Profiling Accurate Segmentation Structures in Rural Communities. The proposed project has two aims - one aim is applied and pertains to Australia's rural community, and a second is methodological and pertains to methods of segmenting populations in a variety of contexts. These aims are 1) to identify a valid basis for segmenting Australia's rural community based on their choice behaviour and individual characteristics; and 2) to develop and test a staged approach for inferring market segments u ....Profiling Accurate Segmentation Structures in Rural Communities. The proposed project has two aims - one aim is applied and pertains to Australia's rural community, and a second is methodological and pertains to methods of segmenting populations in a variety of contexts. These aims are 1) to identify a valid basis for segmenting Australia's rural community based on their choice behaviour and individual characteristics; and 2) to develop and test a staged approach for inferring market segments utilising a joint approach which simultaneously accounts for individual characteristics and choice behaviour that is informed by non-parametric classification techniques to account for a variety of sources of heterogeneity, not just preference heterogeneity.Read moreRead less
New methods for analysing marketing Databases in the age of digital media. This is a time of enormous and rapid change in many areas of Australian business due to the introduction and widespread dissemination of digital media. It has resulted in the accumulation of large integrated databases of customer information and their transactions.

This is a time of enormous and rapid change in many areas of Australian business due to the introduction and widespread dissemination of digital media. It has resulted in the accumulation of large integrated databases of customer information and their transactions. Firms in all countries, particularly those challenged by distance and size, like Australia, are now seeking to find ways to make better use of their voluminous information so as to make efficiency gains in their business processes, strategic decision-making and customer relationship management. Our project aims to contribute to the ARC priority research goal of smart information use by developing new methodologies for the analysis of these large integrated databases.Read moreRead less

Harnessing Business Insights from Unstructured Customer Data. Resulting from customers’ widespread uptake of online channels to buy and communicate has been a surge in online reviews and social media posts. This textual information offers a viable alternative to surveys that Australian businesses currently conduct to obtain customer insights. However, these reviews are unstructured and require substantial pre-processing to extract underlying customer perceptions. Therefore, this project aims to ....Harnessing Business Insights from Unstructured Customer Data. Resulting from customers’ widespread uptake of online channels to buy and communicate has been a surge in online reviews and social media posts. This textual information offers a viable alternative to surveys that Australian businesses currently conduct to obtain customer insights. However, these reviews are unstructured and require substantial pre-processing to extract underlying customer perceptions. Therefore, this project aims to develop a novel machine learning approach to quantify the business-relevant information contained in textual information shared by customers online. This alternative approach will provide significant cost-saving benefits for a range of Australian companies, such as retailers, hotels, airlines and restaurants.Read moreRead less
Econometric Models for Marketing Decision Making. This project aims to develop methods to more efficiently allocate marketing resources across a range of media, including new media, such as the internet and social media, and compare them with with traditional media such as television and newspapers. To achieve this, the project will develop new methods and econometric models that employ data that capture both exposure to advertising media and downstream purchases at the individual-level.

This project aims to develop methods to more efficiently allocate marketing resources across a range of media, including new media, such as the internet and social media, and compare them with with traditional media such as television and newspapers. To achieve this, the project will develop new methods and econometric models that employ data that capture both exposure to advertising media and downstream purchases at the individual-level. The expected outcome is that Australian companies will make more efficient use of their marketing budget, and better assess how to integrate new and old media into multimedia marketing communication campaigns.Read moreRead less
Innovative Use of Customer Data for Business Growth. This project aims to apply and adapt the latest machine learning techniques to enable companies to utilise their existing customer data to reveal purchase motivations, product preferences, and responsiveness to marketing communications for each single customer.

This project aims to apply and adapt the latest machine learning techniques to enable companies to utilise their existing customer data to reveal purchase motivations, product preferences, and responsiveness to marketing communications for each single customer. A widespread practice in marketing is to partition customers into broad groups, but customers expect products and services that are tailored to their individual needs. This presents extreme challenges due to the size and complexity of customer databases. The expected outcomes will enable Australian companies to attract and retain more customers, and make more efficient use of their marketing budget. Benefits include equipping companies to better compete domestically and globally.Read moreRead less
