so, tell us, what is the purpose market research? Let me guess, TO GAUGE DEMAND???? No reason to make widgets if there is no demand for widget is there. The research is to determine if there is a market demand for them...

A perfect example of the model I describe is the Segway. When the Segway came out no one even knew what it was.it was know as the 'It' no one knew what it was until they announced it? Yet investment created the product not the consumer

LOL, use an utter marketing and demand failure to support your premise, good one. You cannot "invent" demand.

you have created zero NEW jobs so far, market research firms existed before you thought of your widget scheme. you only gave them a few days of work to figure out your widget idea is a failure, no demand, over supply.

You are incorrect there was no market research on the segway as it was being made

lol, are you talking about widgets or segways, because you spent a while talking about your widgets, hench my reply.

now if you wanta talk market research on SOMEONE ELSE'S product, the segaway (the product who's inventor thought it could fly), it appears that MARKET RESEARCH was seriously lacking there. Segway PT - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Perfect business strategy!!!!!

Start a business with no money, take orders and pre-payments for my future product and when I get enough orders to pay for the parts I can hire people to produce the complete product. I will hire people will accept IOU's instead of a paycheck during production then I will fulfill your orders.
Anyone here willing to accept an IOU instead of a paycheck?


If you believe that consumers create jobs then why don't you create their own job?
