Chapter 2. Questions to Ask About an Industry

Even industry leaders such as Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg and Amazon's Jeff Bezos realize that they do not have all the answers. That's why they focus on hiring standout people and asking them tough questions. With this process, it is much easier to get the right solutions.

No doubt a process of rigorous questioning and assessment is useful for just about any effort or project, including the research of an industry. Yet, there are some pitfalls. With the huge amount of information available, it's common to get stuck in the weeds.

In this chapter, we'll take a look at the key questions that will help you to get a handle on the main drivers of an industry and provide a solid foundation for your research.
