Overview

Multi-country research fails when every market runs to its own rules. As a result, Research and Metric provides global fieldwork coordination, so recruitment, interviewing and data checks follow one plan in every market. This is multi-country research coordination built around a single standard.

For example, one project manager coordinates local teams and partners, handles translation and time zones, and reports on all markets together. This approach suits international fieldwork management and cross-cultural market research, where small differences between markets can change the results.

What global fieldwork coordination includes

  • Feasibility and costing for every market in one proposal
  • Translation and local-language checks of questionnaires and screeners
  • Harmonised quotas and definitions across markets
  • Local recruitment and interviewing through online, CATI and CAPI
  • One consolidated data file and field report

How we keep markets comparable

However, comparable results need more than translation. Global survey coordination depends on the same controls applying in every market:

  • One master questionnaire with controlled local versions
  • Shared screening and verification rules
  • Common quality checks and back-check rates
  • Daily progress reporting across all markets
  • Data harmonised before delivery

Step by step

How a multi-country study runs

Global research project management follows five clear steps.

  1. FeasibilityFirst, we confirm incidence, method and cost for every market.
  2. LocalisationNext, materials are translated, checked and approved.
  3. Launch planThen markets launch in an agreed order with soft-launch checks.
  4. FieldworkDuring fieldwork, one daily report covers every market and quota.
  5. Harmonised deliveryFinally, you receive one clean, consistent data file and field report.
