One of the critical elements of the marketing research is the test market. For the Ajax pot pie there would be a combination of both quantitative and qualitative research done. This decision is based on the fact the methods are most beneficial when used together. According to Essentials of Marketing Research, qualitative research is research that addresses marketing objectives through techniques that allow the researcher to provide elaborate interpretations of market phenomena without depending on numerical measurement. The focus is on discovering true inner meaning and new insights. Quantitative research is marketing research that addresses research objectives through empirical assessments that involve numerical measurement and analysis. Because qualitative research is less structured, I would use this research method first. We learned earlier that it was the president of the company who came up with the idea of the pot pie. He wanted to increase the width of the product line to include chicken pies in the grocery stores’ “hot deli” section (where the store 's rotisserie chickens, ribs, soup, etc. are sold). Because of this, there is an increasing concern that the research needs to be transparent. An outside agency is an independent research firm that is contracted by the company that will offer a fresh perspective and not be constrained by groupthink. Qualitative research already has an element of subjectivity so it is important to have the research done by an

In order to effectively undertake market research on customer behaviour; such as expected prices, how they react to certain methods of research and what kind of care do the customers expect after the purchase is made, it would be best to use observation along with focus groups. Surveys, if used, should be done face to face by door knocking as it is more convenient and has a high response rate.

In The Marketing Plan Handbook, Chernev gives a simplified approach to writing marketing plans. It outlines the basic principles of writing a marketing plan and it puts emphasis on marketing as a value-management process. It incorporates the relevant aspects of the business, such as the financial, operational, technological and organizational aspects. Chernev states that marketing plans do not have to be lengthy but should contain need-to-know information and not so much nice-to-know information which is not directly related to the decision at hand and is rarely actionable. He breaks down the marketing plan in eight parts: executive summary, situation analysis, goal, strategy,
