Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

This course is particularly targeted at students of the Master's in Business Administration, who wish to take "Marketing" as a major or minor, as well as at students of the Master's in International Business Administration, who have chosen "Marketing & International Marketing" in the in-depth phase.

Participants will get to know the most common quantitative methods and analytical techniques that are used inmarketing research. They will learn how to analyze data and perform statistical analysis with SPSS. They will further learn how to evaluate and interpret quantitative analysis procedures and results that are performed by scholars and by research institutions (e.g., market research companies).

The primary objective of the course will be achieved through on-site meetings. Students will follow the lecture and complete several computer assignments under the supervision of the instructor. Lectures typically provide background knowledge in understanding the theory and logic behind quantitative methods and analytical techniques and then illustrate how to interpret quantitative methods and corre-sponding results. The computer assignments contain practical applications of quantitative methods and data analysis.

Assessment and permitted materials

Students’ performance in the course is assessed through two assignments (30% each) and a compre-hensive, final exam (40%). The exam covers all topics discussed in the lectures and illustrated and prac-ticed during the assignments.

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

In total, a minimum of 50 percent is needed to pass the course. The grading system is as follows: 0 to 49% - grade 5, 50 to 59% - grade 4, 60 to 69% - grade 3, 70 to 79% - grade 2, 80 to 100% - grade 1.

Please note: Policies regarding academic integrity must be followed. Any transgressions will be pun-ished. If issues of academic integrity arise in this course, please talk to the instructor immediately.
