Notes for MKTG 329
Home Up

Students:  Here are the PowerPoint slides we will be using this semester in MKTG 329.  I do not lecture over every chapter, so some chapters are "read only" (for example, Chapter 1).

These slides are coordinated with Burns and Bush's Marketing Research, 5th edition.  In total, there are 230 slides/pages of material here specifically for students enrolled in MKTG 329 - "Marketing Research" at Western Illinois University.  Please do not copy or distribute these notes without my written approval.  Thanks!
