Task: My topic is on P&G, focused on 'Charmin'. I need help in answering these questions that display the crucial role market research has to play, and also if product managers are using it effectively.
- Does marketing research influence the product's competitive advantage? Why or why not?
- Does market research play a role in the distribution channel decision?
- How is market research incorporated in the advertising stage?
- Include whether or not you believe market research is conducted only at the beginning of the product life cycle and explain your rationale.
