Answer to Question 1

The four possible function research serves in business are:
(1) Foundational - answers basic questions (e,g., What business should we be in?)
(2) Testing - addresses things like new product concepts or promotional ideas (e.g., How effective will they be?)
(3) Issues - examines how specific issues impact the firm (e.g., How does organizational structure impact employee job satisfaction and turnover?)
(4) Performance - monitors specific metrics including financial statistics like profitability and delivery times. They are critical in real-time management and in what-if types of analyses examining the potential impact of a change in policy.
