User Research
Autor Stephanie Marshen Limba Engleză Paperback – 22 feb 2022
Remarcăm de la primele pagini că această lucrare nu se mulțumește doar să descrie concepte abstracte, ci oferă protocoale clare pentru metode esențiale precum card sorting, testarea A/B sau sondajele de opinie. Într-o piață unde multe produse eșuează pentru că omit nevoile reale ale publicului, Stephanie Marsh propune un sistem riguros de înțelegere a comportamentului uman. Această a doua ediție a volumului User Research – Improve Product and Service Design and Enhance Your UX Research extinde perspectiva asupra domeniului, introducând capitole vitale despre infrastructura de cercetare și modul în care echipele pot integra eficient multiple metodologii simultan. Credem că valoarea acestui ghid rezidă în echilibrul dintre teorie și execuție: fiecare tehnică este prezentată cu avantajele și dezavantajele sale, oferind cititorului instrumentele necesare pentru a decide ce metodă se potrivește contextului său specific. Fanii volumului Understanding Your Users de Kathy Baxter vor recunoaște aceeași atenție la detaliile practice de implementare, aplicată aici într-un context modern de Research Operations. Stilul este unul aplicat, specific editurii Kogan Page, transformând cercetarea dintr-o etapă opțională într-un pilon central al strategiei de business. Merită menționat că autoarea analizează nu doar colectarea datelor, ci și procesul delicat de comunicare a rezultatelor către factorii de decizie, asigurându-se că munca de cercetare produce schimbări reale în designul serviciilor.

Descriere
Many businesses are based on creating desirable experiences, products and services for users. However, companies often fail to consider the end user - the consumer - in their planning and development processes. How can marketing practitioners effectively understand their customers and create products and services that work for them? This book has the answers.
User experience research, also known as UX research, focuses on understanding user behaviours, needs and motivations through a range of observational techniques, task analysis and other methodologies. User Research is a practical guide that shows readers how to use the vast array of user research methods available. Written by one of the UK's leading UX research professionals, readers can benefit from in-depth knowledge that explores the fundamentals of user research.
Covering all the key research methods including face-to-face user testing, card sorting, surveys, A/B testing and many more, the book gives expert insight into the nuances, advantages and disadvantages of each, while also providing guidance on how to interpret, analyze and share the data once it has been obtained. Now in its second edition, User Research provides a new chapter on research operations and infrastructure as well as new material on combining user research methodologies.
