2027 unit information

Market research plays a critical role in supporting effective decision-making across organisations. This unit takes students from the initial planning of a research project through to data analysis and interpretation. Students will develop an understanding of how to define market problems, formulate research questions and objectives, and design appropriate research strategies, including sampling and data collection approaches. Building on these foundations, the unit introduces key qualitative and quantitative data analysis approaches. Students will gain practical experience using data analysis tools to generate meaningful insights. Emphasis is placed on translating data into actionable recommendations that reduce uncertainty and support marketing decision-making in a data-driven environment.
