Problem 1. Internal company databases are used by many marketing managers for identifying marketing opportunities and problems, planning programs and evaluating performances.
How do internal company databases differ from marketing intelligence and marketing research as methods for developing marketing information?
Problem 2. Which do you believe presents a greater challenge, launching a new product or attempting to revive an older one? Please explain your reasoning.
Problem 3. The systematic gathering of data, which you mention in your definition of marketing research, consists of two types. They are primary data collection and secondary data collection.
Primary data collection is obtained through observations and questionnaires. Secondary data collection is information which has already been collected by internal and external sources.
Could you please elaborate on primary data collection and explain why it is important to developing a marketing strategy?
