13. Methodology
ELECTRONIC RESEARCH APPROACH AND METHODOLOGY
We compile and analyze relevant market and technology application information from a broad range of information
sources that are known to be applicable for the task objectives. These sources include numerous market research and
industry specific databases accessible through paid commercial gateways, or "portals" as well as some that are
accessible through the Internet and custom crafted research methods. The specific sources include databases developed
by over a dozen respected global market research firms (for example, Nielsen, MEMRB, TNS, United Consultants &
Researchers-UCR, etc.) in addition to numerous trade-industry-and technology specific sources. For this task, TMS
expects to compile pertinent information extracts from published and unpublished reports for subsequent analysis.
Summary: we develop search strategies that yield general market information and specific data elements relative to the
Saudi Arabian marketplace. Filtering and organizing the obtained information in a manner consistent with its end use.
Reconciling the differences in related data elements from the different sources. Analyzing the resulting information
relative to the study objective. Presenting the resulting analytical output in a concise manner that is most informative to
the client and potential investors.
