Product Description
Marketing Research (4th edition) (WebPDF)
Author: J Wiid
Format: Digital
Marketing Research, now in its fourth edition, provides a methodical introduction to the basic concepts of marketing research.
Marketing research can be a daunting subject if not taught correctly. The mere mention of inferential statistics or statistical significance causes many students to close their minds and develop a mental block toward the topic. This is largely because most texts spend too little time teaching students the basic concepts before ploughing into the analysis of data and associated statistical formulas.
Marketing Research follows a simple layout that is easy to read with text that is written in understandable, plain English. It will equip undergraduate marketing students with the skills necessary to plan and conduct basic marketing research projects in an efficient and effective manner, in a business world that demands more and more information on which to base decisions.
