Marketing research

Making decisions without a true understanding is like walking in the dark. One way to acquire reliable and relevant information is through conducting rigorous marketing research. In this unit, you will learn a systematic and objective process for generating information to aid in making marketing decisions. You will not only learn how to formulate a marketing research problem and write a research brief from a managerial perspective, but also how to choose an appropriate research design and produce a research proposal from a researcher perspective. Finally, you will learn how to collect and analyse data, and how findings from a research report can be used to guide better managerial decisions.
