Abstract The Internet poses both threat and opportunity for the world's leading market research firms. It is a threat in that it allows smaller companies to carry out research at a low cost; the findings of which may become increasingly credible the more Internet penetration grows. But opportunities lie in the rapid growth in the number of clients - from dotcom startups and clicks-and-mortar corporations to Internet service providers and online advertisers - who all need intelligence on the effectiveness of their online marketing. The first battleground is audience measurement. Here, rival groups are preparing to slug it out globally - among them the world's biggest market research company, AC Nielsen. Nielsen has built up a 9000-strong panel in the UK (90,000 worldwide, and growing fast) of Internet users who have special software loaded on to their PCs that records every Web page they visit. Pitched against Nielsen in the audience measurement market are MMXI and Net Value.
