About the Course

Your marketing quest begins here! The first course in this specialization lays the neccessary groundwork for an overall successful marketing strategy. It is separated into two sections: Market Research and Consumer Behavior. Gain the tools and techniques to translate a decision problem into a research question in the Market Research module. Learn how to design a research plan, analyze the data gathered and accurately interpret and communicate survey reports, translating the results into practical recommendations. You will then focus in on the consumer decision-making process, highlighting the key moments from identifying a need to buying and consuming a product. Adopt a true “consumer focus” in your managerial decisions by analyzing how consumers make decisions, what happens (in their hearts and minds) at different stages of the decision making process, and the variables that influence those decisions. This course will equip you with the knowledge required to understand the state of your product before approaching the market strategy. There’s no better place to build the foundations of your marketing journey!...

This is a very complete course, with a lot of interesting concepts. People without formal studies on marketing who want to have overall, strong and relevant understanding should start right here!

Material is elementary. Provides vocabulary and a theoretical framework to marketing concepts and consumer behavior - the "what" - but gives few practical examples or exercises that will help you translate into day-to-day marketing activities.

Course is too much oriented towards research papers and lacks any practical aspect. There should be some exercise which can actually help the learner to learn practical usage of the learnings and can apply in a real/hypothetical situation.

This course needs alot more examples, especially where the statistical tools come into play. It would better to separate consumer behaviour and market research, as different courses. Basically, too much theory and too little practice.

This has very little to do with market research sadly. The content taught was shallow and sometimes vague. the course felt unstructured too and ended pretty abruptly with a video on data science which was way too short for the topic.

The concepts/topics covered were interesting but the professor is not very engaging. The content and the visuals are dull - can be made more informative!

Should include questions from reading material as well in the graded exams.

the course is uncomplete in topics, the teacher says he will have a clip about certain things that are never teached during the 4 weeks. The ideas are all mixed up and rarely give a direct definition or concept about things

The pace of teaching was sometimes slow and sometimes fast leaving many details and explanations out. If somebody has already had courses related to Marketing and Research Methods, then better not go through this course.

disappointing course, it was quite vague, the instructor seemed to be reading from a textbook rather than actually explaining things. i expected better from ie. this is the worst course i did on coursera.

i do really disappointed because when professor starts the third & 4th week he was only throwing the information without enough explanation so i had to read more about the topics to pass the quiz .

In my opinion, the professor's accent and speaking style makes the content difficult to understand. In addition, the course does not seem to have been properly designed

Very superficial. The instructor did not add any value - just some info quickly presented. Very disappointed; I was expecting much more from IE!

Fairly poor level of detail - you feel like you end up just learning terms without really getting a proper test on the understanding behind it.

I would the information provided in the course is a lot but it lacks the quality of explanation, they could have used some case studies

The explanation of topics were discussed in gist. It would be better if more explanation of the topics are given

Very poorly-structured course. I found that the content was very random and most concepts were hardly explained.
