Description

Effective marketing depends on having access to accurate, reliable, up to date information about consumers and about markets. This module will explore the various types of information which may be relevant in different circumstances and the different ways in which this information can be obtained. We will look at primary data which is gathered for a specific purpose and secondary data which may already be available.
