Marketing Research: A Managerial Approach is a new textbook that explains the market research process in a way that is easy to understand.

Balanced coverage is given to both qualitative and quantitative methodologies. The textbook provides the right amount of theoretical knowledge and practical skills needed for students who plan to become marketers and will use market research agencies rather than conduct the research themselves.
