Business Research
Business research is a process of acquiring detailed information related to all the areas of business and using such information in maximizing the sales and profit of an organisation. In simple words, it can be stated as the acquisition of information or knowledge for professional or commercial purpose to determine opportunities and goals for a business. It involves studying people as buyers, sellers, and consumers by examining their attitudes, preferences, habits, and purchasing power. Business research is also concerned with the channels of distribution, with promotion and pricing, and with the design of the products and services to be marketed.
