A Day in the Life of a Market Research Analyst in the USA

 World history continues to evolve steadily, meaning that the pace of globalization of all processes taking place in the social and economic sphere increases. We are now able to talk about the global economic area which functions on the global level and is characterized by the active integration processes on the one hand, and the tendencies for regionalization and local socio-economic mechanisms on the other hand. Taking into consideration the current 

socio-economic dynamics, marketing communications, aimed at marketing and selling of goods as well as developing the economic policy of regions and states and optimizing the world economy, start to play an important role in the coordination and development of all economic processes. In the course of marketing communication, which represents systematic relations between the enterprise and the market, marketing experts accumulate the ideas, 

solutions communication details that are then used to stimulate the positive consumer perception of the goods and services. The result of this generalization is a communication set, which is formed with the help of marketing communication instruments devised to be compatible, to meet the target market and enhance sales and consumer awareness. To achieve a desirable external communication effect an organization must have a certain 

Organizational culture appropriate 

management and structure. Otherwise, if the communication programs do not correspond to the corporate spirit, the company will be unable to maintain a stable image for the consumers, shareholders and its staff. As an example we shall analyze the organizational (corporate) culture of the research companies OOO Romir  (“Romir, LLC”) and OOO “Profi reseach” (“Profi reseach, LLC”) and measure their efficiency. The main sphere of these companies is marketing research. The dynamics of the research company “Romir” data obtained during an 

unstructured interview showed the differences in the respondents’ perception of the organizational culture. The main guide for non-formal interview was aimed at revealing the features of the organizational culture of Russian research companies, their nature and type The selection of respondents depended on the total amount of the company employees Romir  5 respondents, Profi research  10 respondents. The interview was conducted by 

Y.V.Plaksina, the master student of the High School of Modern Social Sciences (Lomonosov Moscow State University) as a part of her sociological research in May 2015 (the title of the master thesis is “The specific character of the organizational culture in Russian research companies”, scientific supervisor: Doctor of Science (Dr. hab.), professor N.L.Smakotina). The company “Profi research” showed the lack of significant differences in the respondents’ 

Perception of the organizational culture

which shows the lack of a unified concept of organizational culture, its strong dynamic vibrations. The overall trends were identified in the type of organizational culture when the dynamic performance of the internal level of both companies was compared (the respondents described the “Order” variety of organizational culture The companies were shown to bear resemblance to the “Team” type of culture which can be explained by the type of their 

scientific research. The Club variety of organizational culture was identified as the dominating one in Romir This type of culture can be characterized as loyal There is dedication and harmony between employees and strong teamwork. This type of organizational culture is also marked by stable and safe working conditions, strong promotion of the employees of the older age group, due to their experience and official advantage. 

Career growth is gradual in the company with this kind of cultureIt is expected from the employee that he or she will grasp all the peculiarities of work and master the skills at each new level which is why the employees of such companies often have broader professional horizons. The “academic” type of organizational culture turned out to be dominant in the company “Profi research” which is supposed to be a negative indicator for a research 

Company today The dichotomy between

academic” and “club” type of culture is the most difficult point in the company analysis, as the former is historically typical for Russia, and the latter is more common in Europe. It may be concluded that “Romir” as a more experienced company consciously maintains this type of culture for the purpose of sustaining internal dynamics, motivation of employees and development of their personal and professional competencies, as well as for maintaining the 

rapid pace of growth and development of the whole company. This is in its turn supported by the research companies’ ratings where “Romir” holds the leading position. “Profi research” is characterised by a more traditional view of culture, which causes an imbalance of the main indicators, hampers employee orientation in the internal affairs of the company, limits his or her professional and personal development in many ways. Modern marketing is 

characterized by a significant change in the communication landscape as a result of the emergence of new mixed information technologies and systems that lead to an increase of the incoming information intensity and the amount of marketing communication tools. As a result, various communication sets may compete with each other to attract the attention of the same customers and, therefore, it may be difficult to select the most efficient set of 

Conclusion

communication tools in terms of the impact on consumers. The marketing strategy is to a great extent based on the communicative aspect, that is why the modern marketing sphere is increasingly called ‘integrated marketing communications’, and includes not only direct marketing, but also such types of communicative practices as advertising, public relations, branding, image making and dealing with the media. Advertising is a special form of 

communication technology, and its marketing function is not limited to informing the public. That is why advertising is one of the main means of promoting products or services and one of the main elements of integrated marketing communications. It mainly consists of impersonal forms of communication established through paid media channels. The effective advertising campaign presupposes setting goals, budget setting (which fully depends on the 

financial capacity of the enterprise), development of the effective advertising messages, selection of the appropriate media support, evaluating the proposals for the adjustments in future advertising. Moreover, when the advertising campaign of any institution or company is being developed one should define the target audience, the necessary coverage and frequency of advertising messages, to describe the desired response, because the 

effectiveness of the advertising messages is to a large extent determined by the consumer reaction and feedback. Advertising should convince people to follow the marketing strategy, whose main aim is to sell the desirable product profitably. The advertisement should influence the consumer’s choice and his or her purchase decision. This task of advertising becomes apparent from the definition of advertising, claiming that advertising is a means of informing
