Year 11 Business Thursday 26th September 2013 Mr Nicholls

2 Objectives To finalise our understanding of the different stages of market research.

3 Today… Two stages to our lesson –
1). Notes relating to the stages of market research – this will be the last time we really look at it in depth so ensure you maintain your notes! 2). Exercise on data and evaluating the results of market research – again this will be one of the last times we go over this area of business – so make sure you’re clear. At the end of the session you will be reflecting on your progress so will have a chance to let me know whether there are any areas you still need to improve on.

4 Stages of Market Research…
A). Define The Problem and Research Objectives B). Develop the Research Plan C). Collect the Information D). Analyse the Information E). Present the Findings

5 Define the problem and research objectives
Too broad = lots of unnecessary information. Too narrow = further research may have to be undertaken. Objectives should be SMART – Specific Measurable Achievable Relevant Timed This means that the risk of confusion or misunderstanding is minimised, and will make it easier to evaluate findings.

6 Develop the Research Plan
What source of data to use – primary/secondary/both? What method of collection will be most appropriate? Which research instruments to use? Create Sampling Plan – who to survey? Time frame? How chosen? Number sampled? How to contact respondents? Budget and Deadline to be set.

7 Collect the information.
Likely to be the most expensive stage! Basically – go out and get the results.

8 Analyse the information.
Turn the data into meaningful information. Collate findings.

9 Present Findings This will depend on the task being undertaken, but usually the results will need to be presented to whoever commissioned the research.
