The objective of this course is to provide a fundamental understanding of marketing research methods employed by well-managed firms. The course focuses on research design, sampling, data collection, and data analysis to extract the most valuable information. Throughout the course, we examine the proper use of statistical analyses with an emphasis on the interpretation and use of results. Students work individually and in assigned teams to learn appropriate utilization of marketing research techniques to solve business problems. As experiential learning, teams will work on a capstone market research project for a client.
