After a brief review of analysis methods such as Hypothesis Testing and Linear Regression, the course should focus on techniques such as: Multiple Regressions, Logit Analysis, Discrete Choice Models, Factor Analysis, Cluster Analysis, and Conjoint Analysis. These techniques are useful in market segmentation, targeting, mapping market structure, product design, and understanding advertising responsiveness.

Significant attention will be paid to how B2C consumers and B2B customers make decisions, and how marketers can influence those decisions.
