In Indian market research industry, historically qualitative techniques are less prominently used as a measure of marketing decisions as compared to their quantitative counterparts. This is attributed to a multitude of reasons – sample sizes and representation being two of the more prominent ones. However, qualitative research is rapidly gaining popularity and relevance as the consumer turns more evolved and media literate. Thus, observational research has slowly started to gain acceptance as a reliable methodology, however, sparse its adoption may be in the current scenario. There is a little work that collates the advantages of observation and prescribes ways in which new technology can be embedded for better elicitation and actionable insight especially when it concerns the Indian market. This chapter explores the existing academic and theoretical constructs, real life experiences of industry experts and attempts to elucidate the various advantages of the observational approach, the limitations and explore possible ways the entire market research experience can be enhanced.

This paper is one of a series exploring the implications of complexity for systematic reviews and guideline development, commissioned by the WHO. The paper specifically explores the role of qualitative evidence synthesis. Qualitative evidence synthesis is the broad term for the group of methods used to undertake systematic reviews of qualitative research evidence. As an approach, qualitative evidence synthesis is increasingly recognised as having a key role to play in addressing questions relating to intervention or system complexity, and guideline development processes. This is due to the unique role qualitative research can play in establishing the relative importance of outcomes, the acceptability, fidelity and reach of interventions, their feasibility in different settings and potential consequences on equity across populations. This paper outlines the purpose of qualitative evidence synthesis, provides detail of how qualitative evidence syntheses can help establish understanding and explanation of the complexity that can occur in relation to both interventions and systems, and how qualitative evidence syntheses can contribute to evidence to decision frameworks. It provides guidance for the choice of qualitative evidence synthesis methods in the context of guideline development for complex interventions, giving ‘real life’ examples of where this has occurred. Information to support decision-making around choice qualitative evidence synthesis methods in the context of guideline development is provided. Approaches for reporting qualitative evidence syntheses are discussed alongside mechanisms for assessing confidence in the findings of a review.
