Culture
Human Behaviour is largely learned. In human life, basic values, perceptions, wants and
behaviours are all learned through society.
Subcultures are groups with shared value systems based on common life experience and
situations, usually including nationalities, religions, racial and geographic regions. Many
subcultures make up market segments.
Social Classes are society’s relatively permanent and ordered divisions whose members
share similar values, interests and behaviours. People within a given social class tend to
exhibit similar buying behaviour.

Social
Groups that have a direct influence and to which people belong to are called membership
groups. Reference groups are direct or indirect points of comparison or reference in forming
a person’s attitudes or behaviour.

3. Marketing Research
Marketing research Process
Stage 1 - Defining the Problem
- What is the problem, - (how can it be translated
into research objectives?)
- Exploratory research often helps here.

, - e.g. fall in profit
o Sales?
o Competitors’ offering?

Stage 2 - Research Objectives
- Research brief needs to be clearly and concisely
stated in writing to ensure that the research brief is
adequately prepared
- e.g. Why are people buying less of our product?

Stage 3 - Planning the Research
Research Brief
- description of product / market
- time / finance
- report requirements
- Issued by the company wanting the research
undertaken
Research Plan
- ensures data generated will enable management
decision making
- Issued by the research company who will undertake
the research

Stage 4 - Data Collection

- data previously collected/assembled for some
purpose other than the project at hand.
Primary (field ) Research
- data gathered and assembled specifically for the
project at hand.
