Quantitative research and qualitative research have their own advantages, enterprises should choose the most appropriate method or combination of the two according to the objectives and resources.

In the implementation phase, Champ Consulting used questionnaires and focus group discussions to collect a large amount of first-hand data. In the analysis phase, we used techniques such as statistical analysis and content analysis to dig deeper into the information behind the data and form a detailed research report.
