Discussion Question
If market research is so important, why do many companies NOT conduct research?
Answer: The basic answer is that they are poor marketers. They do not feel that they have the time or the resources for research. Companies must realize there are cost effective methods of research, especially with the use of the Internet. In addition, they have a plethora of research data in their internal databases and through their distribution network.
