description Our approach is to teach the fundamentals of marketing research. Consequently, the text is geared to what we believe is the level of the typical undergraduate business student. Our presentation is written from an intuitive perspective, and we use examples and situations consistent with undergraduate students' experiences. The emphasis is on comprehension and application of basic elements of marketing research. As can be seen in our list of strengths for the Fourth Edition, we have greatly increased coverage of online research applications as this is the direction in which the research industry is rushing at great speed. Our basic philosophy is that marketing research should be regarded as an essential tool in everyday marketing decision making. Technology (e.g ., communications systems and personal computers) and trends in marketing research (e.g ., single source data, syndicated databases, and off-the-shelf software) are converging to make what was previously specialized and unique information now commonplace. We believe that in order to cope with today's and to succeed in tomorrow's business decision-making environment, students must cultivate an attitude that marketing research is not mysterious, nor is it for the privileged few. Rather, they should regard marketing research information as normal, everyday decision input. Further, they must appreciate the online aspects of marketing research as they are becoming standard research practice.
