This overriding impact of marketing information is so obvious that every trained marketing manger made deliberated efforts to generate analyzes and reliable marketed related information.

Marketing research and making information system are concered with information gathering. According to the American marketing association (A.M.A) marketing research is the systematic gathering recording and analyzing of data about problems relating to the marketing of goods and services.

A major weakness of this definition is that it implicitly ignores the fact that not only marketing research analyzes and solves problems but identify them. Secondly, it has been criticized for not being clear on the goals of marketing. A short but acceptable definition sees marketing research as a formalize decision.

Secondly, it is a formalized or systematic means of obtaining the needed information. This is the process in either accident happened but deliberate and organized. It is systematic in the sense of following a defined and three tested procedure.

Thirdly, following closely from the second observation is the fact that marketing research seeks observation objectively, in so doing the marketing research process aim at being scientific in the sense of finding out what is although the information generated is expected among other thing to help determine what should be.

1.1 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

It has often said that new product suddenly succeed in the market . this is not  far from the truth , however many new products that meet the demands of the customer cannot in  any way fail furthermore those that piad do as die to their inability to meet the needs of consumer by so doing they come face to face with tool rejection thereby leading to the failure.

Firstly, marketing research and marketing information system are concerned with information gathering according to the America marketing association (AMA). Marketing research is the systematic gathering recording and anal sizing of data about problems relating to the marketing of good  and services A major weakness of this definition is that it implicitly ignores the face that not only marketing researcher analyze and  solve problems but the identify them.

Secondly, marketing research and marketing information system it has also been suggested that while in focused on information generation marketing information to marketing decision makers

Thirdly, marketing research it would be appear in more of a curative medicine a marketing system is both curative  and preventive.

Finally marketing research is a part and parcel of an organization marketing information  system sincer the lather is much broader in scope for any marketing organization to successes it need a regular supply of current and information for marketing decision

An analysis of the impact of marketing information system in new product development and planning is located at 13 road aba abia state . it was in corporate as saclux industrial ltd on the 21st February 1940 by the parts through the founder was Robert William in paints industries liability company quoted on the Nigeria stock exchange since 1973 with Nigerians current having  50% equality holdays.
