  2. Step 1: Review your assignment • In this assignment you will work in teams of two on the particular decision of coming up with a new product concept that makes both money and a better world, and gather and persuasively present evidence that there will be demand for your proposed new product. 

  3. The SalmApple! = $$!

  4. Why don’t you want to find a report telling you everything you need to know about the SamApple market?

  5. The Research Process • Choose a research question • Come up with sub-questions • Identify likely publishers • Search and cycle your search • Write your report

  6. Step 2: Come up with sub-questions • ACTIVITY: With your neighbour/s brainstorm sub-questions for our market demand • Customers: How much salmon and apples are people currently buying? • Competition: Who else is producing enhanced apple products, what is the market share? • Economic conditions: Is this a luxury product, or an economical product? • Regulatory environment: Are the rules that will prevent distribution of our GMO product to certain countries or regions?
