This webinar was presented by ICG member Felicia Schwartz, China Insight.
It explores the crossover between two areas Felicia is active in – cultural insights and market research. Although we often use market research to uncover cultural insight it is interesting to explore whether we shouldn’t integrate culture into the design of research from inception on. Felicia routinely comes across briefs that make assumptions or ask questions that are not culturally right for her region (greater China) or that miss cultural nuance when pulling together the analysis.
Although her examples are taken from China, the webinar allowed others to share other cultural examples so that everyone could think together about integrating cultural nuance into research projects and about how to make clients more alive to this topic.
