Research is the key to the successful launch of a business, product or service. It is also critical for customer satisfaction and forging strategic partnerships that are crucial for the survival of a business venture.

Customer profiling, definition of needs, identification of trends and problems all call for research and most businesses do carry out surveys and interview people for this purpose.
