Assignment 1- Types of Market
Research
Introduction:
This assignment which is the first section of Unit 10, will describe different types of market research,
whilst explaining how different market research methods have been used to make marketing
decision within a selected situation or business. It will also explain with examples how different
market research methods are appropriate to assist different marketing situations.

Describe different types of market research {P1}
This section is going to describe different types of market research, therefore to begin with;
according to {Investopedia 2020, by Alexandra} market research is “the process of determining the
viability of a new service or product through research conducted directly with potential customers.”
As a result, nearly all modern businesses/companies tend to carry out market research and the main
reason being:

 Gathering information upon certain markets
 Monitoring performance
 Testing out business ideas
 To help create new products or campaigns

Secondly, when it comes to market research it has been divided depending on the manner that you
carry out the market research; the types of market research available are:




 Primary Research- According to {Formpl, 2020} primary research is “a type of research
design in which the researcher is directly involved in the data collection process.” This
method is mostly used when a business/foundation is trying to acquire new information
which is going to widely contribute in giving a firm an upper hand compared to others.

 Data analysis- According to {Guru99, ND} data analysis is “a process of cleaning,

investigation in which the researcher depends solely on existing data in the course of the

research.
