Royal Bee Electric Fishing Reel (Assignment #3)
(Due Date: May 15, 2020 at 6 pm)
Royal Barton developed an electronic reel for handicapped individuals who would like to fish. The system works on a six-volt battery; when a retrieval button is pushed, the electrical system engages two gears. Only one hand is needed to operate the system. A professional who was temporarily handicapped now uses the reel on a full-time basis.
Questions
What business research problem does Royal Barton face? What are his information needs? Outline some survey research objectives for a research project on the Royal Bee system. What type of survey—personal interview, telephone interview, or mail survey—should be selected? What sources of survey error are most likely in a study of this type? What means could be used to obtain a high response rate?
