BX3181 - Applied Marketing Research

Credit points: 03
Year: 2015
Student Contribution Band: Band 3
Administered by: College of Business, Law & Governance

This subject extends the knowledge and skills gained in BX2174 Research and Decision Making for Business. Students are involved in a practical application of market research via a group/individual project which focuses on a real company situation. Based on the identified problem, students develop a research proposal, devise a research plan for collecting the information, and implement the research plan including collecting and analysing the data. The findings are interpreted and implications are derived to address the research problem. The project concludes with a professional research report and presentation. A range of projects will be sourced for this subject including those from small businesses and not-for-profit organisations.
