Market Research

  • Identifying Influencers: Market research can identify individuals influencing purchasing decisions.
  • New Product Introduction: Research focuses on demand and sales to determine how to introduce a new product.
  • Market Development Strategies: Descriptive studies are helpful in market development growth strategies.
  • Research Progress Tracking: Advisory committees qualitatively monitor and analyze research progress.
  • Marketing Information Flow: Marketing information flows informally and unstructured, providing marketing managers with insights.
  • Order to Payment Cycle Data: Reports from order-to-payment cycles contribute to marketing information flow.
  • Predicting Consumer Behavior: Demographic and psychological variables alone cannot predict consumer behavior.
  • B2B Customer Insights: Mixed qualitative/quantitative analysis helps predict client openness to new B2B products/services.
  • Primary Data Collection Methods: These are classified as static or dynamic based on information nature.
  • Qualitative Methods Application: Understanding consumer terminology and behavior is a key application of qualitative methods.
  • Nominal Scale: Organizes objects based on ordered magnitude.
  • Ranking Scales Limitations: Interpretation challenges arise with negative consumer perceptions of a product/concept.
  • Parameter vs. Statistic: A parameter is a population value calculated with a sample.
  • Sample Variability: Larger samples have reduced random error, or variability.
  • Multivariate Analysis Goals: Unveiling latent structures is a goal of multivariate analysis.
  • Contingency Tables: Represent joint distribution of two variables.
  • Segmentation Criteria: Easily identifiable and measurable criteria are essential for segmentation.
  • Segmentation Criteria Examples: Buying intention is both a general and specific segmentation criterion.
  • Report Presentation: A formal written report and oral presentation are common methods of conveying market research findings to management.
