And, keeping the ethical aspects in mind, what safeguards do you think that you would employ to protect those?
(2) As you can easily tell, ethics is a major component in the world of marketing research. What are the responsibilities of the 1) research provider and 2) research user, ie, the marketing manager?
How can research be abused?
