Key Concept Exercise
Required
The value of marketing research
In your estimation, what is an example of a large or well-known company that has an effective marketing research process in place for one or more of its products or services? Or is there a small business in your own community that comes to mind? What is it about this company that gives you the impression that its marketing campaigns are properly aligned with its goals?
It might be just as easy to identify examples of marketing research done poorly. As you read in this Week's Key Concept Overview, after all, if Coca-Cola can make such a big marketing mistake, it stands to reason that any company can.
In other words, good marketing research has value; poor (or no) marketing research has consequences. It may have been the case years ago that marketing research was largely the domain of business-to-consumer (B2C) organisations. Today, however, many different types of B2C and business-to-business (B2B) organisations and companies use marketing research, by necessity, to inform their marketing decisions, and ultimately to maximise and take advantage of marketing opportunities.
