Presentation And Use Of Market Research Results:

Overview

Collecting market research is only half the job. The numbers are useless until someone turns them into a clear picture and draws the right conclusions. A well-drawn chart can reveal in seconds what a page of figures hides.

In this lesson you will learn how market research results are presented as tables, bar charts, pie charts and line graphs, and, crucially, how to read them: spotting the biggest segment, the trend over time, and what the data is telling a business to do.

Objectives

  1. Analyse market research data shown in the form of graphs, charts and diagrams; draw simple conclusions from such data

Lesson Note

Managers make decisions from data, but only if it is presented clearly and interpreted correctly. Misreading a chart leads to a wrong decision, launching a product customers do not want, or pricing it badly. In the exam you are regularly given a chart or table and asked to analyse it and draw conclusions, so this is a skill worth real marks.
