Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

The course seeks to develop critical skills for the analysis and interpretation of international marketing research data. It builds directly on the knowledge gained from the International Marketing Research 1 course and highlights measurement and sampling data analysis issues in an international research setting.

The course involves a combination of formal lectures and workshop sessions, placing particular emphasis on student participation.

UPDATE 12.03.2020: due to the current situation following steps have been taken: we have scheduled additional slots in May to make up for missed sessions; session slides as well as videos will be provided on Moodle
UPDATE 19.03.2020 regular Q&A sessions via BigBlueButton
UPDATE 20.04.2020: The group presentations will take place online via BigBlueButton on May 25th (as originally announced): groups 1-3 will present at 10:00am; groups 4-6 at 14:00pm via BigBlueButton. The final exam will take place online via Moodle on June 15th at 9:45 (as originally announced).

Assessment and permitted materials

Performance in the course will be assessed as follows:
Class Participation 10%
Group Project 45%
Final Exam 45%

No material other than a dictonary may be used in the final exam.

UPDATE 20.04.2020: The final exam will only contain essay questions. More details will follow closer to the date.

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

As the course has prüfungsimmanenten Charakter, attendance is compulsory throughout the semester (see also Admission and Attendance Policies on our homepage); more than three absences will automatically result in a failed grade.

In total, a minimum of 50 percent needs to be attained overall to pass the course. The grading system looks as follows: 0 to 49% - grade 5, 50 to 59% - grade 4, 60 to 69% - grade 3, 70 to 79% - grade 2, 80 to 100% - grade 1.

Students who fail must repeat the entire course (and must register in the usual way next time the course is offered). No opportunities for make-ups will be offered.

Examination topics

The group project will be tackled in groups of 3-5 students and will involve the preparation and presentation of a Research Report (further details will be given in the Introduction/Vorbesprechung session); the same grade will be awarded to all students belonging to the same group.

The final exam will last 60 minutes will be based on the textbooks, additional readings and material covered in the lectures (including case studies).
