A very well written textbook. For students in a master program it is the right book and offers sufficient insights. As it is written in English and the course is taught in German it is adopted as a recommended book for the students.

I recommend this book for students in courses for Media Research, specifically Media Management Research.

This adds that little bit extra information about statistics to a more general textbook on marketing and consumer research. I will use the book as a recommended source for those students who wish to progress a little further with quantitative analyses.

Professor Paul Hackett

I recommend this book in my Marketing Research Course as well as Consumer Behaviour course. It's well written, with a good balance between statistics and marketing practice oriented knowledge. It covers practically all the fields of marketing research problems linking them with appropriate tools of analysis. My students like this book on condition that they have basic knowledge on statistics.

Certainly appreciated the exercises at the end of the Chapters, allows the students to practice the elements discussed in the text.

The platform allows researchers to cross-search and seamlessly access a wide breadth of must-have SAGE book and reference content from one source.

SAGE Research Methods is a research methods tool created to help researchers, faculty and students with their research projects. SAGE Research Methods links over 175,000 pages of SAGE’s renowned book, journal and reference content with truly advanced search and discovery tools. Researchers can explore methods concepts to help them design research projects, understand particular methods or identify a new method, conduct their research, and write up their findings. Since SAGE Research Methods focuses on methodology rather than disciplines, it can be used across the social sciences, health sciences, and more.
