My Groups' Hypotheses:

My groups' hypotheses are: 1) Companies are able to succeed through the overall quality of their services and their marketing. 2) The snowboard industry is too resistant to become mainstream and advertise to people who are not dedicated snowboarders. 3) Successful Grills/Steakhouses are successful because of location and the chefs ability to make new and creative food. 4) Marketing/Strategic advertising affects the income of an industry. 5) Research based investments help make businesses successful.
