In order to find an appropriate research tool to analyze customers` attitudes at the POS three survey methods are tested, evaluated, and compared against each other at the example of an attitude survey for the MyMuesli GmbH. A traditional attitude survey method is less reliable due to issues with bias compared to the other two methods. Possible reasons for bias are explained in this work. The projective technique survey, which uses indirect questions, is rather ambiguous and long, and the third method, which uses a card game for the responses, is inappropriate for detailed statistical analysis. A combination of the methods is recommended and suggestions for improvement are made throughout this work.}, language = {en} }
