Description
As a Handbook, this volume is intended to provide a down-to-earth description of what is involved in designing, carrying out and applying market research to the kinds of problems regularly and widely encountered in business and commerce (and indeed in other fields of activity). The first half of the book deals with the different aspects of designing and carrying out research. The second half describes the ways in which market research is applied to diverse types of marketing and business problems. The text of this third edition has been substantially rewritten, by practising professionals, and therefore provides the most comprehensive up-to-date coverage of the field currently available.
