Description
Aimed at post-introductory Marketing undergraduates and postgraduate students, Marketing Research is the first UK textbook to offer the advantages of presentation and format associated with a US textbook, yet still provide a comprehensive coverage of approaches, methods and applications of market research in a primarily European and international context. Unlike other textbooks which implicitly focus on client-based research, Marketing Research compares and contrasts research from both academic and client-based perspectives. This text has an innovative approach which focuses on the need for market research to be viewed on a systemic level, as an integrated creative process, composed of varying practical and theoretical approaches which can be tailored to each research project.
