Course Overview

Most disappointing results in quantitative and qualitative market research trace back to an audience defined too broadly. Attribution in market research is imperfect; that is not a reason to stop measuring it. They acquire practical criteria for judging when this part of marketing and commercial practice is working and when it is only appearing to. Participants test their assumptions about quantitative and qualitative market research against scenarios designed to break weak ones. Where this strand of marketing and commercial practice is measured, it improves; where it is only discussed, it drifts. Plans for market research often fail at the handover point between functions. The course covers quantitative and qualitative market research at the level of detail needed to act, and stops there. It is designed for mixed groups, so that market research is examined from more than one functional angle. The course ends by identifying what the participant will stop doing to make this aspect of marketing and commercial practice sustainable.
