The researchers in this project did some desk-based research and also face-to-face interviews with different stakeholders in Indonesia. The research brought additional clarity for us in terms of market information and dynamics across the distribution channels.See Chun Kwok - Marketing & Public Affairs Director ROCKWOOL Research Project 2016: Indonesia
The students were able to adapt and quickly gained an understanding of the needs of farmers through intensive field research. After five weeks of study, they presented a thorough and detailed report containing valuable insights that will inform the development and implementation of De Heus’ digital strategy.
