 * Tutorial 9 Wiki Questions:**


 * 1. According to this chapter, discuss the importance of the progression from qualitative, generative research to evaluative research as part of their design challenge as part of the Hear: Goals system process. (200 words).**

When IDEO implements a new plan or product to the third world they, like any other company want to find out how successful their efforts were. A way of find this out would be through a research method called qualitative. Qualitative methods can allow for people to express their social political, and economic concerns in their own words. The benefit of this is that it allows feedback to come straight from the people that it directly effects. Researchers are able to gain all from the people that are experiencing the effects first hand. On the other side of the spectrum there is evaluative research which comes from the company directly. Rather than the pople using the product reporting how successful they feel it is, the company itself researches how they feel the product is doing. The benefit of using qualitative research is people using the product can report on what they feel needs improvements.


 * 2. Explain why inclusivity of constituents in the Design Challenge is so important, and why the handbook states that recruiting appropriate and inspirational participants is critical, including "extremes". What is their recommended proportion for constituents? (Note that IDEO uses the word "constituents" instead of "stakeholders".) (200 words)**

The handbook states that it is important to recruit participants that are appropriate so that at least one third of the participants are crucial to the development. This way majority of your participants can easily adapt to technologies and have the type of personality that benefits the study most accurately. However it is important to have the other other extremes as part of your study. This way you have the other people, those who can not adapt to technology easily or who do not have a lot of money. Ensuring that there is participants that are both poor and in the middle of the profit margins.
