Abstract

Presents the results of quantitative and qualitative market research on the possible acceptance of a non-Intel processor in Compaq Computer's consumer notebook line. If the low-priced, non-Intel notebook is a success, the company will maintain or increase its 45% share of the market. If not, it could cease to be a player in the market it has created and filled. Students must evaluate the reliability of the research and decide which of three products to produce.
