Business Information Alert Written especially for marketing professionals who need to conduct research on a budget, this book is a practical, efficient guide to market research methods and practices. Based on the author's own experience as a marketing consultant, president of a small manufacturing company, and academic researcher, Cost-Effective Marketing Research emphasizes techniques that offer the quickest, least expensive way to get needed information. In addition, the author presents a wealth of material not found in other marketing research texts, including criteria regarding the use of requests for proposal (RFPs); guidelines for selecting consultants, outside agencies, and statistical software; and practical tips on presenting research findings correctly and persuasively. Organized into eight highly readable chapters, the book begins by exploring the role of research in the decision-making process. Subsequent chapters address the utility and pitfalls of using secondary data and syndicated research; how to conduct effective surveys, the proper use of depth interviews and focus group techniques; ethnography and quantitative observations of behavior; experimentation; and ways of editing, analyzing, and interpreting data. In the final chapter, Soares describes how to translate research findings into usable input for rational decisions, how to put together a top notch research report, and how to prepare for oral presentation of research findings. Finally, he addresses the critical issues of business competition and marketing research ethics.
