Marketing research provides information about the marketplace to assist in effective management decisions. It facilitates the monitoring of these decisions and the development of a keen understanding of marketing processes. This information includes the ability to track and predict the behaviour of consumers. The unit unpacks the marketing research process as it applies to the marketing functions within the business environment, providing managers with relevant data for informed decisions. The methodology of the marketing research process within this unit includes the design, gathering, quantification and appraisal of research techniques in a systematic and objective manner. An international focus is a core component of this unit. It reviews the latest online trends in marketing research, exposing students to this ever evolving global data gathering resource. From a strong theoretical basis, this unit adopts a practical and applied approach to marketing research, with students working with current, real-life marketing problems and opportunities for marketing research analysis.
