1.2 Course Introduction

Careers in market research are a starting point for many marketing professionals, and can be a career in and of themselves. This course provides

students with an opportunity to learn practical skills that will create employment opportunities in marketing and in market research in particular.

Students who complete MKTG3504 will design their own research project, collect data from a sample of potential real-world consumers, complete

rigorous statistical data analysis using SPSS and present the indings using industry standard approaches to market research reporting.  Students will use ratings scale survey measurement instruments to generate data from which insights into the drivers of consumers' intentions, attitudes and

perceptions. Students will learn advanced approaches to survey design using factor analysis to select questions for inclusion in their data analysis.

Students will also learn advanced approaches to the analysis of survey data including segmentation techniques (cluster analysis) and other regression based inferential statistics.

MKTG3504 as an applied course comprises practical computer based laboratory sessions designed to develop practical skills in statistical analysis by working through practical exercises collaboratively with their peers and course staff.  Attendance and participation in classes, team work exercises

and assessment is absolutely essential to success in this course.  It is the student's responsibility to attend classes, be attentive to emailed notices and to regularly check the BlackBoard website for correct and up-to-date information regarding the course.  Relying on fellow students to pass on    information may result in incorrect information for which the University will not beheld responsible.

Course Changes in Response to Previous Student Feedback

Feedback from students on the delivery and coursework in MKTG3504 has been consistently positive.  A common request is that the nature of assessment be kept up to date with current trends in the practice and reporting of market research in industry.  To this end, the reporting requirements for the research report have been updated to relect current industry standard practice.  This entails a move away from a written report to a slideshow  style. of presenting the results of market research.

2.1 Course Aims

This course has several aims in terms of learning outcomes upon completion. First, students should be able to explain the various analytic methods used in market research and demonstrate their appropriate application in an applied setting. Second, students should be able to describe the conceptual and statistical issues related to the analysis of their own quantitative data and chosen research methods. Third, students should be able to appreciate and articulate the managerial signiicance of their indings derived from their own application of various analytic approaches to market

research problems. By satisfying these three aims, students can become effective producers and consumers of market research information.

2.2 Learning Objectives

After successfully completing this course you should be able to:

1 defi ne marketing research problems (where appropriate, drawing on client briefi ngs),

2 conceptualise and outline research approaches that are appropriate for the research problems at hand,

3 plan and execute a marketing research study or case (including design and data analysis aspects), and

4 communicate the results of a marketing research study to an audience of managers (and to a technical audience).

5 evaluate key ethical issues for marketing and research

4.2 Other Teaching and Learning Activities Information

The function of lectures

Lectures are a forum where, within an analytical framework offered by the lecturer, you can explore concepts relevant to the topic, investigate how these concepts work and relate to other concepts learned, and identify the central conceptual questions/issues raised by the material under

consideration.

The function of tutorials

Tutorials offer you an interactive forum within which to explore in more detail and greater depth the issues introduced in lectures, and to engage with tutors and your peers in exploring these issues. Tutorials are dependent upon you having prepared the material to be considered, and your readiness  to engage in lively discussion and debate.
