“The entire text is very clearly structured and takes students very logically through the approaches, concepts, techniques and methods of analysis required for effective marketing research.”

Malcolm Kirkup, University of Birmingham Business School

“The strengths of the book lie in its extremely thorough and comprehensive coverage of techniques. For this, it is an excellent reference book. The use of numerous examples is also an excellent feature, as are the summary sections and references provided. I would not single out any particular chapter or section as especially strong: the quality is consistent throughout.”

David Bennison, Manchester Metropolitan University
