Our methodology
Quantitative survey
Junior ESSEC regularly carries out quantitative studies in different ways:
- Administration of questionnaires by telephone and / or sending campaigns of e-mails,
- Administration of questionnaires in face-to-face,
- Administration of questionnaires via an online panel.
The Project Managers of Junior ESSEC are able to mobilize many investigators as well as various panelists to ensure the administration of a large volume of questionnaires in a very short time, both in France and abroad. These significant resources also allow us to administer questionnaires to very specific and difficult to reach targets.
