Today, I will just be giving few tips on carrying out a market research. Every business must carry out a market research before starting their business. This will help the business figure out what products to make. The data that you want to obtain should then be determìned. Data can be gotten from the internet, questionnaires, focus groups, surveys, interviews and databases.

The amount of money you will be willing to spend on the research should be determined, that will be one of the factors that influence your decision on the type of data you will be using. Secondary data are readily available since they have been previously collected and can be obtained easily from databases. Primary data are collected directly from the sources through interviews or questionnaires or focus groups. Both primary and secondary sources can be used to obtain data. If you are going to collect data via primary sources the next thing would be to determine your research sample population. This sample must represent the interest of the various groups in your target market.

Afterwards, the data collected should then be processed, analysed and interpreted. Thus, they become the information you need to decide on the type of product you want to make, its quality, its price and others.

Make sure your business is halal. Everything should be done deliberately for the sake of Allah, part of doing something deliberately for the sake of Allah means hoping for a reward from Him. Everything happens according to the will of Allah.

Halal means anything lawful Islamically.

Yet, he allowed women to be entering the part where men enter, seeing women and men walking and passing through the same door. Women praying downstairs with no division between men and women. When I asked him about it, he said it is allowed. How is that allowed. Islam does not encourage the mixing of different sexes. Where ablution is done in the female part is sometimes dirty, when you are suppose to do ablution in a clean place.The toilets there were dirty and they face the qibla. Toilets are not meant to face the qibla according to Islamic law. There is one toilet there that did not face the qibla. A pit latrine, which i find odd why would there be regular toilets and one pit latri...

The world of competence

Hello readers. Today, I will be writing about competence. Competence is the ability that enables a company or an individual to deploy its resources effectively. It is neccessary for a company to have a competence target in all its business activities so as to deliver value to its customers. This will help create a competitive advantage for the company.

With high quality, higher prices can be demanded by the company from customers and the company will also be able to gain the loyalty of the customer. Innovative products whe...
