Assignment:
Question 1. Since this course has emphasized the importance of marketing research as a tool for management, please provide your perspective on this area. As a marketing manager or a non-marketing member of management, how do you think the marketing research area can best be utilized?

How can research be abused?
Can you think of any personal situations where professional ethics were broached?
Question 3. "Not everything that counts can be counted, and not everything that can be counted counts." ---Albert Einstein.
