• Research plan development follows these steps:
– Determining Specific Information Needs
– Gathering Secondary information– Planning Primary Data Collection
Developing the Research Plan
![Page 8: Chapter5 Marketing Information Systems](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022052821/55491801b4c9055d458c423b/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
• Secondary data consist of information that already exists somewhere, having been collected for another purpose.
• Internal sources• Government publications• Periodicals and books• Commercial data• International data
Gathering Secondary information
![Page 9: Chapter5 Marketing Information Systems](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022052821/55491801b4c9055d458c423b/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
• The researcher must evaluate secondary information carefully to make certain that it is
– relevant - fits research project needs– accurate - reliably collected and
reported)– current - up-to-date enough for current
decisions– impartial – objectively collected and
reported
Gathering Secondary information

Research Approaches
Observational Research
Gathering data by observing people, actions and situations
(Exploratory)
Survey Research
Asking individuals about attitudes, preferences or
buying behaviors (Descriptive)
Experimental Research
Using groups of people to determine
cause-and-effectrelationships
(Causal)
