An Experiment:
The researcher changes an explanatory, independent, or experimental variable to observe changes in the dependent variable.
To understand the nature of experiments.What is an Experiment?
Dependent variable
Experimental variable
total salesmarketing mix

Learning ObjectivesLearning Objectives
Concomitant Variation:
A predictable statistical relationship between two variables
Appropriate Time Order of Occurrence:
A change in an independent variable must occur before a change in the dependent variable
Elimination of Other Possible Causal Factors
The change in B was not caused by some factor other than A
Demonstrating Causation To understand the nature of experiments.

Learning ObjectivesLearning Objectives
Laboratory experiments:
Conducted in a controlled setting.
Advantages of laboratory experiments:
•Ability to control all variables
•Greater internal validity
Disadvantages of laboratory experiments:
•External validity
Field experiments:
Tests conducted outside the laboratory
The Experimental Setting:Laboratory or Field
To learn about the experimental setting.

Learning ObjectivesLearning Objectives
Internal and External Validity
Internal Validity:
The extent to which competing explanations can be ruled out.
External Validity:
The extent to which causal relationships can be generalized to outside persons, settings, and times.
Experimental Notation:
X indicates exposure
O for observation
O1 X O2 for time periods
To examine experimental validity.Experimental Validity

Experimental Design and Treatment
Experimental Design:
Researcher has control of variables and manipulates them.
1. Treatment
2. Subjects
3. Dependent variable
4. Plan for extraneous causal factors

Why Experiments Are Not Used More Often
• The High Cost of Experiments
• Security Issues
• exposing to the actual marketplace
• competitors
• Implementation Problems
• cooperation
• contamination
• differences: test market/population
• lack of control group
