Operationalization is the process of defining a fuzzy concept so as to make the concept measurable in form of variables consisting of specific observations. In a wider sense it refers to the process of specifying the extension of a concept.

Survey design involves operationalizing fuzzy concepts - questionnaires and surveys are examples of operationalization.
