Tough challenges -- most often, that's when companies call in Research Boston. A major new product or marketing initiative, industry realignments, acquisitions, joint ventures, or a business not earning what it should -- these are the kinds of situations that have led clients to us.

Clients report that "original thinking" sets Research Boston apart from other consultants they know. Staying focused on strategic issues, introducing analytical frameworks, and making the extra effort to work from fact rather than supposition are the contributions clients say they value most.

Since 1986, our consulting practice has centered in two areas:

• marketing and strategy for technology companies and technology-driven services, and
• demand forecasting for companies with short-life-cycle products, such as apparel, footwear, and consumer electronics.
