Because, without product, market, customer and competition insights, what will your business really be about? Will it be about taking wild guess, taking a plunge or getting lost in a forest? All of these scenarios cannot make a business; they rather break it before its inception! And if it does succeed in today’s business life, rest assured that it’s pure luck!

Ignoring research on product, market, and customers is the easiest way to collapse your business especially in markets with aggressive competition. For example, if a business produces a product without knowing their customers segment, the business eventually will not know what to produce.
