The Strategy of Desire (Classics in Communication and Mass Culture Series) is typical of the research trail that Gordon has explored back to the very roots of so-called 'qualitative' consumer research. Emergency reading for 'quants' in this field.
At One Big Idea Consulting Limited NZ., Gordon's historical overview is a key part of the Education & Training modules in every client's first 100-Day Action Project.
Professor Gordon's first book Qualitative Market Research: A Practitioner's and Buyer's Guide is also highly recommended for its forthright guidance for buyers of consumer research.
Not so easy itself to find, but worth paying the high price for a 'good' copy from an Amazon Used Seller. One incisive insight from Gordon will soon pay-off the book cost plus its S&H.
