The Behavioural Economics of Big Data

November 28, 2013 by Colin Strong 5 Comments

If there is one thing that behavioural economics has taught us, it’s that none of us is immune from misinterpreting data. Here Colin Strong, Head of Technology Research at GfK, talks about the danger of seeing patterns that might not be there in big data.

What growing consumption demand in africa means for business

Explosive growth in Africans’ disposable income will result in a surge in consumer demand over the next few decades. 

It is a given that Africa’s economic growth over the next few years will be rapid – continued commodity-fuelled growth combined with rents from new energy discoveries and Africa’s role in growing food for an expanding global population will ensure healthy increases in economic output for decades to come.

Speaking the Same Language

Last year, ESOMAR successfully introduced corporate membership. Some of the organisations that joined tell us about the benefits of global associations in an age of changing privacy and quality perceptions. 

In a diverse, sometimes chaotic global marketplace, it helps to streamline standards, set best practices and exchange the latest information. As a global organisation, ESOMAR introduced corporate membership to better serve the increasingly international needs of its members. Indeed, global coverage was a major reason for full-service market research agency SKIM to sign up as a corporate member, says chairman Dirk Huisman. “We have offices in more and more countries and are currently expanding into Latin America, so we need a global approach. We only work for multinational clients, and they expect standardisation. Of course, we’ve also joined local associations, but membership of a global organisation makes it easier for us to work with people worldwide who answer to the highest standards.”
