Description

This course begins with a discussion of the various buying behaviour theories. The buying behaviour of consumers, private and public companies and that of trade are analysed. This is followed by a presentation of how, in market research, data can be collected and processed in primary and secondary ways. Here, emphasis is placed on bivariate and multivariate data analysis methods. The final part of the course shows how forecasts can be made, which have a particular relevance for marketing. Aside from development forecasts, market response forecasts are also considered. The wide spectrum of forecasting methods is presented and examined with respect to its applicability to marketing-specific questions.
