Marketing information systems consist of people, equipment, and processes that gather, analyze, and distribute market data to aid marketing decisions. They have input subsystems that collect internal data from accounting systems and external data from marketing research and intelligence. Output subsystems provide information on products, places, promotion, prices, and marketing mixes to users. Consumer behavior research studies how, why, when, and where people buy products and the factors like culture, social groups, and psychology that influence purchasing. Marketers implement strategies through marketing mixes and control results by measuring performance and making adjustments.
