Consumer Care
Today’s consumer is more demanding than in the past, requiring the highest quality products at reasonable cost. Manufacturers of consumer products must target innovation for product line growth and differentiation. Open innovation is an intrinsic part of many innovative consumer companies. They are seeking new ways to define and fulfill unmet market needs.
Often, these companies require assistance in determining the best way to meet their corporate goal of providing innovative products to the consumer market.
