More importantly, on the purpose of enhancing effectiveness of marketing decisions the data collected from the market research is processed, wrangled, analyzed, and interpreted using techniques/test (e.g., RFM analysis, control package test, factor analytics, cluster analysis, discriminant analysis and multi-dimensional scaling), data exploratory analysis, forecasting models, regression models, simulation (e.g., Monte Carlo simulations), and softwares (e.g., SPSS and Excel). Secondly, the consequential findings are the base on which student can proceed with further steps – segmenting, targeting, and positioning.
