Introduction
Market research is a process that is intended to find, satisfy and retain customers who assists the industry make huge profits out of business. In the event of this research, this contributes to the role played by the client and his relationship to the product. Moreover, this shows that market research is a vital way for the company to know the products that would be beneficial to present in the market. It enables an organization to know if it has been able to meet the customer’s needs and whether changes need to be made in the packaging and distribution of products. Moreover, this implies that organizations need marketing research to assist managers make better, more informed decisions and support managers use the derived information from marketing research to assist in making plans and setting objectives for the future. Furthermore, managers are able to create a database or a marketing system that can become a resource for a growing range of analyses (Bates & Basch, 2009). Thus, this indicates that market research allows managers to make changes that are necessary for better results by adopting a proactive approach that leads to success of the organization. These approaches are based on contrasting between academic research and client-based research.
This document shows that client-based analysis is based on the issue of informing the consumer on what was done on the product by the organization where as academic research does not notify the public on what was done to the product; but instead remain adamant about what the agency did. Moreover, client-based analysis is committed to inform the public on its intentions where as academic research remains safe by not sharing its intentions with the pubic (Bates & Basch, 2009). The client-based research goes to the extent of intervening the client by informing them on the plans of the organization where as the academic research does not interfere with the client to be aware of its intentions; thus, being unreliable to the public.
The client-based research runs on the issue of being judged on how to solve problems in the market, but academic study bases on the issue of being judged on a scientific rigidity on people; this indicates that academic research shows precision on their clients hence contradicting client-based research that is not precise on the clients in the organization. The client-based research bases on the usage of a number of literature reviews that encourage it to inform the public on its running where as academic research uses little modifications that are based on a theory that is designed by the organization (Bates & Basch, 2009). Moreover, client-based research aim to persuade the customers with the organizations commodities where as academic research tends to be committed in adding its shares to the public.
The client-based research major objective is to bring about a good repot that is concerned with its output where as academic research; it intends to publish its intellectual expertise to the public as a key out of the organization. Client-based research tends to work on a scheduled timetable in the organization where as academic research intends to work without a scheduled task that is aimed at forming an open-ended character. Furthermore, client-base research participates in the issue of being business oriented to the public but academic research bases on the academic audience; it tends to inform them on its plans that have been proposed by the organization. Client-based research intends to assist the client to be in the position of affording important products in the market where as academic research plan to assist the public to be in the state of being able to cover expenses in the market (Bates & Basch, 2009). Thus, this study has brought about the contrasts that are perceived by both academic research and client-based research in more clarified state in the field of market research.
