Bus/Financial - Business/Commerce (general)
German term or phrase: Markt- und Datenerfassung
It is simply listed as a subject on a Diplomzeugnis (for a Diplom-Wirtschaftsingenieurin) I've only managed to come up with "market surveying and data acquisition". Any better suggestions?

Explanation:
For what it's worth: I think your translation is fine - anything else that I could come up with would only be slightly different (and probably not better).

agree  Kim Metzger: Or data collection: http://www.business.com/directory/advertising_and_marketing/... - the plum pudding's ready to eat but I've got to wait till Sunday dinner.

  -> That was my first thought too and that is about the only change I would have made (that's slight in my book). Either way, I think it'll be fine. Thanks, Kim - it's good to see you back. How's the pudding coming along? :-)
