An Omani corporation wanted to carry out ethnographic research on energy topics with a diverse range of target groups, including petrol station customers, independent retailers, commercial fleet procurement and operations managers, energy managers for large commercial buildings. The sample included both Omanis and ex-pats.
We recruited almost 50 respondents in total for three phases of research, and provided on-the-ground support including transport and interpreters for the interviews which took place in Arabic. Some of the initial interviews took place at the respondents’ places of work while others took place at a central location in Muscat that was booked by FieldworkHub. In the latter stages we conducted a mix of online interviews and in-home interviews.
You and your team did an EXCELLENT job! This was not an easy recruit and you met all the quotas, found participants who were fully qualified (and verified), and everything went super smoothly on the interview days. I appreciated how organized and methodical you were throughout this process, and how responsive and detailed your communications were.
I want to express my appreciation for the team’s effort on this project. Wanessa, especially, went above and beyond in the past week in communicating with both our team and the researchers on the ground.
