The ARC Research Information Series:
Industries At The Crossroads

There is no escaping it . . . new technologies, aggressive competitors and evolving consumer segments, each with their own lifestyles, interests and needs . . . business is changing . . . fast! Change is inevitable for organizations that take an aggressive posture regarding the dynamic nature of the business environment in which they function. For many industries however, change cannot be viewed as marginal; it is fundamental to their mode of operation.

In such evolving business environments, managers must be more than simply receptacles for information pertaining to their particular area of responsibility. They must expand their outlook by employing appropriate market research data gathering protocols in order to empower the organization to recognize the keys to change, and how to maximize the positive potential of change within their particular business environment.

This forms the basis for the ARC Research Information Series: Industries At The Crossroads - Providing a focused resource regarding key issues affecting some of America's most dynamic business segments.
