Key Aspects of Activity
Data-based recommendations for courses of action and planning for industry and politics
In counselling the industry or politicians, PACE GmbH takes an inter-disciplinary approach.
We analyse and interpret the data relevant for decision-making and planning processes.
Tasks assigned to us range from market analyses and prognoses via providing econometric
models to evaluating customer behaviour within the scope of web mining. The results of our
work enable us to provide empirically-founded decisions and reduce risks entailed in them.
In order to guarantee high-quality data-processing, we collaborate with ZEM (Centre for Evaluation
and Methods of the Bonn University). In conjunction with the centre, we conduct CATI and web-based
surveys, in which we specialise in panel inquiries.
Research and Evaluation Projects
As our employees come from a most diverse background of disciplines and closely cooperate, PACE GmbH is equipped to handle a variety of areas. Methodical know-how at the cutting edge of science safeguards the highest quality of empirical research projects, from the development of the instruments to the presentation of the data. We attach great importance to a close collaboration with our clients, ensuring that our research remains both of high quality and client-oriented.
Planning, Monitoring and Implementation of Evaluation Studies
The term evaluation stands for the analysis of an action or a project. We choose to interpret
this rather static term dynamically instead of conclusively and incorporate elements from
financial controlling and quality management in our work. PACE GmbH relies on the inter-disciplinary
competences of its employees.
Our field of activities ranges from the financial controlling of empirical research plans to
the evaluation of governmental programmes for business development. We set out to enhance
the transparency of the chain of events within these procedures to the extent that clients
can independently organise and carry out evaluation or financial controlling at a later time.
Software and Method Development / Creation of Statistical Databanks
New developments in the IT sphere usually take substantial time to reach the market in standard packages. To ensure prompt use of the latest research results, we enter into the software and method development phase. Our solutions lead to better results in data analysis. Moreover, we possess the know-how needed to incorporate databases in statistics-relevant research.
Knowledge transfer of and training in how to collect, analyse and present data.
In order to allow our clients to independently apply the methods of data analysis, data collection and data presentation, we offer a variety of trainings. These trainings address statistical procedures and methods in general, statistical software, databases and data management as well as data presentations using appropriate Office software (WinWord, HGW, PowerPoint).
