When Research May NOT Help
- When weighing alternatives and arent sure which
one to choose - When there is conflict within the organization
over some policy, objective, or strategy - When you detect symptoms of a problem, such as
declining market share or weakening distribution
power - When a marketing program is going well, and you
want to know why - When you lack information to make a marketing
decision - When you undertake something different
- When you honestly know what you need to know
without research - When the information already exists
- When time is an enemy
- When conducting research would tip your hand to a
competitor - When a test doesnt represent future conditions
- When the budget is insufficient to do an adequate
job - When research findings would not affect the
management decision

10There are many reasons for not doing marketing
research.
Research is just a bunch of boring numbers and
charts.
Research costs too much.
Can you afford to do marketing research?
You cant afford not to.
My competitors dont do research either.
Research companies dont understand my business.
I already know the answer from my gut.
