Data Analysis and Classification in Marketing

AG MARKETING

General Information

The AG MARKETING is a working group of the Data Science Society (GfKl), which deals in research or practice with problems of data analysis and classification in marketing.

 

The AG MARKETING focuses on quantitative marketing research and bundles the competencies of scientists and practitioners from the marketing sector. In particular, modeling approaches, the development of advanced quantitative methods for data analysis in the marketing context, and the application of such methods to solve relevant practical problems form the core content of the AG MARKETING.

The Research Area of AG MARKETING

The increasing availability of marketing data poses great challenges to marketing managers today. In particular, marketing managers are expected to make informed marketing decisions based on marketing data. For decision support, marketing data (market data and data from experiments on varying aggregation levels) build the input for marketing models.

The development of powerful models and the preceding investigation of markets or consumer preferences are, therefore, indispensable requirements for successful marketing decisions. Important fields of research include, for example, the development of marketing theories as well as the modeling and testing of these theories using empirical data. Furthermore, the continuous further development of advanced techniques for data analysis and classification is essential.

  • Quantitative-empirical marketing research
