"This book about the qualitative research method. Generally, the marketing researcher easily thought that thier misunderstanding for thier customer originated from the lack of knowledge for research or the error of that. However, the basic reason of their mistake is from the fact that Customers can't know exactly what they really want.
In other words, the author said that the customer behavior contains 95% of subliminary perception behavior and 5%of perceived perception behavior. Therefore, even though we succefuly conduct our research process, that means just 5% of customer's buying hehavior and it is hard to understand customer's real mind because of this reason.
Therfore, the author presents a ZMET method (Zaltman Methaphor Elicitation Technique) for understing customer mind is. The most impressive sentence below implicate the whole of his mind about the customer behavior research.
"What happen is facts, not true, Truth is what we think about what happens.""
