A mismatch is evident between academia and leading marketing research practitioners in their use of mixed methods research (MMR). Reviews find few marketing papers in leading journals reporting MMR (Hanson & Grimmer 2007; Harrison & Reilly 2011; Davis et al. 2011). Likewise, our content analysis of leading textbooks in marketing research finds little attention to MMR, except in specialist MMR texts such as Tashakkori & Teddlie (2010) and Creswell (2014). Despite greater time pressures typical in commercial settings, MMR is becoming the norm in major companies and agencies, raising important questions for marketing researchers and educators.

Our seminar aims to: 1) Examine academic and industry perspectives on MMR; 2) Illustrate uses of MMR in commercial marketing research; 3) Present a framework for understanding drivers of MMR in practice; 4) Assess parallels/mismatches between industry and academic practices; 5) Discuss implications for marketing researchers, educators, and managers.

We draw from a series of in-depth interviews with senior UK insight directors, telephone interviews, and a preliminary survey of US marketing insight directors.
