Homework: Assumed Assumptions
Introduction:
The future of healthcare marketing is promising; however, balancing strategies with tactics is a controversial topic. Some argue that healthcare marketing initiatives must rely on empirical evidence to produce desired results, while others posit that classic intuition is the most effective driving force of successful initiatives. As the industry continues to advance, this debate will continue to grow, and with it, the potential risks for leaders associated with healthcare marketing will also grow.

From the South University Online Library, read the following articles:
1) Healthcare Marketers Point the Way to Marketing's Future
2) We Talk of Big Data a Lot. But I Believe Marketing Is Also about Intuition
3) Limiting Risk in Healthcare Marketing

Proffer whether you would rely on empirical research or personal perceptions and intuition in the decision-making process as it relates to healthcare marketing.

How can healthcare professionals limit potential risks in healthcare marketing?
