been identified:

    Are Australian wines favoured over other wine products by Chinese consumers?

    Hypothesis: Australian wines are seen favourably over other wine products by Chinese consumers.

    Which product attributes of Chinese, Australian, and other foreign wines are favoured by Chinese consumers? Dothese attributes ultimately affect the final purchase choice?

    Hypothesis: attributes of taste, packaging, and price are the product attributes of wines that result in favourableattitudes. These attributes determine the final purchase choice.

    Do Chinese consumers purchase foreign wines (including Australian) more frequently than Chinese wines?Hypothesis: Foreign wines are purchased more frequently then Chinese wines.

    The dependent variables: Market Penetration, Investment and Strategy

    Identifying the relationship between the above variables will provide Fosters group with a sound understanding of the

    market.

    Methodology approach

    Based on the research objective and subsequent sub-objectives, it has been determined that a mixed method approach

    would provide the most comprehensive understanding of the issues at hand. Using a deductive model, we will

    undertake a qualitative study followed by a quantitative survey in order to achieve a thorough understanding of the

    desired objectives of the research. The rationale behind using such an approach is based on the premise that Mixed

    methods are used to enrich understanding of an experience or issue through confirmation of conclusions, extension of

    knowledge or by initiating new ways of thinking about the subject of the research (Porte 1967).

    Research Design

    A two-stage approach is proposed using exploratory and descriptive research methods:

  • 8/6/2019 Tm Ka Assignment 3

    13/37

    Exploratory research - secondary and primary data

    Secondary data

    To provide us with more information on the marketplace, competitor activity and any apparent trends, we propose

    examining the below secondary data and meeting with Fosters Shanghai wine sales staff:

    Sales of Fosters Group wine brands in Shanghai over the past two years. Promotion and advertising campaign results over the past two years. Current advertising material. Profiles on existing target audience. Domestic and foreign competitor analysis, brand positioning, pricing, distribution and advertising.

    Qualitative data

    Given the exploratory nature of some of the objectives, we propose gathering qualitative data to identify what consumers

    believe is important to wine consumption and why. Focused research will be used to probe the following:

    Awareness and perceptions on Chinese and foreign, including Australian, wine brands. Relationship between occasion and price of wine purchased. Influence of peers on the purchasing process. Perceptions of value: price, quality, taste, colour and packaging.

    Data collection

    We propose a focus group format. This will not necessarily be a representative sample and any findings cannot

    generalised across the target audience. However it will provide the opportunity to observe group peer behaviour and gain

    insights to the relationships among the defined variables; and provide direction on the quantitative data collection.

    This format will allow any significant themes and questions to be addressed as they arise and discontinue lines of

    questioning that are not adding any value to the research objectives.

    To ensure the groups are similar within each of the age range groups, the field supervisor will first screen the candidates

    to determine who will fit within each group and avoid having friends and relatives in the same group, as this can lead to a

    biased discussion.

    To optimise the validity of results, we have included the focus group discussion brief in the appendices for approval (refer

    Appendix Two).

  • 8/6/2019 Tm Ka Assignment 3

    14/37

    Descriptive research - primary data

    Based on the exploratory research, this stage will further define who, what, when and where to segment the market.

    To provide findings that can be generalised across the target market, quantitative research will be used to measure the

    identified attitudes and behaviours. A questionnaire will be developed by Research Works and sent to Fosters for

    approval. It will include the following probes:

    Awareness and perceptions on Chinese and foreign, including Australian, wine brands. What quantities of wine do they buy and consume and when. What are they prepared to pay for foreign, including Australian, wine brands What product attributes are important: price, quality, taste, colour and packaging.

    Data collection

    We propose a two-part online survey: part one using closed questions to determine representativeness; and part two

    using the Likert rating scale to measure attitudes (refer Appendix Four). This is a cost effective way of interviewing a large

    sample in a short time. It also enables the testing of creative visuals e.g. advertisements and packaging.

    Other considerations

    Since all research material will be written from a Western perspective and translated from English to Mandarin, we

    propose the use of a cultural expert to ensure the material and research objectives align within the given Chinese cultural

    context.

    Sampling Plan

    Sampling population

    The target population will consist of mass affluents living in Shanghai who have purchased medium to high end foreign

    and/or domestic wine from a supermarket or specialist wine store three times or more in the past six months.

    The specification to include those who have spent time in Australia cannot be identified within the constraints of the wine

    consumer profile however, we propose changing the target age range from 29 to 25-49 year olds to broaden the response

    rate.

    Sampling frame

    Respondents will be selected from the SmartClub database; a Shanghai retail loyalty and database marketing program

    operated in partnership with the Shanghai Public Transportation Card (refer Appendix One).

  • 8/6/2019 Tm Ka Assignment 3

    15/37

    Sampling methodology

    Probability sampling will be applied, namely stratified simple random sampling to minimise bias. The population will be

    split into relatively homogenous, mutually exclusive age strata and then independent samples will be selected from each

    stratum. This will ensure that we achieve sufficient sampling sizes for each sub-group: 40 for qualitative and 500 for

    quantitative. It should also improve representativeness and reduce sampling error.vii

    Since each stratum will be age

    based, there is no indication on the gender split at this stage.

    Sample size

    The population number is unknown, however in view of the size and scope of this research and the need to maximise

    validity of results, we recommend the following breakdowns:

    A maximum sample size of 160 for the focus groups, four age group sets of four broken down into groups of 10.

    Group Age Focus Groups Total Sample

    1, 1a, 1b, 1c 25-30 4 402, 2a, 2b, 2c 31-35 4 40

    3, 3a, 3b, 3c 36-40 4 40

    4, 4a, 4b, 4c 40-49 4 40

    Total 16 160

    To increase the validity of results, we recommend an online survey sample size of 2000, four age group sets of 500, with a

    view to achieving a 75% response rate (1500 completed surveys):

    Group Age Total Sample

    A 25-30 500

    B 31-35 500

    C 36-40 500

    D 40-49 500

    Total 2000

    Sampling error

    It is recognised that the data collection process will introduce sampling errors, such as the selection bias, where the

    sample is not representative of the population; as well as the random variation in the results due to the random sampling.

    Non-sampling errors will also feature, for example, bias skews by having different moderators across focus groups. Also,

    respondents may introduce intentional errors by lying or unintentional errors by not understanding the questions. In light

    of these factors, the given sampling confidence level is 95% with a 5% margin of error.

    Further to the large sample sizes, we will employ quality control techniques to minimise errors, including filming focus

    groups and calling online respondents to clarify any gaps.

    Proposed Analysis

    Secondary Data analysis

    As mentioned previously, analysis of the secondary data provided by Fosters will be undertaken prior to the research

    period. The data will be analysed using simple tabulation techniques and will provide the basis for understanding the

    context of Fosters current position in the Chinese market. The results of the secondary data analysis will also be utilised

    in conjunction with primary data analysis results to provide a frame of reference and direction to the suggested actions

    to be taken by Fosters post-research.

    Qualitative Data Analysis

    Data analysis will commence upon completion of all focus groups. Focus group recordings will be transcribed in

    Mandarin and then into English, with the assistance of the cultural expert to explain local jargon/slang. A cop y of the

    transcript will be provided with the final report. The transcript will be supplemented with observational notes made by

    the group leader, supported by the video recordings in order to identify nonverbal communication, gestures,

    behavioural responses, words and the tone with which words are used that may not be reflected in the transcript

    (http://www.sagepub.com/upm-data/11007_Chapter_7.pdf).

    A cut and paste method will be undertaken to sort the data into groups to correspond with the research objectives.

    This technique will provide the basis for a summary analysis report.

    Due to the subjective nature of this technique, two analysts will sort the data. They will collaborate on the coding

    technique, but sort the information independently. These analysts will be sourced from the research management team

    to ensure a solid understanding of the research topics.

    The results of the analysis will provide a deeper insight into the themes explored in the focus groups and provide an

    opportunity to explore any new and relevant ideas.

    The analysis of the focus groups will be finished in time to present the findings at the first progress report, and with

    enough time to make adjustments to the survey where necessary.

    Quantitative Data Analysis

    Data analysis will commence after the conclusion of the online survey, determined by the successful collection of the

    desired sample. If the desired sample is not fulfilled by the 15th

    of November, the survey will be closed and analysis will

    commence, provided the response rate is significant enough to fulfill research objectives. If the response rate is not

    significant, it is essential for Fosters and Research Works to reconsider the project period (every effort will be made to

    achieve the required sample within the specified timeframe).

    Once the data is prepared, data editing will be conducted under the direction of the field supervisor. This process will

    involve identifying omissions, ambiguity, inconsistencies, lack of cooperation, and ineligibility within the data. Where

    possible, efforts will be made to re-contact the respondent in order to rectify any errors or omissions. In cases where it

    is evident that the respondent has not understood the survey, or complete lack of cooperation is evident, the said

    survey response will be discarded and recorded as a non-response.

    All questions will be coded where appropriate. Answers to open-ended questions will also be coded by having two

    analysts categorically coding the answers. The coding of open ended questions is necessary for the intended data

    analysis strategy.

    Part One

    As part one of the survey focuses on behavioural, attitudinal and classificatory questions in the form of closed, pre -

    coded questions, the analysis of this section will involve straight-forward analysis techniques. One of the goals of part

    one is to determine the sample representation, therefore the analysis will first involve frequency distributiontabulations followed by analysis that focus on measures of central tendency (mean or average, median, mode and

    percentages). These measures will provide the analysts with a sound understanding of the sample and its

    characteristics. Using these techniques will also determine whether weighting needs to be applied to underrepresented

    (or overrepresented) categories (for example, males aged 25-30).

    Part Two

    As part two of the quantitative survey is concerned with attitudes and will consist largely of questions answered using

    the Likert scale, a deeper analysis will be required. Measures of central tendency will be again utilised. As the Likert

    scale is an interval scale, the analysts will also be able to apply measures of dispersion to the analysis. These measures

    provide evidence of the spread of answers to attitude measurements (range, variance and standard deviation). These

    measurements of dispersion provide a more complete picture and therefore a greater understanding of the research

    objectives, particularly peer recommendations, attitudes and perceptions of Australian wine, and purchase and

    consumption behaviour.

  • 8/6/2019 Tm Ka Assignment 3

    18/37

    Because of the scope of the research objectives, the analysts will be advised to explore as many possibilities as the data

    set allows, defined by the research questions resulting from the formerly identified conceptual framework and their

    resulting hypotheses. This exploration will be conducted in the form of cross tabulations, with emphasis on cross

    tabulating the results of the response to questions with nominally scaled answers in part one, with the attitude

    measurement questions with nominally scaled answers found in part two. For example the analysts will explore the

    relationship between an age category and the usage situations identified for which wine is purchased using cross

    tabulations.

    Beyond cross tabulations, the analysts will undertake a number of analysis techniques to ensure the full spectrum of

    the data are explored. Such techniques will include a factor analysis which seeks to identify underlying dimensions or

    constructs in the data and to reduce the number of variables by eliminating redundancy; Cluster analysis in order to

    identify similar consumer segments so that marketing programs can be developed and tailored to each segment; And

    a conjoint analysis, particularly pertaining to analysing the results of the data related to product attributes. It is

    expected that a conjoint analysis will provide outcomes that will help Fosters understand which features and benefitsto promote to the Chinese market.

    All data analysis outputs will be recorded and the most relevant results will be provided in a summary report (to be

    explained further in the next section). However all data outputs will be provided to Fosters as part of the main report.

    Reporting, Costs and Timing

    Reporting

    In keeping with the preferences of Fosters, the research reporting process will be presented at interims to culminate in

    a summary presentation to Management and final main report.

    Upon approval of the research (anticipated as 24th

    September, 2010), the entire research project is expected to be

    concluded on the 10th

    of December, 2010. In this time the researchers will provide no less than two substantial progress

    reports. These reports will be provided on the 15th of every month within the research period, or when the researchers

    consider sufficient data has been collected to provide a thorough and pertinent progress report. The progress reports

    will be presented as a formal report with the following sections:

    Overview of research completed so far (at time of report) Overview of research being conducted at the current period as at the time of report Overview of the research to be completed in the period following the progress report. presentation of findings based on analysis of data conducted to the point of the progress report Summary of problems, limitations, opportunities, and research suggestions that have presented themselves

    during the research process to date.

    Upon completion of the research process the final report will be presented two-fold. Firstly a summary report will be

    offered in the form of a PowerPoint presentation to Fosters management and the relevant business departments that

    are affected by the research results. The summary report will review the key findings of the research in the form of

    summary tables and graphs. The summary report will also include all conclusions and recommendations made based on

    the research findings. The summary report will be designed to be user-friendly and will eliminate technical details

    from the presentation where possible. A hard copy summary report will also be provided to complement the

    PowerPoint presentation.

    The second part of the final report, the main report, will provide Fosters with an in -depth review of the entire research

    project. This report will include all facets of the research process, including all technical details of the methodology and

    data analysis.

    Cost Contingency Plan

    Fosters has advised Research Works of the possibility that the research budget may be scaled back due to factors

    beyond their control. In the event that the budget is decreased Research Works has proposed that the scope of the

    research is halved in order to fit into the changed budget. The sample size for the focus groups will be reduced to 80

    people therefore cutting costs of Interviewer fees, participant fees and food and beverage costs by half and costs of

    data entry and analysis related to the focus groups will be reduced significantly. It is expected that the recruitment

    process costs and function space hire costs will be fixed.

    The sample size for the quantitative survey can be reduced from 2000 to 1000, therefore reducing the costs of IT

    consulting, data entry and data analysis time and costs. For a sample size of 1000, Research Works will only send 2 e-

    blasts reducing the costs by $1000.

    All other expenses can also be scaled back accordingly. The cultural consultant will not be required for the same time-

    period as the current plan anticipates, therefore their fee can be reduced by $7000. Travel expenses, materials and

    incidental expenses budgets will be reduced by close to half if necessary.

    Timing

    The following gantt chart outlines the expect timing of the research project period including all pertinent milestones.

    The entire project period is anticipated to run from September 24th

    , 2010 to December 10th

    , 2010. The following table

    outlines the milestones required to complete the project. Each milestone is measured by its expected date of task

    completion.

    Appendix One: Qualitative and quantitative research sampling frame

    Research respondents will be selected from the SmartClub database of over 3 million members and can be segmented by

    demographic, geographic, purchase behaviour and online community activity profile.

    The Hong Kong-based company encourages consumers to register all their payment cards. Then they get points whenever

    they pay with a registered debit or credit card, gathering consumer data from supermarkets, banks, online transactions,

    or their chip-based Shanghai Public Transportation Card. This data is then aggregated together.viii

    SmartClub offers

    marketing research services to meet our requirements, including data mining and sourcing focus group and online

    participants.

    This SmartClub data should be broken down as follows:

    -

    Shanghai based, university educated mass affluent consumers aged between 25-49 who have purchased medium to highend domestic wine at supermarkets and or specialist wine stores three times or more in the past six months.

    Appendix Two: Qualitativefocus groups

    Discussion Brief

    A discussion guide will be provided to moderators to cover with respondents. All moderators will be Chinese and use local

    language or jargon so that the interviewees can clearly understand the questions.

    Themes to be covered in focus groups:

    Relationship between when and where people consume wine. How frequently they drink wine. How much they drink per occasion. Influences of peers on the purchasing process. Relationship between occasion and price of wine purchased. Importance of wine brand image to consumers. Perceptions of value: price, quality, taste and packaging. Depth of wine knowledge: grape varieties, place of production and vintage. Awareness and thoughts on Chinese wine brands. Awareness and thoughts on foreign, including Australian, wine brands. How these perceptions influence their purchasing habits. Awareness and effectiveness of wine brand marketing communications. Role models that matter and influence behaviour for the target audience.

    Focus group interview protocol:

    Opening:

    Thank everyone for coming and give a brief overview of how the interview will occur and let the group know that you are

    working on behalf of Research Works and that the research has been commissioned by a foreign wine producer to

    understand the needs and wants of Chinese wine consumers and that it intends to use the research findings to improve

    how it meets consumer demands.

    Ensure that everyone understands that the session is being filmed and that any personal information gathered in this

    discussion will be treated with the utmost confidentiality, unless they expressly request or allow the use of their name.

    Let them know that the session duration is expected to be 1.5 hours and request their permission to begin.

    Body:

    1.

    What prompts you to buy wine? How often do you buy wine?2. How often do you drink wine? How much on average do you drink on each occasion?3. How does drinking wine, as opposed to other alcoholic beverages, make you feel?4. What wine brands can you think of? Probes: Chinese, foreign, include Australian brands.5. Describe your impressions of Chinese and foreign wines brands? Probe: Australian brands6. How do you become aware of wine brands? Probes: word of mouth, TV, internet including social networking sites

    and blogs - outdoor advertising, events, print etc.

    7. What factors influence you when you purchase wine? Probes: recommendations from friends or family? Advertising,point of sale display, sales promotion, price etc.

    8. How does the packaging of a wine matter to you? Probes: a gift, dinner party, drinking with friends at home etc.9. What would make you recommend a wine to friends or family? Probes: taste, price, packaging,

    brand image etc.

    10. How could Australian wine brands offer more appeal and value for you? Probes: taste, colour, price, packaging,brand image etc.

    11. What communication channels do you prefer when it comes to finding out more about wines?Probes: recommendations from friends or family? Advertising, point of sale display, events, online etc.

    Note: To ensure even participation, if one or two people are dominating the group, the moderator will call on others to

    participate. Another option to include everyone is to take a round table approach by going in one direction around the tabl e,

    giving each person a minute to answer the question.

    Appendix Four: Quantitative researchonline survey

    The online survey will be constructed based on the insights garnered from the focus group data. Three working days will be

    built into the timelines to allow for Fosters approval at each stage of this process.

    Following final approval, the online questionnaire will be conducted to 5 respondents. Upon completion the researcher will

    work with the cultural expert to refine and simplify or remove wording viewed as ambiguous or difficult by the respondents.

    Online questionnaire

    The online questionnaire will be broken into two parts:

    Part one

    To determine that the sample is representative, the first part of the survey will use closed questions with

    pre-coded answers.

    These questions will include behavioural, attitudinal and classification. Behavioural questions to get factual information on

    what the respondents do; attitudinal questions to find out what respondents think of something; and classificatory questions

    to group respondents to see how they differ one from another.

    The advantage to closed questions is that they are easy and straightforward to for respondents to answer and analysts to

    process: respondents do not have to spend time thinking up replies; and analysts can code the responses without risk of

    subjective judgement that might skew the results.

    Part two

    Since the study is looking to measure attitudes in order to understand the preference and behaviours of the Chinese wine

    consumer, including their preference on components such as brand image and packaging visuals, we recommend that the

    respondents be asked directly about their attitudes using the questionnaire as a self reporting technique.

  • 8/6/2019 Tm Ka Assignment 3

    33/37

    The recommended attitude rating scale is the Likert method of summated ratings where a statement is made and the

    respondents indicate their degree of agreement or disagreement on a five point scale (Strongly Disagree, Disagree, Neither

    Agree Nor Disagree, Agree, Strongly Agree).

    The equivalent weights for the answers are:

    Range Interpretation

    4.50 5.00 Strongly Agree

    3.50 4.00 Agree

    2.50 3.49 Neither agree nor disagree

    1.50 2.49 Disagree

    0.00 1.49 Strongly Disagree

    It is believed that this design will be easy to use, provide consistency and deliver accurate and complete data. It also provides

    greater anonymity to the respondent (which may assist when discussing alcohol consumption).

    Since we are targeting mass affluents in Shanghai, there is an acceptable bias of only including only those with online access.

    This also applies to associated bias of using the SmartClub database.
