  1. Marketing Research System • Marketing research as the systematic design, collection, analysis and reporting of data and findings relevant to a specific situation facing the company.

  2. Marketing research process • Define problem and research objective • Develop the research plan • Collect the information • Analyze the information • Present the findings • Make the decisions

  3. Defining problem and research objectives • Never define the problem too broadly or too narrowly • “Find out anything which can be done to increase the sale of Borekill” - too broad - will collect a lot of un-necessary information - high cost of conducting market research

  4. Defining problem and research objectives • “Find out if enough farmers would be willing to pay higher price for Borekill so that the company would recover the cost of promotional programs” - too narrow view of the problem - inconsistent with decision making

  5. Defining problem and research objectives • To design the research problem and objectives - “management should first spell out the decisions it might make” and then work backward

  6. Defining problem and research objectives • Promotional programs are effective in influencing the buying decisions of the farmers • Farmers are not brand loyal • Different promotional strategies are required for different categories of farmers - based on size of holding - based on their awareness about the product

  7. Defining problem and research objectives • Farmers are not price responsive/conscious in making their decision about the pesticide to use for tur crop • It is not economical to use pesticide in a crop like tur • What should be the desired promotional strategy for different categories of farmers?

  8. Developing the research plan • Develop the most effective research plan for gathering the needed information • Cost of the research plan versus the benefits out of findings of the research • One must identify the components of research plan

  9. Research plan • Decision on - data sources - research approaches - research instrument - sampling plan
