Chapter Three
Secondary Data
Data that have been previously gathered
Information
• Can help to clarify or refine the issue or problem;
• Might provide solution to research problem;
• Might provide primary data research alternatives;
• Can alert the researcher to other problems;
• Provides background information enhancing research credibility.
Chapter Three
Secondary Data
Data that have been previously gathered
• Might be outdated or questionable;
• Qualitative nature makes analyses difficult;
• Could be misapplied to your situation;
• Might be biased - intentionally or unintentionally;
• Lack of available data on your topic.
Chapter Three
Secondary Data
Data that have been previously gathered
Relevance:
• Does the data measure what we think it measures?
• Does it apply to the audience we think it applies to?
Determining
its Quality
&
Application
Limitations
Timeliness:
• Have we received it in time to make decisions/conclusions?
• Are data out of date / when were the data collected?
Quality / Accuracy:
• How were the data obtained - what methods were used?
• Who collected the data – were there any biases?
• Why and for what purpose was the data collected?
Completeness:
• Is the whole story captured - are we parsing the data?
• Is there a sufficient amount of data to tell the story?
Insufficiency:
• Not enough good data exists to make a sound decision.
Chapter Three
Primary Data
New data gathered to help solve the problem under investigation
• Gathered directly from customer or end user;
• It can be expensive;
• It is often time consuming;
• It can be representative of the population;
• Is generally for use related to research issue.
• Key Methods:
• Surveys
• Focus groups
• Interviews
• Observation Studies
• Market Testing
• Experiments
Chapter Three
Internal Databases
“A collection of related
information developed from
data within the organization.”
Database Marketing:
• Marketing that relies on the creation of a large
computerized file of customers’ and potential
customers’ profiles and purchase patterns to create a
target marketing mix.
Cookie:
• A text file placed on a user’s computer in order to
identify the user when the user revisits the Web site.
Chapter Three
Internal Databases
Some Key
Features:
• Creation of large - up to date - computerized file;
• Can include current, past, or potential customers;
• Might be focused on demographic, purchase behaviors;
• A development of customer profiles results;
• Should enable one to generated direct marketing mailers /e-mails
targeted at specific customers based on their buying behavior;
• Can be used to collect customer information from your Web site;
• Should be organized to enable you to search the database using queries;
• Should be compatible with database software that will enhance analysis.
Chapter Three
Internal Databases - Data Mining
Reading between the computer lines
Neural Network:
• A computer program that mimics the processes of the
human brain and thus is capable of learning from examples
to find patterns in data.
Data Mining:
• The use of statistical and other advanced software
to discover non-obvious patterns hidden in a database.
•Some Applications:
• Customer acquisition
• Customer retention
• Customer abandonment
• Market basket analysis
