Description
"Dick Krueger and David L. Morgan have done the research community a great service in their writing of this kit. They have brought together the most recent thinking on focus groups and the best of present practices and applications. They are experienced in this area and know of which they write. From novice to skilled practitioner, everyone will benefit from working through six volumes. They make clear the ‘when, why, and how’ of focus groups."
"The Focus Group Kit is a non pareil work. Its straightforward, common-sense approach is represented with such eloquent language. It is a real joy to read. It was refreshing to find more than I anticipated in its pages. Dick Krueger, et al. have a talent for capturing the essence of what we all need to do to conduct outstanding focus group research. For me this kit gave new meaning to the process."
