BlueLine Airways (B): Internet Sampling
Synopsis
The caselet series was used to introduce the participants/students to the concept of Sampling design and procedure. While, Caselet (A) gives scope to discuss the sampling design procedure steps and select a suitable sampling technique for BlueLine’s marketing research project, Caselet (B) gives scope to discuss internet sampling for BlueLine’s marketing research project.
Prerequisite Conceptual Understanding
The students/participants should be encouraged to read the following as it would not only broaden the context of learning but would also provide appropriate perspectives on Sampling:
- • Naresh K. Malhotra and Satyabhushan Dash, “Sampling: Design and Procedures”, Marketing Research An Applied Orientation, 6th Edition, Pearson Education, 2010 – To understand the importance of sampling and sampling design
