  1. I enjoyed reading this article. However I have a question. How does one conduct market research for a business that is the first of its kind. In this situation, a needs analysis has been done. So the over arching issue the business has been created to solve has been recognized; but the manner in which the business needs to be conducted needs more clarity from its end users. What type of research can be done for this purpose.

    • It can be done through surveys, product testing, and focus groups. Test subjects are usually compensated with product samples or paid a small stipend for their time. Market research is a critical component in the research and development (R&D) of a new product or service.

      • Creative thinkers are not necessarily innovators or entrepreneurial leaders. It takes an entrepreneurial leader to create an economic value and aggregate resources (human and non-human) to bring about a transformation through innovation.
