Viability of Blount ships
Research plan
The research in this case was aimed at seeking relevant information about Blount ships with regard to popularity, competition, price, demographics, and demand. The applied methods of data collection included questionnaires and also interviews. These facilitated relevant information attainment which was applied in coming up with suitable conclusions.
