Marketing Information Systemy MR is to be distinguished from MIS.
y MIS is defined as :
A structured, interacting, complex ofpersons, machines, and procedures designedto generate an orderly flow of pertinentinformation, collected from both intra andextra firm sources, for use as the basis fordecision making in specified areas ofmarketing management.
-
8/7/2019 Unit 1 chapter 1 & 2MR
16/62
ContinueyWhile MR generates information, MIS concentrates
on the storage and f low of information tomarketing managers.
y
MIS is a much wider concept than MS.y MIS has four sub systems. They are:
1. Internal Reports System
(data on sales, CF, cost, inventories, ARs, APs)
2. Marketing Intelligence System(day to day information through magazines,newspapers)

Evaluation & ControlofMRy Need for MR in any organization is found at two levels:
1. Individual projects
2. Total research activity within a firm
y Management can use certain tools to evaluate & controlresearch projects. They are as follows:
-

yCheck listIt serves as a reminder for the types of problems that arelikely to come up during the course of projects.
yFlow chartsIt enables management to maintain an overall controlover the project.
yGnatt ChartIt enables the management to develop an overallresearch schedule by allocating a time period to eachcomponent.

yAdvisoryCommitteeIt comprises representatives from allfunctions and is the most effective way of
evaluating and controlling the total MRactivity. Its main task is to give directions.
yMarketing Research Audit
yBudget ControlSome % of sales or each department decidesits budget or Ad hoc basis

Valueof Information in DecisionMaking
y Unless the information collected does not lead the
manager to change or modify his decision, theinformation has no value.
y Generally, information is most useful in cases
1.Where one is unsure of what is to bedone
2.Where huge values, say, huge profits or
losses, are involved.

3.Secondary data analysisIt includes information made available by business &govt. sources, internet and marketing research firms.
4.Qualitative researchAn unstructured, exploratory in nature, based on smallsamples intended to provide insight and understandingof the problem setting (focus groups, personal
interviews, pilot study, case studies).

Environmental context of the
problem
y The researcher should understand the clients
firm and industry.
y The researcher must analyze the followingfactors, encompassing the environmental context
of the problem:1.Past performance & forecasts
2.Resouces & Constraints

Defining the MR problemThe general rule to be followed in defining the MR
problem is that the definition should
1.Allow the researcher to obtain all the informationneeded to address the mgmt. decision problem.
2.Guide the researcher in proceeding with theproject.

ChoiceofResearch Designy Research design is a framework or blueprint
for conducting the MR project.
y it specifies the details of the proceduresnecessary so as to obtain answers to researchquestions.
y It is the specification of methods andprocedures for acquiring information needed.
-
8/7/2019 Unit 1 chapter 1 & 2MR

ComponentsofResearch Designy Design the exploratory, descriptive and/or causal
phases of the design.
y Define the information needed.y Specify the measurement &scaling procedures.
y Construct & pretest a questionnaire or an appropriateform for data collection.
y Specify the sampling process & sampling size.
y Develop a plan for data analysis.

Exploratory research designy It is conducted for the following reasons:
1. Define a problem more precisely.
2. Identify alternative course of action.3. Develop hypothesis.
4. Gain insight for developing an approach to theproblem.

Descriptive researchy The major objective of descriptive research is to
describe something-usually marketcharacteristics.
y It is conducted for the following reasons:
1.To describe the characteristics of relevantgroups.
2.To estimate the % of units in a specificpopulation exhibiting a certain behavior.
3.To determine the perception of customers.
4.To make specific predictions.

Typesofdescriptive researchCross sectional design
y It involves the collection
of information from anygiven sample of population only once.
y
It may be either single ormultiple cross sectionaldesign.
Longitudinal design
y A type of research design
involving a fixed sampleof population elementsthat is measuredrepeatedly on the samevariables.

Typesofcrosssectional designsy MultipleCS design
y
A CS design in whichthere are two or moresamples of respondents, andinformation from each
sample is obtainedonly once.
y Single CS design

Several potential sources of error can affect a researchdesign. The errors are as follows:
Total errorIt is the variation between the true mean value in thepopulation of the variable of interest and theobserved mean value obtained in the marketingresearch project.

Random sampling errory The error due to the particular sample selected being
an imperfect representation of the population of
interest.
y It can be defined as the variation between the truemean value for the sample and the true mean value
of the population.
-
8/7/2019 Unit 1 chapter 1 & 2MR
45/62
Non sampling errorsy These are errors that can be attributed to
sources other than sampling, and they can berandom or non random.
y Example :Poor questionnaire
y
It consists of 2 types of error:1. Non response error
2. Response error
-
8/7/2019 Unit 1 chapter 1 & 2MR
46/62
Non responseerrory A type of non sampling error that occurs when
some of the respondents included in the sample
do not respond.
y This error may be defined as the variationbetween the true mean value of the variable in the
original sample and the true mean value in thenet sample.

Researcher errory A type of response error made by the researcher
is called researcher error.
y Researcher error includes:
1. Surrogate information error
2. Measurement error
3. Population definition error4. Sampling frame error
5. Data analysis error
-
8/7/2019 Unit 1 chapter 1 & 2MR
49/62
Surrogateerrory Surrogate information error may be defined asthe variation between the information needed forthe research and the information sought by the
researcher.
Example: Instead of obtaining information onconsumer choice ,researcher gets it on consumerpreference
-
8/7/2019 Unit 1 chapter 1 & 2MR
50/62
Measurement errory Measurement error may be defined as the
variation between the information sought and theinformation generated by the measurementprocess employed by the researcher.
y Example: liking scale instead of satisfaction scale

8/7/2019 Unit 1 chapter 1 & 2MR
51/62
Population definition errory It may be defined as the variation between the
actual population relevant to the problem at handand the population as defined by the researcher.
-
8/7/2019 Unit 1 chapter 1 & 2MR
52/62
Sampling frameerrory It may be defined as the variation between the
population defined by the researcher and thepopulation as implied by the sampling frame used.
y Example: the telephone directory used to generate alist of no. does not accurately represent thepopulation because of unlisted, disconnected and
new no. in service.
-
8/7/2019 Unit 1 chapter 1 & 2MR
53/62
Data analysis errory It occurs when raw data is transformed into
research findings using an inappropriate
statistical procedure, resulting in incorrectinterpretation and findings.
-
8/7/2019 Unit 1 chapter 1 & 2MR
54/62
Interviewer errory Response errors can be made by the interviewer
also. This kind of error is known as interviewer
error.
y Interviewer error includes:
1. Respondent selection error2. Questioning error
3. Recording error
4. Cheating error
-
8/7/2019 Unit 1 chapter 1 & 2MR
55/62
Respondent selection errory It occurs when interviewers select respondents
other than those specified by the sampling
design.
-
8/7/2019 Unit 1 chapter 1 & 2MR
56/62
Questioning errory Errors made in asking questions of the
respondents or in not probing when moreinformation is needed are called questioningerrors.
-
8/7/2019 Unit 1 chapter 1 & 2MR
57/62
Recording errory Recording error arises due to errors in hearing ,
interpreting, and recording the answers given bythe respondents.
-
8/7/2019 Unit 1 chapter 1 & 2MR
58/62
Cheating errory Cheating error arises when the interviewerfabricates answers to a part or all of the interview.
y Example : Not asking sensitive question related torespondent debt but later fills in the answersbased on personal assessment.
-
8/7/2019 Unit 1 chapter 1 & 2MR
59/62
Respondent errory Response errors made by the respondent are
called respondent errors.
y Respondent errors includes:
1. Inability error
2. Unwillingness error

60/62
-
8/7/2019 Unit 1 chapter 1 & 2MR
61/62
Unwillingnesserrory It arises from the respondents unwillingness to
provide accurate information. Respondents may
intentionally misreport their answers because ofa desire to provide socially acceptable answers,avoid embarrassment, or please the interviewer.

y In formulating a research design, the researcher shouldminimize the total error.
y Increasing the sample size may decrease sampling error
but may increase non sampling error (Interviewererror).
y Non sampling error is likely to be more problematicthan sampling error.
