Description

Five sessions on how a company works out who to sell to — and why a confident conclusion from good arithmetic can still be wrong.

Fernvale Foods is launching Ridge Crunch, a roasted chickpea snack. Your student plans the research, fixes a survey full of leading questions, then analyzes 400 responses and recommends a target market.

Then the unit reveals how those responses were collected, and the whole confident conclusion has to be reconsidered. That sequence teaches more about data than any warning would.

Ends with a buyer persona built from the data rather than from imagination.
