Research plays a very important role in decision making and solving managerial problems. Without research there is less possibility of understanding concepts and gaining knowledge. Research guidelines help in understanding the various governmental policies which help in making plans. For managers research is everything because they need to gain resources and data which they would need to analyze and understand. Managers need to research on the competitors and how the others are doing in the marketplace in terms of sales volume, tactics, strategies, product quality, services to customers and the prices and value of the goods and services(Bennett, 1974). If managers do not conduct the research properly there can be lack of proper information, data and understanding of the market situation.
