· Compare and contrast the Five-Step Process with two alternative methods for conducting marketing research. What are the pros and cons of each?
· Define what it means to differentiate a service and provide an example to illustrate how the local nonprofit charity in the scenario can use the strategy to help increase target market interest.
· Explain how differentiation will help position the organization.
