The Purpose And Methods Of Market Research
Aperçu
In 1985 the largest soft drinks company in the world tested a new, sweeter formula on close to two hundred thousand people. In blind taste tests the new drink beat the old one. On that evidence Coca-Cola replaced its original recipe in April, and by July it had brought the old one back under protest from its own customers. The research was enormous, expensive and competently run. It had simply measured the wrong thing: a sip from an unmarked cup, rather than what people felt about a drink they had grown up with.
This lesson is about doing better than that. You will learn what market research is for, the difference between primary and secondary and between quantitative and qualitative, and which technique to choose for a particular business with a particular budget. You will practise pulling information out of a table, which the specification asks for by name, and you will spend real time on the objective candidates skip: the reasons research produces results that are wrong and lead a business into an expensive decision it would not otherwise have made.
