| Teaching
and Research |
| Research
and teaching interest are in marketing research methods, especially
as related to the design of survey questionnaires and the careful
sampling of populations of interest. Major uses of marketing research
include new product development, measuring the effectiveness of advertising
and promotion campaigns, and measuring customer satisfaction. The
results of marketing research are strongly influenced by who is asked
and how questions are worded. New technologies such as answering machines
and the World Wide Web create new problems and opportunities for market
researchers. Professor Sudman works to develop new procedures that
take new technologies as well as new discoveries in cognitive psychology
into account. Has served as a consultant to the Physician's Payment
Review Commission; U.S. Department of Education; Urban Institute,
S.U.N.Y. Buffalo; National Opinion Research Center, UCLA; University
of California at San Francisco; University of Florida; Centers for
Disease Control; Research Triangle Institute; U.S. Bureau of the Census;
National Academy of Sciences; and the Social Science Research Council.
