A Typology of Health Marketing Research Methods–Combining Public Relations Methods with Organizational Concern

SUMMARY Research plays a critical role throughout virtually every conduit of the health services industry. The key terms of research, public relations, and organizational interests are discussed. Combining public relations as a strategic methodology with the organizational concern as a factor, a typology of four different research methods emerges.
