Marketing Research - Limitations and Constraints

Accurate, up-to-date information obtained by marketing research can be of enormous value to a business in gaining and/or maintaining its competitive edge. However, there are a number of reasons why, in reality, these potential benefits may not be realised.

Budgetary constraints

Gathering and processing data can be very expensive. Many organisations may lack the expertise to conduct extensive surveys to gather primary data, whatever the potential benefits, and also lack the funds to pay specialist market research agencies to gather such data for them. In these cases, organisations may be forced to rely on data that is less than ‘perfect’ but that can be accessed more cheaply, e.g., from secondary sources

Time constraints

Organisations are often forced to balance the need to build up as detailed a picture as possible regarding customer needs etc. against the desire to make decisions as quickly as possible, in order to maintain or improve their position in the market

Reliability of the data

The value of any research findings depend critically on the accuracy of the data collected. Data quality can be compromised via a number of potential routes, e.g., leading questions, unrepresentative samples, biased interviewers etc. Efforts to ensure that data is accurate, samples are representative and interviewers are objective will all add to the costs of the research but such costs are necessary if poor decisions and expensive mistakes are to be avoided.

Legal & ethical constraints

the Data Protection Act (1998) is a good example of a law that has a number of implications for market researchers collecting and holding personal data. For instance, researchers must ensure that the data they obtain is kept secure, is only used for lawful purposes and is only kept for as long as it is necessary. It must be made clear as to why data is being collected and the consent of participants must be obtained. In addition to this, there are a number of guidelines, laid down by such organisations as the Market Research Society, that, although not legally binding, encourage organisations to behave ethically when dealing with members of the public.

DESCRIPTION

LIMITATIONS OF MARKETING RESEARCH

By HARI KRISHNA

(1) Marketing research offers suggestions and not decisions:

Marketing research is not a substitute for decision making process. It only offers possible suggestions/solutions to marketing problems. It actually acts as a tool that facilitates decision-making process. It guides marketing managers in taking balanced, result-oriented and rational decisions. The suggestions offered by marketing researchers are usually possible/probable solutions but not the exact solutions. MR does not provide readymade solutions to marketing problems. It only provides indicators. It may not provide conclusive information on marketing problems.

(2) Marketing research cannot predict accurately: In MR, efforts are being made to estimate or predict

the possible future situation. For this/ certain research studies are undertaken. However, the results/ conclusions arrived at may not be complete, perfect or accurate. Future is always uncertain and exact prediction about the future is just not possible through marketing research. This is because market environment is ever changing consumer behavior is difficult to estimate correctly and reliable data for research purpose may not be available. As a result, the decisions taken and policies framed on the basis of such research studies may not be accurate and useful for solving current marketing problems.

(3)   MR conclusions are not always dependable: There are many who are skeptics of MR. Their criticism

is that MR conclusions are not dependable. There are examples where the research failed to deliver desired results or a product failed even when the research had shown promising market demand and consumer support. The classical example is that of Coke. Its MR showed that 68% customers in US liked the taste of the new formula developed by the Coca-Cola Corporation. However, the New Coke failed and in less than six months of its launch, the Coke management had to re-launch old Coke under the brand name Coke Classic. However, this failure of MR was mainly due to conventional approach of researchers.

(4)   Not an exact science: Since marketing research plates to consumers, it cannot be

accepted as an exact science. Both quantifiable and non-quantifiable factors have to be assessed with the help of various techniques available to formulate marketing policies that will help to achieve maximum sales. The technical part of marketing research comes into operation particularly while collecting, analyzing, interpreting facts and figures. No amount of sophistication makes the subject an exact science. Because, as stated earlier, it concerns primarily the consumer as a human being Study of human behavior precludes absolute mathematical accuracy   Probable trends, at the most can be indicated within pre determined limits. This sets a basic limitation to marketing research.

(5)   Time lag in presentation and implementation: There are other constraints as well that make for qualified

utility of marketing research in decision-making. For example, there is the limitation of time. Collection of data, their checking as to accu racy and analysis and presentation often involve considerable time. The formulation of policies and their implementation as also their subsequent evaluation, which are a necessary follow-up, also take time. People’s tastes and preferences are subject to frequent changes. It is, therefore necessary, keeping in mind the scope and nature of marketing research, that the projects should be completed in time to ensure their utility. In this process, at times, as a compro mise some accuracy may have to be sacrificed, but the degree of it can be decided in relation to the specific circumstances.

(6)   Limitations of personnel: Another constraint that is experienced pertains to

personnel and its quality. Trained, well-equipped and well-directed research personnel can improve the quality and utility of marketing research. In the absence of this, research is likely to be costly and unreliable. Correct and complete information has to be collected from the respondents tactfully. The interviewer has to be reasonably aware of the psychological make-up of the persons that are being interviewed and should be able to analyze their thoughts and reactions. Apart from this, interviewers may have their own failings   and weaknesses. Hence the training interviewers and investigators is a must.

(7)   A cost-generating operation: Marketing research is expensive. The existence of

sellers’ market or a sheltered market in many developing countries in particular has also been responsible for an apathetic approach to marketing research. However, with the growth and development of their economies, the marketing conditions are changing in favor of buyers and the need for and the value of marketing research are being increasingly recognized by the enterprises in these countries also. With the communication between the purchaser and the manufacturer becoming indirect, meagre and unsatisfactory and as a result of competition, the manufacturer is increasingly becoming anxious to know the magnitude of his sales to consumers, where they are being effected, the kinds of people buying his goods and their reactions and responses.

(8)   Marketing research cannot study all marketing problems:

Marketing research is rather very wide in scope. However, it cannot study all marketing problems particularly where it is difficult to collect relevant data. Similarly, research study is not possible where value judgments are involved. Even it is not useful for dealing with urgent marketing problems where quick decisions and follow-up actions are necessary.Thus, all marketing problems are not researchable and all research problems are not answerable.

(9)     Resistance by marketing executives: Researchers study marketing problems and

offer information and guidance to marketing executives in their decision-making process. However, some executives are reluctant to use the solutions suggested by the researchers. They feel that such extensive use will act as a threat to their personal status. Findings of the research work may bring them in difficulties if the policy-decisions taken accordingly prove to be wrong.

( 10)     Lengthy and time-consuming activity: MR is a lengthy and time-consuming activity. It

involves various stages/steps, which need to be completed in an orderly manner. It is not desirable to conduct research work in a haphazard manner. Naturally, the research work takes longer period for completion and the findings when available may prove to be old and outdated. Even data collected very soon become old or historical due to fast changing market environment. As a result, research findings based on them become irrelevant in the changed situation.

(11)     Complexity of the subject: Marketing research fails to give complete and

full proof solutions to management.This is because marketingresearch itself is not an exact science. It is concerned with the study of human beings and human behavior is always difficult to predict, errors in drawing conclusions are possible due to this human element in marketing research activities. Errors in the research studies are also possible due to uncertainty of human behavior and also because of non-availability of reliable data.

(12)     Non-availability of qualified staff: For scientific MR, professional marketing

researchers with proper qualifications, training and experience are necessary. Research work is likely to be incomplete/ unreliable in the absence of such expert staff. Companies find it difficult to have the services of such expert staff. They find it difficult to pay high salary to professional consultants. Research activities are conducted in limited areas due to non-availability of properly qualified staff. Such staff includes statisticians, psychologists, sociologists, economists and computer experts.

( 13)  Changing behaviour of consumers:

Consumer is the focal point in marketing research. However, his buying motives are difficult to judge precisely and accurately. This brings some sort of uncertainty in the conclusions drawn from the research activity. The findings of the research work (particularly in the case of consumer research) may not prove to be accurate.

(14)    Absence of effective communication:

The research activity will be useful and result-oriented only when there is meaningful dialogue between the marketing management and marketing research team. However, such dialogue is ineffective in many organizations. This make’ research activity ineffective.

Top 10 limitation of marketing research.

ADVERTISEMENTS:

Marketing research plays a crucial role in excelling marketing performance. In fact, it is inevitable to understand and treat customers more effectively than competitors. Marketer can satisfy customers by maintaining close contact with the target market by marketing research. It is one of the basic tasks of modern marketing. However, it is not free from limitations. Marketing manager must be aware of these limitations.

Main limitations or practical problems have been discussed as under:

1. Effect of Extraneous Factors :

Extraneous means external and uncontrollable factors. In most of the cases, the extraneous factors affect marketing research results adversely. Due to impact of such factors, the net impact cannot be estimated. For example, if marketer wants to study the impact of 10% price rise on demand and he raises price by 10%.

As a result, demand falls by 20%. Here, decrease in demand cannot be fully attributed to price hike only. Demand might have been affected by other factors like introduction of new superior product, attractive offer of competitors, availability of powerful substitutes, etc., over and above price rise. Whatever degree of precaution is taken, one cannot eliminate effect of such factors completely, and as a result, marketing research cannot serve the purpose.

2. Time Gap Makes Research Irrelevant :

Systematic marketing research project needs more time. It takes weeks, months, even years. When marketing research is carried on to investigate or solve the problem, final outcomes are available after considerable time. When outcomes are made available, situations might have been changed thoroughly or problem for which research was made might have been solved automatically. Decision-maker needs information in time. But, practically, it is not possible. Sometimes, time, money, and efforts contribute nothing.

3. Cost Consideration :

To conduct marketing research systematically is a luxury. A firm needs money for research design, data collection, data analysis, interpretation, and report preparation. Statisticians and computer experts charge heavy fees. When research is conducted regularly, a company has to maintain a separate well-equipped marketing research department. Marketing research has become costlier. So, it is difficult for medium and small companies to afford.

4. Problem of Rapid Change :

Today’s market is characterized by tremendous changes. Whatever is applicable or relevant today is out-dated tomorrow. Due to rapid changes, marketing research cannot serve the purpose. Research results or outcomes available after the specific time period seem irrelevant or meaningless.

5. Problem of Trust and Accuracy :

Marketing research is based on trust and accuracy. Right from the identification of problem to the final outcomes, all depends on trust. Company has to trust on marketing research officer; research officer has to trust on field officer; and field officer has to rely on response of respondents. At any stage of marketing research, accuracy is vital issue. To the extent inaccuracy prevails, marketing research results suffer.

6. It is not Problem Solving Technique but an Aid to Solve the Problem :

It is interesting and shocking to state that marketing research does not solve any problem directly. It is not a problem-solving technique but can assist to solve it. It is not a magic stick to solve marketing problems; it is a source of information. To the extent source is reliable and is used properly, it is useful. Even, an excellent research project is useless if outcomes are not considered.

7. Subjective or Biased Result :

When human being is involved, a completely bias-free response or result is not possible. Effect of personal value, prejudice, attitudes, needs, and other socio-cultural factors affect the objectivity of research adversely. Subjectivity may lead to utter chaos.

8. It cannot Eliminate Risks Inherent in Decision-making :

In every economic decisions, there exists risk and uncertainly. Marketing research cannot eliminate risk and uncertainty. It is an attempt to minimize degree of risk. So, heavy costs on marketing research don’t guarantee safety and certainty.

9. Applicability or Use :

Contribution of research project depends not only on quality and reliability alone, but also the proper use of information. Many times, marketing research reports remain just a formality for top management. Recommendations are neither considered seriously nor implemented fully.

10. Difference between Filed Officers, Data Analysts, and Decision- makers :

Marketing research activity involves a number of people such as marketing manager, field officer, data analysts, and finally decision-maker. All these people have different objectives, backgrounds, and perspectives. Consistency or parity among them is a vital issue. Unless high degree of integration and intimacy among them exit, one cannot expect a success. In fact, it is difficult.

Marketing manager and those involved in marketing research activity must be aware of these limitations/practical problems. Note that these limiting factors cannot be completely eradicated. Attempts should be made to minimize adverse impact of these limiting factors. Careful plan, adequate budget, teamwork, accuracy, timeliness, proper use and implementation, etc., have a strong prospect to contribute in successful marketing research.

Market research presentation: A comprehensive guide

This comprehensive guide covers everything from choosing the right topic to delivering with confidence.

Building presentations

Ever wondered what goes into creating a killer market research presentation that not only impresses your stakeholders but also provides valuable insights?

You're in the right place.

In this comprehensive guide, we'll dive deep into the world of market research presentations, dissecting everything from what they are to how to create one that stands out.

How do you explain market research?

Before we jump into the nitty-gritty of market research presentations, let's start with the basics – what is market research?

Market research is the process of gathering, analyzing, and interpreting data about a particular market, industry, or consumer group. It's the compass that guides businesses in making informed decisions.

Market research comes in various forms: quantitative and qualitative. Quantitative research involves collecting numerical data, while qualitative research focuses on understanding the why and how behind consumer behavior. Both are crucial components of effective market research.

What is a market research presentation?

Now that we have a clear understanding of market research, let's move on to market research presentations. A market research presentation is the culmination of your research efforts, a visual and data-driven representation of your findings. It's the bridge that connects your research to your stakeholders, making it easier for them to grasp the insights you've gathered.

A well-crafted market research presentation is not just a collection of slides; it's a storytelling platform. It should engage your audience, present data in an understandable manner, and ultimately guide your stakeholders towards informed decision-making.

What to include in a market research presentation?

Creating a market research presentation involves more than just inserting a few charts and graphs. To ensure your presentation hits the mark, here are some essential elements to include:

1. Market research overview

• Define the purpose and objectives of your research.
• Provide a brief overview of the market you've studied.

2. Methodology

• Explain how you conducted your research, whether through surveys, data analysis, or other methods.

5. Recommendations

• Based on your findings, provide actionable recommendations.

6. Conclusion

• Summarize the core points of your presentation.
• Emphasize the key takeaways for your audience.

How to structure a market research presentation

Structuring a market research presentation effectively is essential to convey your findings and insights clearly to your audience. Whether you're presenting to stakeholders, colleagues, or clients, a well-structured presentation can make your data more understandable and impactful. Here's a suggested structure for a market research presentation:

• Reiterate the importance of the research.

13. Q&A session

How to Make a “Good” Presentation “Great”

• Guy Kawasaki

Remember: Less is more.

A strong presentation is so much more than information pasted onto a series of slides with fancy backgrounds. Whether you’re pitching an idea, reporting market research, or sharing something else, a great presentation can give you a competitive advantage, and be a powerful tool when aiming to persuade, educate, or inspire others. Here are some unique elements that make a presentation stand out.

• Fonts: Sans Serif fonts such as Helvetica or Arial are preferred for their clean lines, which make them easy to digest at various sizes and distances. Limit the number of font styles to two: one for headings and another for body text, to avoid visual confusion or distractions.
• Colors: Colors can evoke emotions and highlight critical points, but their overuse can lead to a cluttered and confusing presentation. A limited palette of two to three main colors, complemented by a simple background, can help you draw attention to key elements without overwhelming the audience.
• Pictures: Pictures can communicate complex ideas quickly and memorably but choosing the right images is key. Images or pictures should be big (perhaps 20-25% of the page), bold, and have a clear purpose that complements the slide’s text.
• Layout: Don’t overcrowd your slides with too much information. When in doubt, adhere to the principle of simplicity, and aim for a clean and uncluttered layout with plenty of white space around text and images. Think phrases and bullets, not sentences.

As an intern or early career professional, chances are that you’ll be tasked with making or giving a presentation in the near future. Whether you’re pitching an idea, reporting market research, or sharing something else, a great presentation can give you a competitive advantage, and be a powerful tool when aiming to persuade, educate, or inspire others.
