Assumptions are dangerous when considering markets and before targets can be set it may be necessary to understand the industry in question. Many companies consider Europe to be one, homogeneous market, but in fact, within the European Union, there are now twenty-five countries and twenty official languages encompassing major differences in culture and in economic and political systems.

The Value of Research
