SOUTHBOROUGH, Mass. - Oct. 1, 2013 - PRLog -- Market Research departments as profit centers is a controversial topic, and one that will be presented by Kathryn Korostoff at the 2013 Corporate Researchers Conference (CRC). Founder and President of Research Rockstar LLC (http://training.researchrockstar.com/), Korostoff willcover the ways in which market research departments can be recast as profit enters in order to challenge conventional thinking about market research’s value, resource allocation and efficiency.
