This study aims to construct external marketing indicators for private children education institutes, including two-stage research design.
The first stage of research method is interview method.
After the semi-structured interviews of the three practical operators, the prototypes of this indicators were drafted. The second stage adopted the traditional Delphi method and invited three experts to conduct the content validity check of the indicators to prepare the Delphi questionnaires.
