Case Study—business expansion into a new market/acquisitions target list
At Plunkett Research, we conducted an extensive study for an industry-leading, global manufacturer. Our task was multi-faceted and complex. In particular, we sought exacting information about services and products provided to hospitals and clinics in the US and EU. We worked with the Client to determine market opportunities and go-to-market strategies. The work included numerous, in-depth interviews with end-users who direct specialty departments at hospitals.
