Book Description

December 11, 2006 1592602886 978-1592602889 3
We are confident that the new edition of Marketing Research: An Aid to Decision Making will dramatically improve students' knowledge of marketing research because practitioners, academicians, and past users of the text recommended many of the changes and new topics that we incorporated into this edition. The fact is, there have been numerous changes in the research industry and global marketplace that warrant special attention. When you consider how research organizations are consolidating, economies are growing worldwide, and competition is intensifying, there is a resounding plea for improved knowledge by decision-makers.

Editorial Reviews

Review

Covers the essentials of marketing research, with solid illustrations.

The Qualitative Research chapter is excellent, the best I've seen.

What I especially like about this text are the learning objectives at the beginning of each chapter.

Text is well written and easy to read. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

5.0 out of 5 stars GREAT BOOK !, February 19, 2001
By 
A. Ercan Gegez (Istanbul, TURKEY) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
That's one of the best books on marketing research with a simple approach. Subtitle reads "An aid to decision making". But not only to decision making but also to everybody who wants a quick understanding of marketing research. The only thing to say the writer is "thank you" as it has such a simple but powerful approach to marketing research. I am teaching marketing for 10 years and this is one of the simplest book I have ever seen on this mattter. Some special chapters on reliability and validity and internet are unique features of this book. You can be a marketing research instructer or a marketing research student, if you want to know marketing research, just get this book !
