Why choose us

Fully in-house

For our research clients we offer a full in-house service from research design and stimulus material formulation through to field work, data entry, processing, analysis and reporting. Our staff utilise cutting edge research techniques and software packages including Access, Nvivo and electronic data collection systems using GPS and palm-top computers, downloaded over the internet for rapid analysis.

We know local conditions

Our long experience and knowledge of local conditions ensure that research projects are designed to be realistic and practical. In some cases, certain academically preferable sampling systems used in other developed countries are totally impractical in Papua New Guinea. We specify sampling systems which are suitable, practical and fool-proof in administration.

Professional standards and ethics

All our research projects are conducted to the world-class professional standards, codes and ethics formulated by ESOMAR (www.esomar.com) and the ICC (International Chamber of Commerce). APR is also fully familiar with local cultural and societal norms which it takes care to respect in conducting its research.
