Successful management of the marketing process requires effective information about consumers and the market. Marketing Research is a dynamic process linking consumers to marketers through information. The course is designed to develop your skills as a marketing decision maker. While some students may take on roles in marketing research many more will take on the role of marketing manager. The course is structured so as to provide students with a solid introduction to the marketing research process, and conducting and understanding research to obtain information to aid marketing decision-making. The emphasis will be on translating marketing concepts into context-specific operational decisions and actions using research methods and analysis.

Learning Outcomes

Upon successful completion, students will have the knowledge and skills to:

  1. Identify marketing problem(s) to assist in decision making;
  2. Choose the methodologies to acquire evidence in an ethical manner to address the marketing problem;
  3. Retrieve primary and secondary data to solve the marketing problem;
  4. Establish the methodological quality, reliability and validity of the data collected;
  5. Integrate all types of relevant evidence towards finding solutions to the marketing problem;
  6. Find solutions to the marketing problem based on the integrated relevant evidence; and
  7. Produce an evidence-based marketing report to maximise the likelihood of effective implementation of solutions.

Research-Led Teaching

Research-led and practice-based teaching: This course offers students a valuable opportunity to apply theoretical knowledge and methodological skills to real-world research, using contemporary tools and techniques from the social sciences, with a particular focus on marketing.

Research-based assessment: Students will work in groups of up to 5 members on a marketing research project in collaboration with a real-world industry client. Clients are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis, while groups are self-selected by students. Each group will address a genuine marketing challenge faced by their chosen client, applying theoretical knowledge and research methods covered in the course. The project involves collecting and analysing both qualitative and quantitative data to develop evidence-based, actionable recommendations for the client. The research project forms the core Work Integrated Learning (WIL) component of the course, emphasising a student-centred and experiential learning approach. Research engagement is scaffolded through a problem-based introduction to marketing research; hands-on exploration of the research process through workshop activities; and, independent and team-based inquiry using key concepts, theories, and data collection and analysis techniques. Students will be expected to present their research findings, justify their methodology, and submit a final written report that demonstrates both academic rigour and practical relevance.

Policies

ANU has educational policies, procedures and guidelines, which are designed to ensure that staff and students are aware of the University’s academic standards, and implement them. Students are expected to have read the Academic Misconduct Rule before the commencement of their course. Other key policies and guidelines include:

Assessment Requirements

The ANU is using Turnitin to enhance student citation and referencing techniques, and to assess assignment submissions as a component of the University's approach to managing Academic Integrity. For additional information regarding Turnitin please visit the ANU Online website Students may choose not to submit assessment items through Turnitin. In this instance you will be required to submit, alongside the assessment item itself, hard copies of all references included in the assessment item.

Moderation of Assessment

Marks that are allocated during Semester are to be considered provisional until formalised by the College examiners meeting at the end of each Semester. If appropriate, some moderation of marks might be applied prior to final results being released.

Participation

This course follows a flipped classroom model designed to maximise in-class engagement and application of concepts.

  • Lectures (1 hour) will be pre-recorded and made available on the course Canvas page. Students are required to watch these recordings prior to workshops, as they introduce key concepts that will be explored in greater depth during in-class activities.
  • Workshops (2 hours) will be delivered face-to-face on campus. These sessions are not recorded and there is no online delivery option. All relevant materials will be provided on the course Canvas page.


Active engagement with pre-recorded lectures is essential for building the conceptual foundation needed for meaningful participation in workshops and successful completion of assessments. Workshop activities are designed to apply and reinforce these concepts, with in-class exercises used to gauge engagement. While workshop participation is not formally graded, consistent involvement is strongly advised to ensure students can demonstrate achievement across all learning outcomes for the course.

Attendance at workshops is expected in accordance with the Code of Practice for Teaching and Learning (Clause 2, Paragraph b). However, attendance alone is not sufficient. Students are expected to arrive prepared and engage actively and constructively. This includes:

  • Contributing thoughtfully to group discussions,
  • Listening and responding to peers,
  • Demonstrating collaborative leadership or followership when appropriate,
  • Participating fully in workshop activities, and
  • Sharing relevant individual insights with the class.


To succeed in this course, students should therefore:

  • Engage with all pre-recorded lectures as part of their self-directed learning,
  • Actively prepare for and contribute to workshops, and
  • Submit all assessment tasks by the required deadlines.

Examination(s)

The final examination for this course is a two-hour (indicative), closed-book, handwritten examination conducted in person under central invigilation. The examination will take place during the official end-of-semester examination period following Week 12. The exact date and time will be determined by the Examinations Office and communicated directly to students, with details also made available on the course Canvas page once confirmed. As this is a closed-book examination, no additional materials, including notes, textbooks, or other reference resources, will be permitted.

Assessment Task 3

Value: 35 %
Due Date: 30/10/2026
Return of Assessment: 13/11/2026
Learning Outcomes: 5,6,7

Research Project Report (Group - 25%) & Contribution Statement (Individual - 10%) = 35%

Assessment Description: This task consists of two parts: a research project report (Part A) and a contribution statement (Part B).

Part A

Groups of up to 5 students will assume the role of market researchers commissioned to conduct a research project on behalf of an industry client. Clients will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis, while groups will be self-selected by students within the same workshop session. Working collaboratively, students will apply key concepts and frameworks learned throughout the course to address a real-world marketing problem faced by their client. Students will begin by identifying and framing the marketing problem before translating it into a clear research problem supported by well-defined research questions and objectives. They will then undertake a critical review of relevant literature and theoretical concepts to inform their investigation. Drawing on these insights, students will design a marketing research project incorporating both qualitative and quantitative methods of data collection and analysis. The project requires students to select and justify appropriate research methodologies, analyse data using relevant techniques, and interpret findings in a meaningful manner. The final report will present the research findings, discuss limitations, and provide evidence-based, actionable recommendations for the client. As part of the report submission, groups must also include an authorship declaration table identifying the primary and secondary contributor(s) responsible for each major section of the report. This declaration is intended to promote transparency and accountability in group work and will be used in conjunction with the individual contribution statement.

Students will have dedicated opportunities during weekly workshops to collaborate with their group and make incremental progress on the project. These sessions are designed to help students build rapport, develop teamwork skills, and address any challenges in group dynamics early in the project timeline - well before the main research assessment is due. The course convener and/or tutors will provide ongoing supervision during the workshops to ensure that group functioning remains effective. Regular check-ins during the workshops will also allow for early detection of any issues, which will be proactively addressed by the teaching staff to support fair and productive group collaboration.

Part B

Each student is required to submit an individual contribution statement. The purpose of this statement is to provide students with an opportunity to demonstrate, substantiate, and reflect on their individual contribution to the group research project. Students are expected to provide a clear account of their role within the project and support their claims with evidence. The statement should include: (1) a description of the student’s primary contribution(s) to the project; (2) a brief explanation of at least five pieces of supporting evidence, including a minimum of three pieces demonstrating direct contribution to the final report; and (3) a reflection on the skills, knowledge, and insights gained through participation in the project. The statement also serves as a reference point in cases where concerns about unequal contributions arise. The statement must be submitted individually and will remain confidential; it will not be shared with other group members.

Further information about the assessment task will be available on Canvas from Week 1 of the semester.

Assessment Type: Group (Report) and Individual (Contribution Statement)

Weight: 25% (Report) + 10% (Contribution Statement) = 35%

Words (Report): 3000 words (+/- 10%) - including all headings, sub-headings, and in-text citations. Any portion in excess of the word limit will neither be read nor marked. Detailed analysis in support of the report must be included in the appendix (excluded from the word count).
