Mission & Content Summary
MISSION

In today’s information economy companies have access to data about markets, products, customers, and much more. When deciding on issues such as pricing, advertising or targeting these data can be very valuable to companies if used correctly. This course provides you with the tools and methods that allow you to leverage data to help shape a marketing strategy. We focus on secondary data, i.e., data that originates from consumer behavior. Examples for secondary data are aggregate market data (e.g., car sales data), disaggregate panel data (e.g., consumer grocery shopping data) and individual level data (e.g., Clickstream data that tracks consumers behavior online). Primary data, on the other hand, are collected specially for the purpose in mind, e.g., through survey or conjoint, and are covered in the Marketing Research class.
