Market research assignment – questionnaire review Custom Essay

Scenario: Find a market or social research questionnaire for an Australian or well-known international company.

You can use one from a magazine, find one online, or use one sent to you by a company, council or government agency. It doesn’t matter what you choose as long as:

• It is not too long: between 9 and 15 questions is ideal (to keep your assignment manageable)
• A copy is submitted with your assignment. Upload it as an appendix in your assignment. It is not included in the word count.

• It is not the Census survey (too difficult to analyse). Other government surveys are fine to use.
• It is targeted at individuals rather than a group.

If you are unsure about whether a survey is suitable, ask your tutor.

Task: For the questionnaire you have chosen, answer the following questions:

1. What research objective(s) do you think the questionnaire is trying to meet?
2. What company or type of company might have commissioned this research? Why do you think they have done so (what management issues might they be facing) and how might they use the information collected? Use the knowledge

 

you have about marketing from other courses as well as this one in your discussion (what marketing matrix the

 

questionnaire is focusing? (eg, average purchase frequency, penetration etc??).

3. Who do you think are the target respondents and why do you think they have been chosen? This information may

 

be included in the questionnaire introduction or you may need to work it out. You do not need to contact the

 

company undertaking the research.

4. Will the questionnaire gain the information needed to meet the research objectives and management issues? We are interested in your opinion, based on what you have learnt so far. Be critical and say clearly why you think the information needed will or won’t be gained. Suggest any improvements you think should be made in terms of broad questionnaire content.

 

Be sure to use the questions that are in the questionnaire and your prior knowledge from Marketing Principles and other marketing courses you may have done to justify your answers.
