Determining the Need for Information Research

• Questions a decision maker should ask:– Can the problem and/or opportunity be resolved using

existing information and managerial judgment?– Is adequate information available within the company’s

internal systems to address the problem?– Is there enough time to conduct the necessary research

before the final managerial decision must be made?– Do the benefits of having the additional information

outweigh the costs of gathering the information?– Will the research provide useful feedback for decision

making?– Will this research give our competitors too much

information about our marketing strategy?
