Which type of research is being conducted when a researcher conducts an experiment to answer the question will consumers purchase more of our brand if we change the package design?

The type of research that is conducted by a researcher to find out if a consumer will purchase more of a brand if the package is changed is known as Casual Research. It is also known as explanatory research. For this type of research it is important to observe variations in the variables that are assumed to cause the change in other variables and to then measure all the changes across other variables.

The business cycle is the periodic but irregular up-and-down movement in economic activity, measured by fluctuations in real gross domestic product (gdp) and other macroeconomic variables. a business cycle is typically characterized by four phases—recession, recovery, growth, and decline—that repeat themselves over time. economists note, however, that complete business cycles vary in length. the duration of business cycles can be anywhere from about two to twelve years, with most cycles averaging six years in length. some business analysts use the business cycle model and terminology to study and explain fluctuations in business inventory and other individual elements of corporate operations. but the term "business cycle" is still primarily associated with larger (industry-wide, regional, national, or even international) business trends.
