[Music]
thank you
hello welcome back with me
from the School of Business and
management instead of Technology
so now in this marketing management
courses we're going to discuss one model
we call it marketing research so before
to that
topic let me ask you one question
when you heard of marketing research how
do you think it is conducted are we
going to spread the survey
Etc could be one of them
so when we are going to use the term
market research let us introduce you
with the two different method the first
one we call it the quantitative one
so what is the quantitative methodology
if it is involved numerical and it's
involves some relationship
for example
if you are going to confirm or clarify
one things
well in the other hand you only get in
the service because of the result is so
General
and therefore there is some concern for
example the common method bias and the
reliability
the second method we call it the
qualitative method
so if it is a qualitative methods you
might see here that it involves a
contextual and the behavior if it
enforce the contextual and the behavior
usually the sampling that we are going
to use is about the purposive sampling
for example if you choose one people
because of they have some reason and
because they are representing something
that able to give you more in-depth
insight about your problems and
therefore the constraint is about the
length of the study that might be much
longer than the quantitative one
the other concern is of course because
it is qualitative you're going to do it
more in-depth and therefore there might
be some subjectivity involved when you
are doing that analysis or even in the
data collections
so the next one that we are going to do
about the con the method in the consumer
research it might include but not limit
it into the netnography the qualitative
study and the quantitative study
then the next one what is magnography
lithography is actually about the
internet and about the ethnography
internet or network so what does it mean
it's about the Contemporary approach of
ethnography it is an ethnography
over the internet
so what is the pros and cons it is
actually very naturalistic because the
data was there it is coming from
whatever you tweet on the Twitter
whatever you post on Instagram
so it goes
um increase some interest on the virtual
community because they are going to have
the common interest they are actually
discussing the same thing
so the last thing that we are going to
really highlight in the netnography is
to understand the social interactions in
the Contemporary digital context
so how to do the ethnography of course
we have to identify what was the problem
is it about the brand awareness it is
about the brand misuse
so the type of the data collection
should be matched
within the type of the questions
and after that because this is the
ethnography within the internet
you have to choose where are you going
to conduct it
is it on the social media
is it on the fan page or is it on the
official website
then after you decided where or what
kind of the field of online communities
you're going to go through then think of
the data Gathering how to do the data
Gathering you could download and scrap
the file
scrap the comments do the screenshot or
join the conversation
so
all of the things are doable in the now
digital era it's easier to get the data
out there
but be careful there is some ethical
considerations here
so after you get all of this data it's
the time for classifications and coding
there might be a question how much
supper are enough
when it reached the consideration then
it is enough
so I'll give you this example
um about exploring the brand awareness
of Ikea
Ikea was a foreign brand so when it
comes to Indonesia people might aware
some of them are not aware so how do we
know it we go to the ethnography
he goes to the several fields for
example in the Forum in the Facebook in
the Instagram and you might see like
there's so many people right about Ikea
with a different way let's take only one
example
when people write on the Facebook say
that it's the memory staying in Poland
1996 goes to the cafeteria good foodie
so what was the interpretation
so the Ikea in alamsutra people
associated with Ikea happen in the
Europe and it has a very strong brand
association with the food
so the coding that you're going to take
is the wood Association
then as a marketer you might find the
implication what will be the implication
the implications is whether you are
going to go to
do more branding
so the next one is about the service
robots
if you go for the service robots the
first questions on the in-depth
interview after the netnography you can
do the in-depth interview you can create
the initial questions on the interview
who should be the respondent of course
the one who has been experienced
and working with the surface robot how
was the procedure
it's a natural setting it is recorded it
is transcribed
so after we do those kind of selection
of sample
this is the do and don'ts of having the
interview
in the interview it's better to
introduce yourself and introduce your
research objective
so the questions is better to be not yes
and no question or we call it the
close-ended one for example like do you
like robots so that kind of question is
something that we have to avoid
instead
ask them to be more exploratory ask them
to tell you a story for example what is
the interesting thing about service
robot
the other thing is about the
focus and pay attention to the
interviewee instead of focus on your
notes
so those things are important things to
be noted when you are doing the
interview
the second methodology before we go
through that I have several questions
here for example
why do we need a market survey this is
like so common if you do the market
research let's do a survey
but then how do you do usually in
conducting a market survey what do
actually we need to know
so to answering these questions we go
through what we call as the product life
cycle
in the product life cycle there are four
life cycle stages
coming from the introductions growth
maturity and decline
with these four stages at different
stages we might ask a different
questions depends on where is the
positions of your product right now
if your product is on the introductory
phase for example you just go into the
introductory
then
please ask the about the product concept
you might also ask about the product
feature is it enough do you need
anything else about the product features
or the channel where I can buy it where
you could usually find these things and
the pricing
however if your product is goes to the
growth and maturity stages
the questions on the research market
research might be related to for example
you review your segment or Target Market
are you actually targeting the right
Market
or you could do the customer feedback
analysis here using the IPA analysis
important performance one
and the third one is about the Loyalty
Factor because your product goes to the
maturity stage already however
if your product right now is goes to the
decline stage think of doing the net
promoter score and researching about the
Perpetual Behavior and the product
Improvement
so I'll give you some examples about how
to do the survey based on the across the
customer Journey in the pre-purchase
think of the customer preferences why
they think product a then product B the
pricing scheme how the consumer use it
how your customer knows about other
competitors and whether your customer
would like to buy your product or not
and then for the Post purchase think of
the do the brand Association survey the
satisfaction survey
and the post-purchase behavior
so this is the example if on the print
purchase think of those marketing mix
for example
you ask where do you go when you need
some product
or what is your typical budget for
buying blah blah
or what features do you look for when
you are purchasing blah blah
this can answer and give you some
insight about what product your customer
needs
the second one is about analyzing the
competitor think of you would like to
know whether you are associated with
characteristic with each of brand
potential you might list it your
competitor
and see what Association that each of
your competitor has
then it is a brand Association survey
one
and at last but the post purchase you
could add for example for the net
promoter score would you like recommend
this product to your friends
definitely probably definitely not
probably not or how satisfied you are
with blower and having this Leica skill
then you would like to know like why
they stay with you or why they leave you
so those are the simple examples of how
we conduct the market research and I do
hope that this module will be helpful
for you and beneficial for you thank you
and I'll see you in the next module
