Research topics
Every driver analysis USP conducts is unique. However, there are some elements that are frequently part of our driver analysis studies.
Variable Identification
Identifying potential drivers or independent variables that might influence the outcome. These could include product features, customer service quality, pricing, brand reputation, etc.
Hypothesis Formulation
Formulating hypotheses about which variables are likely to have a significant impact on the outcome. These hypotheses guide the analysis process.
Data Analysis
Employing statistical techniques such as regression analysis, correlation analysis, factor analysis, or other multivariate analysis methods to analyze the relationships between the identified drivers and the outcome variable.
Driver Ranking
Assessing the strength and significance of each driver's impact on the outcome. This involves quantifying the effect of each driver variable on the dependent variable.
Causality Assessment
Determining the direction and causality of the relationships between drivers and the outcome. Understanding whether a variable directly causes changes in the outcome or is merely correlated is crucial.
Actionable Insights
Interpreting the results to derive actionable insights. This involves understanding which drivers have the most significant impact and devising strategies to leverage or improve these drivers to positively influence the outcome.

FAQ
-
Can USP conduct driver analysis studies for niche target groups like electrical engineers?
Yes, as a specialized market research agency specializing in the construction, installation, and home improvement market segments, we target any relevant stakeholders in these segments for your driver analysis studies.
-
What type of methodology does USP use when it comes to customer journey researches?
This depends, of course, on your wishes and the feasibility of the fieldwork. In many cases, B2B target groups in the construction and installation market segments don’t respond well to online research. Furthermore, the availability of online panels for target groups like contractors, installers, painters, and so on is very low and typically of low quality. This is why USP frequently runs B2B customer journey studies via phone to ensure representativeness and the highest quality of results. This is the case for both qualitative and quantitative studies. For B2C target groups, online research is a much more viable option.
-
Can USP run driver analysis researches in multiple countries at the same time?
Yes, one of the added values of working with USP, besides our three decades of experience in the construction, installation, and home improvement segments, is that we can run our research projects in multiple countries simultaneously, utilizing the same methodology and questionnaire (of course in native languages).
