Nature & Role of Marketing Analysis The analysis of the market is an important part of any overall evaluation or implementation of a marketing strategy. The techniques employed by analysts can be used to assess the correct marketing mix, changing market structures, support or reject hypotheses that have been proposed & forecasting or estimating market potential, to name but a few. This course looks at the differences within data, the range of data that can be encountered in marketing analysis & some of the main techniques used in the evaluation of such data. A marketing analyst makes use of a wide selection of techniques from the quantitative methods in order to explain the market, forecast elements of the market & support management & corporate decision making. The course will examine techniques from the quantitative methods which find widest use in the analysis of markets, such as hypothesis testing, which can be used to examine data & statistics from samples with a view to supporting or rejecting assumptions about the market population. Regression & correlation will be examined as techniques that can be employed to assess the existence & strength of relationships within a market & also their use as a possible forecasting tool. Finally, an introduction will be made to a range of multivariate techniques, which have found widest use in marketing analysis in the analysis of data from questionnaires. It is quite common to link the multivariate methods to enrich analyses. The section covering these methods will make use of a case study to demonstrate this. Modern approaches to analysis make wide use of questionnaires to obtain primary data & computer software to analyse data. The first section of this course will therefore introduce different types of data & the approaches to coding data for analysis.

Appreciate what is meant by an hypothesis & understand the difference between a null hypothesis & an alternative hypothesis. Undertake an hypothesis test & appreciate the importance of significance in hypothesis testing. Undertake a chi-square test on two-dimensional data (hypothesis on non- parametric data). Section 3 Understand the nature of bivariate data & straight-line relationships. Measure the strength of linear relationships between variables using coefficients of correlation & determination. Determine a least squares regression equation & line. Estimate & forecast future data values using technique of interpolation & extrapolation. Be familiar with one approach to the analysis of a time series set of data. Section 4 Explain the concept of multivariate analysis in marketing.
