While Marketing Research, 9th edition, has a great many “tried and true” features and elements refined over the previous eight editions, we are vigilant to the major trends transforming the marketing research industry. These changes include the widespread adoption of infographics, the use of dashboards and data visualization techniques, the emergence of robust qualitative research techniques, a pronounced shift toward mobile marketing research, an increased reliance on standardized (“packaged”) research, the use of social media data, the impact of big data, the automation of many research procedures, and an emphasis on story-telling when communicating
insights.
