Marketing Research: An International Approach

Marcus J. Schmidt, Copenhagen Business School

"This book is a valuable resource for business students and managers conducting and using marketing research on a global scale. Rather than focusing mostly on problem definition and data gathering as the typical marketing research text, this book places more emphasis on the transformation of secondary and primary data into managerial insights, providing an extensive coverage of qualitative and quantitative research methods. Most importantly, these state-of-the-art techniques are presented in a clear way and illustrated with concrete applications, solving international marketing problems." Wagner A Kamakura, The Fuqua School of Business, Duke University

Increasingly, businesses today are measured by what they know, rather than what they own.

Finally, a tools-oriented book that shows how international marketing managers can transform existing (secondary) and newly collected (primary) "raw" data into useful information. Schmidt and Hollensen enliven the study of marketing research in an international business context. The authors provide short examples which illustrate the different marketing techniques, as well as a large scale study (a comprehensive interview with 450 export managers), so that students can apply the techniques to real empirical data.

Geared toward specialized marketing research courses, third year undergraduates, or post-graduate students in marketing programmes, Marketing Research: An International Approach, also appeals to decision-makers and marketing managers alike.

Key features include:

• Comprehensive and detailed description of the marketing research process and advanced research techniques.
• Marketing research in an international setting.
• Online/internet surveys.
• Database marketing, including data mining and data warehousing.
