Assessment 3: Data analysis and reporting

Due: 11:55 pm, Sunday, Week 13 (online submission)

Value 40 marks

This assessment intends to elevate your ability to make sense of data and solve marketing problems and support marketing decision making. You have to work

individually and prepare a comprehensive report on the findings of your data analysis, interpret the results. You have to identify and apply appropriate analytical

strategies to address a set of research questions (or problems) a manager of a firm (here the lecturer) has developed. The data for this task has been supplied by the

lecturer. The word length for the “data analysis and report” is 3000 words +/- 10%.

No extensions will be granted. There will be a deduction of 5% of the total marks awarded mark for each 24 hour period or part thereof that the submission is late (for

example, 25 hours late in submission – 20% penalty).

How to report analysis result?

Follow these steps:

1- Data cleaning, outliers and missing values 2- Frequency analysis and getting charts only for demographic information 3- Descriptive analysis, mean and SD of the item, normality test ( skewness and kurtosis for all items); You are required to put the table for

descriptive analysis in the appendix, however you must interpret/explain the findings of descriptive within the body of the assignment) 4- Preliminary analysis:

a) Reliability (cronbach alpha and CR) and convergent validity (factor loading and AVE). Design a table to report the findings and this table must be placed within the body of the assignment

b) Correlation analysis table (correlation and discriminant validity); this table must be placed within the body of the assignment

5- Hypotheses testing: You have to run the regression that address the hypothesised relationship and clearly present those results in tables; this table must be placed within the body of the assignment

Interpretation of findings: In every step of data analysis and based on the result you get from SPSS, you have to interpret the result and say what those results mean. Use the write-up samples in the lecture slides but please don’t copy and paste. If you go to the methodology section of different quantitative articles, you would find various ways to report the findings.

Important notes:

You have to include all of the SPSS output as an appendix to the report. Reference list and these appendixes are not included in the word count.
