Marketing research affects every aspect of a business including brand, product, customer service, marketing, and sales. By gaining insights from data, students can understand how your audience behaves and feels. This information can empower organizations to meet customer needs and mitigate risk. As more organizations rely on data to drive strategic planning and decision-making, there is an increased demand for graduates capable of performing sophisticated business intelligence tasks.
