Marketing Research: Process and Systems
for Decision Making
It is vital for investigating the effects of various marketing strategies after they have been
implemented.
Today, many marketing researchers work hand-in-hand with marketing managers
throughout the research process and have responsibility for making strategic
recommendations based on the research.
Marketing research can be viewed as the systematic process for obtaining information
to aid in decision-making.
There are many types of marketing research.
The five Ps of the research process are (Figure 2.1):
o Purpose of the research
o Plan of the research
o Performance of the research o
Processing of research data o
Preparation of research report
The first step in the research process is to determine explicitly why the research
is needed and what it is to accomplish.
Quite often a situation or problem is recognized as needing research, yet the nature of the
problem is not clear or well defined nor is the appropriate type of research evident.
Managers and researchers need to discuss and clarify the current situation and
develop a clear understanding of the problem.
Managers and researchers should agree on:
o The current situation involving the problem to be researched
o The nature of the problem
o The specific question or questions the research is designed to investigate
This step is crucial since it influences the type of research to be conducted and
the research design.
A research plan spells out the nature of the research to be conducted and includes an
explanation of such things as the sample design, measures, and analysis techniques
to be used.
Three critical issues influence the research plan are:
o Whether primary or secondary data are needed

Primary data are the data collected specifically for the research problem
under investigation.
Secondary data are the data that have previously been collected for other purposes
but can be used for the problem at hand.
Secondary information has the advantage of usually being cheaper than primary
data, although it is not always available for strategy- specific research questions.
There are many types of secondary data that could be useful for understanding a
market and for answering a particular research question.
Some of these data can be found from sources internal to the organization such
as sales invoices, quarterly sales reports, and marketing research done by the
organization.
Other secondary data must be obtained from sources external to the organization
and include information such as syndicated data providers and by the
government, such as U.S. census data.
Figure 2.2 lists the common types of information that is available in a secondary
data research.

Having now concluded our inquiry into the origin, the nature, and the
evolution of Greek systems of blood-vengeance, it may be desirable to
give here a brief synoptic summary of the theories which we have sought
to establish. Our summary naturally falls into two sections: (A)
chronological and (B) literary.
(A) (1) From the earliest times there existed in Greece a code of
homicide-customs which is a well-known characteristic of the tribal or
‘group’ system of primitive human society; wergeld was the dominant
penalty, and exile or death, or, possibly, servitude were alternative
penalties; there was regular trial and collective control. We may call the
system ‘private vengeance,’ but it was fundamentally different from
‘vendetta.’ This system has left only very slight traces of its existence in
extant Greek literary or inscriptional remains: while it persisted in a
suppressed or modified form all through the course of ancient Greek
history, its presence was obscured by other developments, social,
religious, and political.
(2) Thus there was, in the first place, the Achaean domination (say,
1300-1100 . .) which is the dominant atmosphere of the Homeric
poems; we have seen that the Achaean system in regard to homicide
made death the normal penalty, but that this penalty could be avoided in
practice, though not in theory, by the flight of the slayer. There was no
regular or prescribed trial, but there existed a kind of social etiquette or a
potential military discipline which established a general distinction
between murder and vengeance, and which, while omitting any nice
points of discrimination in estimating the degrees of guilt, nevertheless
prevented any wholesale system of vendetta.
(3) When in the ‘Hesiodic’ age (1000-750 . .) various migrations and
economic changes disturbed the peaceful operation of clan-laws, and no
form of control, either tribal or military, could be said to exist in the
greater part of Greece (excluding, perhaps, the Attic State), then arose, as
we think, in its full vigour the barbarous vendetta system which has left
so marked a trace in Greek legends: then rose to prominence the belief in
ancestral curses, which were held to fall upon children even in the fourth
generation. Then came into being the blood-thirst of the dead, the
mutilation of the murdered corpse, the deprivation of burial—all the
barbarisms of collective hereditary vendetta.
(4) Into this state of chaos there came, as it were, by the foresight of
the gods, in the seventh century, the ‘Apolline’ religious code. The
murderer now becomes god-hated: he is shunned by society: all men
must rise in horror against him, and if he is guilty they must either slay
him or banish him for ever. Courts must operate, for murder, if for
nothing else. The right of suppliants must be respected at least till guilt is
proved. Wergeld is abolished, but a minor appeasement of the relatives is
permitted after exile, for minor degrees of guilt.
(5) Almost contemporaneously came the evolution of the synoekised
Greek State. A compromise between the old and the new ideas produced
the laws of Dracon and the historical murder-codes of Greece. The State
now takes over the execution, as well as the trial of homicides. The
avenger of blood gives place to the Public Executioner. Parricide and
kin-slaying are punishable with death. The property of wilful murderers
is confiscated to the State. Courts which at first have general jurisdiction
specialise in certain kinds of homicide, and their specialised functions
are stereotyped in law. The personnel of these courts undergoes
modifications which keep pace, in the main, with the advance of
democracy to complete political power.
(B) (1) We have seen that the homicide references in Homer can only
be properly understood by assuming a predominance, in legend or in the
atmosphere of the poet, of the Achaean system of vengeance, and the
existence of faint but unmistakable echoes of the Pelasgian wergeld
system.
(2) Of the Hesiodic period the poems of Hesiod are the only authentic
evidence, and such evidence is obscure. We may however supplement it
indirectly by arguments from survivals, and by the argument of
‘elimination.’
(3) Of the Apolline or historical system we need not review the
evidence which has been given at length in our Second Book. This
evidence has been examined and interpreted by many modern scholars.
We have indicated what we considered the most probable interpretation
of matters which were open to doubt, especially when the solution of the
problem was important for the analysis of blood-vengeance in Attic
tragedy. We have sought to prove that Plato’s homicide code should be
regarded as an important and indispensable contribution to the study of
Greek homicide-law. However difficult the analysis of the references to
homicide in Attic tragedy may have been, without Plato any such
analysis would have been impossible.
