Syllabus for MKTG 474MARKETING ANALYTICShttp://www.personal.psu.edu/jxb14/MA/Fall 2021Hans BaumgartnerSmeal Chair Professor of MarketingOffice: 482 Business Bldg., Phone: 863-3559, E-mail: [email protected] hours: M/W 1:30-3:00 or by appointmentCourse objectives:This course will provide you with an introduction to marketing analytics. We will study varioustools for generating marketing insights from data in such areas as segmentation, targeting andpositioning, satisfaction management, customer lifetime analysis, customer choice, product andprice decisions using conjoint analysis, and text analysis and search analytics. This will be ahands-on course based on the Marketing Engineering (Enginius) approach and Excel software,in which you apply the tools studied in class to actual business situations. You will alsocomplete a group project in which you collect and analyze data or introduce your fellowstudents to a marketing analytics technique not studied in class.Course Details:Course materials. Lecture topics and assignments are listed under Course Schedule. Theoverheads used in class are available as Powerpoint and Adobe pdf files from the course website.The textbook for the course (referred to as LRB in the Course Schedule) is:Lilien, Gary L., Arvind Rangaswamy, and Arnaud de Bruyn (2017), Principles of MarketingEngineering and Analytics, 3rd edition, State College, PA: DecisionPro, Inc.You can download the relevant chapters of the textbook from the Enginius website(https://www.enginius.biz/). You have to purchase a license for the software for 28, which willalso give you access to the textbook and other materials. I will send you instructions about howto obtain the license via E-mail. Please complete your order as soon as possible.
Additional assignments (readings, exercises, software tutorials, etc.) can be obtained via thecourse website or from the Enginius portal.Preparation for class. The course will be a combination of lectures, discussions, exercises,case analyses, and presentations. For each class, read the relevant materials listed in theassignment column of the course schedule, download the overheads, and complete all otherassignments (see below). I expect you to attend class regularly and to take an active role in classdiscussions. I will monitor your attendance and participation in class discussions, and both willcontribute to your course grade. At the start of the semester I will randomly assign eachstudent to one of six teams, and each team will analyze six cases, present one case analysis, andcomplete a group project. These assignments are described in more detail below.In-class exercises. We will do several in-class exercises throughout the semester. Thepurpose of these exercises is to give you practice in applying marketing analytics tools to thesolution of practical business problems. The in-class exercises are listed in the assignmentcolumn of the Course Schedule. You do not have to hand in anything for these exercises, butyour contribution to the class discussion will count toward your participation grade.Case discussions. We will analyze six cases over the course of the semester. One team willbe randomly assigned to each case and will give a 20-minute presentation of their case analysisto the rest of the class. However, all teams have to analyze each case and, following thepresentation, there will be an open discussion of the case by the entire class. All teams have tosubmit a 5-page executive summary of their case analysis to the instructor at the beginning ofthe class in which the case is being analyzed; the group that is presenting the case should alsohand in a copy of their presentation (e.g., the Powerpoint slides).Team project. Each team will complete a group project, which has to be presented in class.The presentation dates are listed in the Course schedule, and teams will be randomly assignedto one of the three dates. Each team should prepare a 25-minute in-class presentation. A copyof the presentation and a 5-page executive summary must be handed in to the instructor at thebeginning of the class in which a team presents their project. The team project will be gradedbased on the quality of the oral presentation and the written materials. Team members willalso rate each other’s contribution to the project. Two types of topics are appropriate for theteam project. First, you can apply one of the tools studied in class to a particular businessproblem. This will most likely involve the collection of primary data and an in-depth analysis ofthe data using the Enginius software. Second, you can choose a marketing analytics techniquethat we did not cover in class and introduce your fellow students to this technique. Thepresentations will start after Thanksgiving break, but you should start thinking about possibletopics for your project early in the semester and talk to your instructor about ideas suitable forthe project. A project proposal (3 pages maximum) is due on October 27th. The instructor willmeet with each team during the first week of November to finalize the project idea.
Grading. Your course grade will be based on the six case analyses and the case presentation(60%), the group project (25%), and your attendance and participation in class, esp. during theexercises (15%). My grading policy is as follows:93 – 10090 – 9287 – 8983 – 8680 – 8277 – 7970 – 7660 – 690 – 59AAB BBC CDFAcademic integrity, affirmative action & sexual harassment, students with disabilities, andPenn State values.
