Interpretation is basic to all our endeavors whether as scientists or as individuals going about our business. Interpretation is distinguished from inference. Inference draws valid conclusions from given premises while interpretation is never certain as it always involves a degree of conjecture. Disputes over interpretation occur because facts are selected, ordered and weighted in accordance with some perspective. This book aims to disabuse us of the notion that interpretation plays a minimal role in daily life or in the social sciences (including marketing).
