PROJECT TYPES

Paragon Research & Consulting, Inc. specializes in both quantitative and qualitative pharmaceutical marketing research. Paragon’s quantitative research employs highly technical, advanced statistical methods. These methods include both modeling techniques (e.g. conjoint analysis, choice analysis, perceptual mapping, and mathematical programming models) as well as the ad hoc use of other multivariate methods (e.g. analysis of variance, regression analysis, cluster analysis, discriminant analysis, factor analysis, etc.) for higher order analyses and modeling. Paragon also has a staff of experienced qualitative moderators who are trained in focus group moderation and in-depth interviewing.

Whatever the objective or level of methodological sophistication required, Paragon has been called upon when our clients need a research partner with proven research expertise and the ability to solve challenging problems.

"War Games"

We care what our clients think about our work. After every project we send satisfaction surveys and talk to our clients about their experience with Paragon. These are some of the comments we have heard.

Ability to solve difficult problems

"I call Paragon when I have a problem I've never faced before and I'm not sure how to proceed."

Credibility

"When a project is highly visible, I rely on Paragon's expertise to influence upper management."

"Their reports are better. They think about it."

Marketing Focus

"Paragon's research seems to be more driven by the needs of our product managers than most other vendors."

Medical Sophistication

"Paragon's researchers know medicine and health systems so I don't waste time or money bringing them up the learning curve."

Methodological Sophistication

"Paragon always designs their approach to fit our problem. They aren't locked into one method."

"I can get both qualitative and quantitative research from Pragon. It's like one-stop shopping."

Experience

"Paragon's senior staff has been doing research a long time and it shows. They know how to get things done."

Quality Control

"They do deliver high quality information. I guess it's because they control all resources they need in-house."

Responsiveness

"Nobody has enough resources anymore. Paragon assigns a team of researchers to our projects so we don't pay for unneeded expertise and someone is always available to us."
