Elaborate the steps of conducting a Marketing Research
A typical marketing research process is as follows:
Step 1: Defining the marketing research problem
Defining a problem is the first step in the research process. In many ways, research starts with a problem facing management. This problem needs to be understood, the cause diagnosed, and solutions developed.
However, most management problems are not always easy to research, so they must first be translated into research problems. Once you approach the problem from a research angle, you can find a solution. For example, “sales are not growing” is a management problem, but translated into a research problem, it becomes “why are sales not growing?” We can look at the expectations and experiences of several groups: potential customers, first-time buyers, and repeat purchasers. We can question whether the lack of sales is due to:
Poor expectations that lead to a general lack of desire to buy, or
Poor performance experience and a lack of desire to repurchase.
This, then, is the difference between a management problem and a research problem. Solving management problems focuses on actions: Do we advertise more? Do we change our advertising message? Do we change an under-performing product configuration? And if so, how?
Defining research problems, on the other hand, focus on the whys and hows, providing the insights you need to solve your management problem.
Step 2: Developing a research program: method of inquiry
The scientific method is the standard for investigation. It provides an opportunity for you to use existing knowledge as a starting point, and proceed impartially.
The scientific method includes the following steps:
Define a problem
Develop a hypothesis
Make predictions based on the hypothesis
Devise a test of the hypothesis
Conduct the test
Analyze the results
This terminology is similar to the stages in the research process. However, there are subtle differences in the way the steps are performed:
the scientific research method is objective and fact-based, using quantitative research and impartial analysis
the marketing research process can be subjective, using opinion and qualitative research, as well as personal judgment as you collect and analyze data
Step 3: Developing a research program: research method
As well as selecting a method of inquiry (objective or subjective), you must select a research method. There are two primary methodologies that can be used to answer any research question:
Experimental research: gives you the advantage of controlling extraneous variables and manipulating one or more variables that influence the process being implemented.
Non-experimental research: allows observation but not intervention – all you do is observe and report on your findings.
Step 4: Developing a research program: research design
Research design is a plan or framework for conducting marketing research and collecting data. It is defined as the specific methods and procedures you use to get the information you need.
There are three core types of marketing research designs: exploratory, descriptive, and causal. A thorough marketing research process incorporates elements of all of them.
