Content:

This module is designed as introductory class in marketing research. The students will learn about marketing research from a supplier’s and buyer’s point of view. In their later career, they may not be the generator of market research - but they will most certainly be a user of market research results. This class will provide the students with the requisite knowledge and skills to either conduct their own market research (primary research) or to competently evaluate the research results of others (secondary research). Content: Marketing Research Process, Secondary and Primary Data, Qualitative Data Collection, Data Collection Methods and its advantages and challenges, Measurement and Scaling, Questionnaire Design, Experiments, Fundamentals of Sampling. The students will learn the concepts, get to know the differences and learn when to apply which method. This class is offered in two groups.
