Therefore, it is essential to understand the full cycle of brand management research in order to be a remarkable researcher. This begins with a deep understanding of the concepts of reliability and validity.

“…reliability tests how consistently a measuring instrument measures a particular concept. Validity tests how well an instrument measures the particular concept it is supposed to measure.”

On the tenets of reliability and validity, building a research framework which captures the heart of the strategic intent is paramount in brand strategy formulation. Leading academics and experts in the field invariably say that a structured research framework is best-practice in research administration.  Pinsonneault and Kraemer of the University of California Irvine, on research methodology state that the three key elements in a research framework used to assess the quality of survey research include:

“(a) research design, (b) sampling procedures, and (c) data collection methods.  These elements, and their related dimensions, constitute the framework used to assess survey research methodology.”
