Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

The course seeks to introduce core concepts and techniques associated with the design and execution of marketing research projects. It focuses particularly on data collection issues and the challenges facing researchers when collecting marketing research data. Students also gain hands-on experience by conducting a marketing research project.

Assessment and permitted materials

This course is a continuing university course with an ongoing examination. The total performance assessment is based on the following partial performances:

Midterm exam 30 %
Project 25 %
Final Exam 45 %

The group project will be tackled in groups of 5-6 students (further details will be given in the Introduction session); the same grade will be awarded to all students belonging to the same group.
The exams will consist of both open-ended and multiple-choice questions and will be based on the textbooks, additional readings and material covered in the various sessions.

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

The assessment of the overall performance of the participants is determined as follows:

1 ≥ 80 %
2 ≥ 70 %
3 ≥ 60 %
4 ≥ 50 %
5 < 50 %

Students who fail must repeat the entire course (and must register in the usual way next time the course is offered). There are no opportunities for make-ups offered.

Zikmund, W.G. and Babin, B.J. (2016): Exploring Marketing Research, 11th edition, South-Western Cengage Learning. (ISBN-10 1305263529)

Reading List:
In addition to the text book, selected journal articles and/or videos may be used to further support students’ understanding of marketing research. These articles and videos will be placed on Moodle and students informed accordingly.

Reading the textbook chapters as well as the selected research papers is an essential part of the course (especially as preparation for the sessions!) and as important as attending lectures.
