...Marketing research definition: It is a development interpretation and communication of decision oriented information used in the strategic planning process. Steps for NEW products: 1. Idea generation 2. Screening ideas 3. Business analysis 4. Pro- type development 5. Test marketing 6. Commercialization Idea generation: The PIC should then direct the search for new-product ideas. Idea generation should be systematic rather than haphazard. Otherwise, although the company will find many ideas, most will not be good ones for its type of business. A company typically has to generate many ideas in order to find a few good ones. A recent survey Irproduet managers found that of 100 proposed new product ideas, 39 begin the product development process, 17 survive the development process, 8 actually reach the marketplace and only 1 eventually reaches its business objectives.7 To obtain a flow of new-product ideas, the company can tap many sources. Chief sources of new-product ideas include internal sources, customers, competitors, distributors and suppliers. * Internal Sources * Customers * Competitors * Distributors, Suppliers and Others Screening ideas: The purpose of idea generation is to create a large number of ideas. The purpose of the succeeding stages is to reduce that number to a manageable few which deserve further attention. The first idea-reducing stage is idea screening. The purpose of screening is to spot good ideas...

...Business ethics 1. Assignment 1: Questions 1) Analyzing the ethical frameworks needed in decision making, which ones best align to the eight ethical principles of the Global Business Standards of Codex. Without doubt, there always exists a dilemma when company decisions are being made. It is for this reason that ethical frameworks are utilized to ensure that appropriate decisions are made in the organization. Ethics.ubc argues that ethical frameworks act like “snake detectors.” They are there to ensure that “snakes” in the organization are easily recognized before they bite. In layman’s language, they offer guidance when making decisions. Some of the ethical frameworks put forward include: * The utilitarian approach * Rights approach * Fairness approach * Common good approach * Virtue approach Utilitarian approach This approach basically focuses on the consequences of a particular action (capsim.com). For example, it considers whether an action will eventually lead to greater good than other related actions. Therefore, the most ethical decision to be made will be that which will offer maximum benefits. Rights approach In this approach, the most ethical decision to be made will have utmost respect and protection for human rights (capism.com). In this case, people have the right to make their own decisions and everyone ought to be respected in the decisions they make. Fairness approach Just as the name suggests, fairness...
