Seasoned experts and new researchers alike hit various roadblocks while digging into difficult research questions. This new series sponsored by the Financial Services Section will examine the often repeated, difficult research questions with guidance on approaches to research techniques and sources, in addition to ways you can add value for your client. Interactive in nature, we welcome additional suggestions in the comments.
