Market Research and Marketing Research a difference.
Market Research: Involves researching specific industry’s or markets. Researching the computer industry to discover the number of competitors and their market share will be an example of market research.
Marketing Research: Marketing Research goes further. Marketing Research analyses a given marketing opportunity or problem, defines the research and data collection methods required to deal with the problem or take advantage of the opportunity, through to the implementation of the project.
In essence marketing research aims to discover the root cause for a specific problem within an organization ( eg declining sales) and put forward solutions to that problem.

‐ not too broad or narrow
2 Develop the research plan
3 Collect the information
4 Analyze the information
5 Present the findings
6 Make the decision
“An objective and scientific process”

Common Projective ExercisesTable 2.1 (excerpt)
Description
Word Associations
The researcher has a list of words, some of them to be studied and some just as “filler.” The researcher asks the respondent (s) to react, one-at-a time, to each word by stating or (in a focus group setting) writing on a pad the first word that comes to mind, and to explain the link.
SentenceCompletion
The researcher has a series of incomplete sentences that the respondent (s) needs to complete with a word or phrase.
Photo/Visual for Storytelling
The researcher creates/selects a series of photos of consumers, different brands or products, range of print ads, etc., to serve as stimuli. The respondents are asked to discuss or tell a story based on their response to a photo or some other visual stimulus.
Role Playing Is quite similar to storytelling; however, instead of telling a story, the participant (s) will be given a situation and asked to “act out” the role (s), often with regard to a product or brand, or particular selling situation.

Qualitative Collection Method Metaphor Analysis
• Based on belief that metaphors are the most basic method of thought and communication
– much of communication is nonverbal and that people do not think as much in words as they do in images
• Zaltman Metaphor Elicitation Technique (ZMET) combines collage research and metaphor analysis to bring to the surface the mental models and the major themes or constructs that drive consumer thinking and behavior.
– Respondents are asked to find pictures that describe their thoughts, feelings, and beliefs about products, companies, and brands.
– The results are then combined to see if there are common themes or constructs that consumers mention in their results

Data Collection Methods Mechanical Observational Research
• Uses mechanical or electronic device to record consumer behavior or response
– electronic traffic counters, videotape technology, and meters
• Consumers’ increased use of highly convenient technologies will create more records for marketers
– frequent shopper cards / smart cards‐freq. flyer etc…
• Audits are a type of mechanical observation which monitor sales

Data Collection Methods Experimentation
• Can be used to test the relative sales appeal of many types of variables
• An experiment is usually controlled with only some variables manipulated at a time while the others are constant
• Test markets are conducted on a single market area
• Experimentation can be conducted in laboratories or in the field

Validity and Reliability
• If a study has validity, it collects the appropriate data for the study. – Validity asks the question of whether the data is really applying to the
objectives you have set
• A study has reliability if the same questions, asked of a similar sample, produce the same findings. – Reliability tells you, the researcher, if the results would be repeated if
conducted on a similar group at the same time.
