Synopsis
The Effective Use of Market Research looks at the circumstances in which market research is necessary, and explains what management can expect to gain from research and then analyses the type of business decisions that may be taken as a result., * Part of the new Market Research in Practice series, published in association with the Market Research Society, More and more companies today are using market research techniques, not just to find new markets, products and customers, but also to improve management and marketing decision making and to monitor customer service.

An organization that knows its customers and monitors its activity well, and also has a good understanding of the key research techniques it needs, is likely to develop more competitive sales, marketing and communications strategies.

    Although this book was not as described, with no picture of it in the listing, the seller communicated well and quickly gave me a full refund while letting me keep it. The minimal packaging left the book a bit vulnerable (typical for ThriftBooks), but it did arrive safely and timely. As usual, it’s hit or miss with this seller, but often times you can get great values, and their customer service is always very good. Many other sellers with millions of transactions don’t even communicate.
