  • A thorough analysis of the three stages of concept research: generation, diagnosis, and evaluation; and,
  • A simplified design-chain outlining the essential steps and factors inherent in concept research.

Research in the Twilight Zone is a brief yet thoroughly researched and highly accessible text that emphasizes the importance of concept research and its processes. It will prove highly valuable to market researchers, managers, and businesses of any size in the efficient and profitable execution of products and ideas.
