Wegmans Survey Analysis
You should use the National Insurance Case SPSS hints as a guide for how to do the relevant analyses in SPSS. For each question below, you must (1) identify an appropriate analysis, (2) run the analysis in SPSS (using the output to construct a table/figure that depicts the results in a managerially relevant and statistically accurate way), and (3) identify the key insights, indicating these clearly on the slide(s). Also be sure on the slides to provide (in brief text notes) statements that clarify what was done. Follow the example slides provided over the last few class sessions. Below I have indicated the recommended minimum number of slides for each question. Be sure not to go beyond 10 total slides (not including your title slide).
Survey Method and Sample Overview
The Wegmans survey was sent to a web panel of customers. The panel is voluntary, but for this survey they were offered a chance to win a $100 Wegmans shopping card. In general, the panel is a passionate group interested in expressing opinions to the company.
The survey was only sent to individuals that had previously purchased Greek Yogurt and were screened during the survey based on a question about purchase of Greek Yogurt. Thus, the sample is not a general sample of Wegmans customers, but instead a sample of current buyers of Greek Yogurt. Wegmans considered this the most relevant population for this survey.
Overall Research Goal
The purpose of this analysis is to understand category behaviors in the Greek Yogurt subcategory. This subcategory at the time of this survey was growing dramatically. Understanding different segments, usage situations, attribute importance, and brand perceptions is critical to determining the best approach to merchandising this growing category. Below are questions to guide you in this analysis. Ultimately, you should deliver a presentation that captures the key insights as well as the detailed analyses below.
Questions
1. Depict the portion of the sample that is female vs. male. Use an appropriate test to examine whether this portion differs from the population Wegmans wishes to generalize these results to (in the desired population, females make up 87%). Does this sample differ from the population? If it does, provide a table of the weights to use to match on this characteristic, but do not reweight the data. (1 slide)
2. Describe the average importance ratings (Q6). Provide any managerially relevant conclusions. Hint: Look carefully at the values for the variables! (1 slide)
3. Examine the free text reasons for selecting a particular brand of Greek Yogurt (Q17-‐19). Provide any managerially relevant points. You do NOT need to extensively code this text data to answer this question. Just create a wordle or similar figure and get a sense of things. Hint: Copy and Paste the 3 variable columns from the data view to Word. Then highlight all of this text (use control-‐A) and change the font to All CAPS. Open a browser to www.wordle.net and click on Create. Copy all of the All CAPS text and paste it into the provided box and click go. You can play with the layout and colors using the menus at the top of the wordle. NOTE YOU WILL NEED TO USE A SCREENSHOT TO COPY IT. (1 slide)
4. Compare the brand attribute ratings for Fage (Q24) versus Oikos (Q30) given by those who purchased a brand in the past month. Do these brands differ from one another on perceptions of (1) All natural, (2) Price, (3) Protein level, and (4) Taste? Provide any managerially relevant conclusions. Hint: Look carefully at the values for the variables! (1 slide)
5. Greek yogurt has at least two distinct usage situations-‐-‐as a snack and as an ingredient in cooking. Do people who use Greek yogurt for cooking rate higher the importance of all natural/organic/rbst free? Do they think price is more or less important? What does this suggest about this segment and possible strategies for this segment? Be sure to include any managerially relevant points. (1 slide)
Presentation layout
You should develop a presentation with the following required slides:
1) Title slide
2) 1-‐2 slides of high-‐level insights
3) 1 slide of methodology (including the survey details and a broad description of the methods you use)
4) 5-‐10 slides of detailed analyses as detailed above.
5) Appendix separator slide
6) Any appendix slides with further details. These will not be graded, but can serve as a useful archive for you.
