Mapping the Different Purposes For Integrating Offline and Online Data Sets in Discovery Oriented Consumer Research
In this paper we show how qualitative off-line and on-line data sets can be integrated for discovery oriented consumer research. After identifying five purposes for integration in multi-method research designs, we illustrate these (triangulation; complementarity; development; initiation; and expansion) with findings from a study which combined in-depth interviews with on-line ethnography (netnography). In conclusion we present a generic framework for integrating offline and online methods for marketing research.
