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.

For the purpose of planning, marketing researchers seek to answer questions regarding three essential sets of information, corresponding to the measurable types of variables in the marketing system: situational variables, marketing mix variables, and performance measures.
