The pizza delivery business is very competitive, with both local businesses and national chains competing for a $28.5 billion U.S. consumer market annually. Many of the delivery pizzas ordered in the United States each year are purchased by young adults and teenagers. Papa John’s, a 2,700-unit national pizza restaurant chain, believed it could capture more market share if it could find a way to make ordering and delivery easier and more appealing to the technologically savvy members of the younger segment. And if it could do so, it could compete more effectively with larger national companies such as Pizza Hut and Domino’s. In early 2008, Papa John’s introduced a new marketing and ordering channel designed to attract younger consumers, rolling out a new service so customers could order pizza from a cell phone or PDA via text message.

The president of a small chain of women’s clothing stores was concerned about a four-year trend of decreasing profits. The stores have been characterized as being rather conservative over the years with respect to their product line, store decor, and advertising. They have consistently avoided trendy clothes, for example. Their market is now becoming extremely competitive because several aggressive fashion stores are expanding and are aiming at the young, fashion-conscious buyer. As a result of this competition and the disappointing profit trend, the president is considering making the product line appear less conservative and more oriented toward the young buyer. Before making such a risky change, the president feels it prudent to conduct some marketing research to learn the exact status of his chain. What should be the research purpose? Compose a set of research questions that would be helpful.
