	Introduction to Marketing Research
		Market research and marketing research are often confused.
		"Marketing research is the function that links the consumer, customer, and public to the marketer through information - information used to identify and define marketing opportunities and problems; generate, refine, and evaluate marketing actions; monitor marketing performance; and improve understanding of marketing as a process.
		Marketing research is a huge topic area and has many processes, procedures, and terminologies that build upon the points above.

	Marketing Research
		The goal of marketing research is to provide the facts and direction that managers need to make their more important marketing decisions.
		To ensure that the true decision problem is addressed, it is useful for the researcher to outline possible scenarios of the research results and then for the decision maker to formulate plans of action under each scenario.
		Marketing research by itself does not arrive at marketing decisions, nor does it guarantee that the organization will be successful in marketing its products.

	Conducting International Marketing Research...
		Marketing research agencies were also typically national organizations, with relatively few having the capability to conduct research on a multi-country basis.
		Researchers need to be wary of interpreting results in terms of their own culture and experience, and in particular, of generalizing from experience in industrialized markets to emerging markets.
		Qualitative research provides insights and understanding of the consumption and purchase context and the underlying determinants of behavior, as well as a means of interpreting the results of quantitative research and predicting future trends.

	Online marketing research
		Marketing decisions are typically made on the basis of research conducted using direct mailings, mall intercepts, telephone interviews, focused group discussion, and the like.
		Given the complexity of marketing and merchandizing decisions in modern businesses and the limitations of space that are necessarily enforced by the paper format, we have chosen to focus on some fundamental aspects of OMR.
		A marketing variable can thus be changed between the groups, and the effect of the change can be measured directly from the difference in responses of the groups (the groups are similar to each other, with the single exception that they are exposed to a different marketing variable).

	Marketing Research
		Information might include recurring market and accounting data from market analysis and accounting activities; intelligence relevant to the future strategy of the firm; market research studies not of a recurring nature; and a broad range of data from both internal and external sources.
