The
Need for Market Information
Nearly
every marketing manager or business unit executive seeks to know more
about their markets. However they often rely solely on internal or published
sources, which, while helpful, can be biased, incomplete, and contradictory.
This lack of information typically results in indecision or, worst,
poor decision-making.
