9 concrete impacts of COVID19 on the future of the food retail sector

This is what I suggest we explore in this article. This analysis is part of...

The impact of coronavirus on qualitative market research methods

The coronavirus crisis affects us all, regardless of the industry. The market research industry is no exception. The conduct of qualitative market research, in particular, has been impacted, since qualitative interviews or focus groups can now only be conducted remotely.

But are remote qualitative interviews still as effective? How is communication affected by distance? A publication by...
