FALL/WINTER 2007
We are happy to end the year as we began it – informing you about the issues that matter in research accuracy. At a time when the word quality is on everyone's lips, what are the real differentiators of good from mediocre that could affect you and your business? The third issue of our newsletter Accuracy's Impact on Research (A*I/R) looks at quality from a variety of angles – interviews with key researchers and consultants; a look at the importance of panel relations to panelist engagement; and a new syndicated product that comprehensively measures the national Yellow Pages media universe. Take a look at what's here – and give us your feedback, for 2008 and beyond. Happy Holidays and have a great New Year!
