Part 1 (300 words for each part and references)

Put together a structured focus group of 3 people who have the  recent purchase of a similar big-ticket item in common (e.g., house,  vehicle, television, higher education).  

Find out how the model applies to the purchase through focus group findings.

Your focus group questions must measure how the consumers navigated the steps of the models to arrive at a purchase.  
Compile the findings in a table.  

The table should include pertinent demographic information about the participants.  
Be sure to list the structured questions used in the focus group.

Because you are engaging in research, be sure to cite your source(s) in APA format.
