    Study Notes

    First Principles of Marketing Strategy

    • Know Your Customer: Understand customer needs and wants, segmenting the market to focus on the most valuable segments.
    • Offer Value: Provide unique and important value to customers; emphasize benefits over features.
    • Do Your Research: Gather data on customers, competitors, and market trends for informed decision-making.
    • Brand Positioning: Position the brand to stand out and resonate with the target audience; maintain consistent brand messaging.
    • Clear Messaging: Communicate persuasively and emotionally to connect with customers; tell a compelling story.
    • The 4 Ps: Product—meet customer needs; Price—reflect product value; Place—make it easy to buy; Promotion—reach and persuade customers via appropriate channels.
    • Competitive Edge: Find what differentiates your product or service from competitors, e.g., better service, lower costs, unique features.
    • Measure and Improve: Monitor marketing performance using key metrics; adjust strategies based on data and insights.

    Types of Interviews

    • Structured Interviews: Series of pre-determined questions, easy to compare responses.
      • Example: "From these five coffees, which would you try most?"
    • Unstructured Interviews: Free-flowing conversations, detailed answers; challenging to compare responses.
      • Example: "Please tell me your story with Reviva."

    Typical Mistakes in Survey Design

    • Leading Questions: Suggest specific answers.
      • Example: "Shouldn't everyone have a navigation system in their car?"
    • Loaded Questions: Include assumptions or emotional appeals.
      • Example: "If navigation systems were shown to help decrease problems, would you purchase one?"
    • Double-Barreled Questions: Combine two or more questions, making it unclear what the respondent is answering.
      • Example: "Would you consider purchasing a navigation system if it saved you time or money?"

    Independent Samples t-test

    • Purpose: Tests for significant differences between the means of two independent groups; often used in segmentation studies.
    • Assumptions: Independent groups, normally distributed data, equal variances.
    • SPSS Implementation: Reports the t-value, tests null hypothesis (no difference); rejected null indicates significant difference.
    • Advantages: Easy for comparing simple two-group issues, efficient for small sample sizes.
    • Example Scenarios: Comparing customer satisfaction scores between shops, evaluating marketing strategies.

    ANOVA

    • Purpose: Tests for significant differences among the means of three or more groups.

    Reliability, Validity, and Their Types

    • Validity: The extent to which a tool measures what it intends to measure.
      • Content Validity: The test's content should represent the construct under examination. (e.g., student satisfaction survey)
      • Construct Validity: The test measures the intended theoretical construct. (e.g., financial habits in depression scale)
      • Criterion Validity: Correlation between the test and an external criterion.
        • Concurrent Validity: measures how well the new tool compares to an existing one.
        • Predictive Validity: if scores on test accurately predict future performance.
    • Reliability: The tool's consistency and stability. Types of reliability include internal consistency, test-retest reliability, and inter-rater reliability.

    Multiple Regression Analysis

    • Definition/Purpose: Uses multiple independent variables to forecast a dependent variable, identifying which factors influence the dependent variable and their impact.
    • Steps in Conducting Multiple Regression Analysis: Choosing variables, checking for linear relationships; using ANOVA and F-statistics to confirm significance, evaluate significance of variables, measure relationship strength, interpret findings.

    Moderator and Moderation Effect

    • Moderator: A variable that modifies the strength or direction of the relationship between two other variables.
    • Moderation Effect: Happens when the relationship between two variables changes depending on the level of a moderator variable.
    • Steps to Test Moderation Effect in SPSS: Preparing data, setting up interaction term, conducting hierarchical regression (main effects, then the interaction).

    Mediator and Mediation Effect

    • Mediator: A variable that explains the mechanism through which a predictor variable impacts an outcome variable.
    • Partial Mediation: Mediator explains part of the relationship.
    • Full Mediation: Mediator fully explains the relationship.
    • Baron and Kenny's Mediation Test Steps: Estimating the total effect, direct effect, and indirect effect; if indirect effect is significant, then support for mediation.

    Cluster Analysis

    • Purpose: Categorizes cases (e.g., individuals, products) into groups based on shared characteristics.
    • Application: Ensures similar cases within groups and different cases across groups.
