Several years ago, SwissAir made some unwise investments to pay for a planned expansion. As a result, the company had to make some cost-cutting moves that alienated its customers. Eventually, the company declared bankruptcy, regrouped, and found itself able to resume business. Its board of directors recently announced that the company would resume flying if it could prove that the airlines could regain at least 75 percent of its lost customers. It decided to allocate $50,000 to determine the likelihood that its former customers would fly on the airline again and what methods requiring little or no money could be used to increase that probability. This description represents which stage in the marketing research approach?
A. define the problem
B. develop the research plan
C. collect relevant information
D. develop findings
E. take marketing actions
