4. Why did you choose it?
I choose this post because I am currently taking a course in Market Research and I am learning about the importance of research required for business. The post mentions companies such as The Yankee Group, Infonetics, and Forrester Research who study various industries and technologies. To my surprise, these firms make a profit by specializing in only doing research for other companies. I find it interesting what companies will do for the "right" information. There is so much information out there, it is important to have reputable firms serving the market researching purpose.
