SELT Survey Results

The Marketing Research course introduces students to the realm of marketing intelligence and the significance of data to marketers and to companies as an important foundation for planning marketing activities towards the creation of value for the firm. The course provides a comprehensive approach to contemporary marketing research principles and practices towards gathering, acquiring, appraising and applying evidence for decision making. The course covers recent online marketing research trends and developments in the area of relationship and experiential marketing, and their impacts on the quality of evidence and on marketing research applications. Its principal aim is to provide students with research and managerial knowledge, tools and skills for identifying, tackling, judging and using evidence to solve marketing problems in business.

Learning Outcomes

Upon successful completion, students will have the knowledge and skills to:

  1. Identify marketing problem(s) to assist in decision-making;
  2. Choose the methodologies to acquire evidence in an ethical manner to address the marketing problem;
  3. Retrieve primary and secondary data to solve the marketing problem;
  4. Establish the methodological quality, reliability and validity of the data collected;
  5. Integrate all types of relevant evidence towards finding solutions to the marketing problem;
  6. Find solutions to the marketing problem based on the integrated relevant evidence; and
  7. Produce an evidence-based marketing report to maximise the likelihood of effective implementation of solutions.

Research-Led Teaching

Research-led and practice-based teaching: This course provides students with a unique opportunity to apply theoretical and methodological skills in real-world research practice, using the latest tools and methods in social sciences, especially in marketing.

Research-based assessment: 

Practical (industry-related): Students will work in groups of 4-5 on a marketing project for an industry client. Groups and clients are selected by students on a first-come, first-served basis. The project involves addressing a real marketing problem faced by a company, requiring groups to use theoretical knowledge and research techniques taught in the course to collect qualitative and quantitative data. The aim is to provide evidence-based solutions for the clients. This industry-related project embodies the Work Integrated Learning component, emphasising a ‘student-centered’ and ‘learning by doing’ approach. Student engagement with research is facilitated through: 

  • A comprehensive introduction to research through a problem-based approach.
  • A research process to explain various methods through in-class tutorial activities and a marketing research proposal.
  • Independent and team-based action research using core marketing research concepts, theories, and data collection and analysis skills to write up the research report.

Field Trips

There are no field trips.

Additional Course Costs

There are no additional class costs.

Examination Material or equipment

Details will be communicated to students on Wattle at least 2 weeks prior to the final examination.

Policies

ANU has educational policies, procedures and guidelines, which are designed to ensure that staff and students are aware of the University’s academic standards, and implement them. Students are expected to have read the Academic Misconduct Rule before the commencement of their course. Other key policies and guidelines include:

Assessment Requirements

The ANU is using Turnitin to enhance student citation and referencing techniques, and to assess assignment submissions as a component of the University's approach to managing Academic Integrity. For additional information regarding Turnitin please visit the ANU Online website Students may choose not to submit assessment items through Turnitin. In this instance you will be required to submit, alongside the assessment item itself, hard copies of all references included in the assessment item.

Moderation of Assessment

Marks that are allocated during Semester are to be considered provisional until formalised by the College examiners meeting at the end of each Semester. If appropriate, some moderation of marks might be applied prior to final results being released.

Participation

This course will be delivered using a flipped classroom model.

  • Lectures (1.5 hrs) will be pre-recorded, and available through Wattle. The pre-recorded lectures are required to be watched prior to your tutorial activity.
