Description:

A practical hands-on guide, this book covers database marketing, surveys, and other data sources for businesses. Each chapter introduces a method or model and ends with a detailed tutorial that guides students through an analysis of a real case. The book takes a data mining approach yet readers are encouraged to consider the substantive business problem rather than taking a purely exploratory approach to customer analytics. The text is suitable for advanced undergraduate or Master's courses on marketing studying customer analytics, data mining for marketing, database marketing, marketing analytics, or business intelligence.
