Description

Precise information is an essential prerequisite in order to make reasonable marketing decisions. Thus, correct information is a crucial resource for marketing managers and other business managers. The increasing demand of information makes the acquisition and analysis of information a core challenge in business practice. The European Society for Opinion and Marketing Research (ESOMAR) and the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) jointly describe market research as the ”systematic gathering and interpretation of information about individuals or organizations using the statistical and analytical methods and techniques of the applied social sciences to gain insight or support decision making.” Thus, market research can be regarded as fundamental for the provision of the required information. The focus of the course lies on the process of solving market research problems by applying different methods of analysis. An in-class tutorial will provide additional in-depth information. After attending this course, participants should be able to conduct market research themselves.

The course gives insights in the theoretical basics of market research. By pointing out the different nature of market research problems and explaining the steps of a market research process, the course aims to enable attendants to conduct market research by themselves.
