MARKET & COMPETITIVE ANALYSIS

For a market and competitive analysis to be effective, it must be credible, logical and actionable.

Market and competitive analysis is the collection, analysis and interpretation of real-world data to yield a deep and thorough understanding of the characteristics and dynamics of customers and competitors within a marketplace. The purpose of any research activity is to help our clients make informed, fact-based decisions regarding potential issues and opportunities by providing insight into the nature of their strategic landscapes.

To ensure that our analyses are practical, AssetEconomics has developed a rigorous methodology with these elements::

• Hypothesis Development – Specifically identify issues and/or opportunities to be explored, succinctly state the question(s) to be addressed and develop several hypotheses to be tested
• Research Design – Define the scope of research including type of research (e.g., qualitative, quantitative), scale of research (e.g., number of interviews to be conducted) and analysis approach (e.g., regression, forecasting)
• Data Collection – Employ both quantitative (e.g., phone surveys, mail surveys, database searches) and qualitative (e.g., focus groups, telephone interviews, literature searches) techniques, as appropriate, to collect primary and secondary data
• Analysis and Interpretation – Evaluate data using a variety of analytical techniques (e.g., regression analysis, conjoint analysis) to test hypotheses, interpret findings and provide recommendations
