Ad Hoc Research about Markets and Companies

Ad hoc research services

Within the framework of ad hoc research, we analyze current data and figures about markets and companies for our clients. Typical tasks are:

• Rankings: Identifying leading incumbents in a business sector (e.g. Top 10 ranking), making short and long lists using defined criteria
• Company profiles: Creating company profiles containing information on key figures (turnover, employees and productivity measures), products and technologies, organizational structure, management, national and international production sites and sales offices, co-operations and partnerships, strategies, current press releases about the company, strengths and weaknesses, etc.
• Benchmarkings / competition analyses: benchmarkings on key figures, products / services, organization structure etc.
• Potential analyses: Investigating market size and market development in defined target markets (e.g. turnover volume, sales figures, market growth)
• Analyzing the economic framework and macroeconomic trends

Methodology and project processing

RESEARCH-FELLOWS has developed a systematic method for ad hoc research which guarantees best possible results for our clients:

• In a short briefing via email, phone or in person, the client describes the requirements, specifics and time frame of their project. Our project managers check the availability of data for competition analyses, company profiles or potential analyses, confirm whether the analysis can be completed within the given time frame and make an offer at a fixed price. Once details have been finalized and approval has been obtained from the client, our analysts immediately start researching
• Depending on the requirements, our analysts identify all published data and information about markets and companies by carrying out comprehensive desk research (including multilingual system-based Internet research, database research, analysis of market studies, daily newspapers and trade journals, annual business reports, balance sheets and other company or institutional publications). Additional expert interviews with market participants, customers, partners, associations, institutes, universities and other experts provide a deep and detailed insight into the market and relevant companies
• All results are documented systematically and summarized in a research report. Competitive analyses, company profiles or potential analyses are conducted quickly with the results being delivered according to the client’s requirements (PowerPoint presentation, Excel table, etc.)
