Job Details

The awards are available in the subject area of “Using data and analytics for better marketing decisions”.

Dramatically improved access to relevant data poses both opportunities and challenges for contemporary companies as they strive to use the data effectively in their strategic and tactical decision-making. As analytics already plays an important role in identifying market trends, predicting demand, automating customer value management and setting prices, for example, increasing number of companies are trying to make the most of the data available to them. At the same time, relatively little is known about effectiveness of marketing analytics deployment, as well as about best practices and key barriers for deployment of data and analytics for key marketing tasks: value creation and value capture. To these ends, potential questions for this PhD topic include: How effective UK companies are in deploying data and analytics in their marketing decision-making? What are good data-driven firms doing particularly well, and what are the key organisational barriers for deployment of data and analytics? What is the new skillset required from marketing professionals in contemporary firms, and how UK higher education could better respond to these needs? 

Research in this subject area is currently undertaken by members of the Department of Digital and Data-driven Marketing
