Is IMS / IHS Research Reliable?
Hi, I was looking at IMS market research studies yesterday and the numbers did not match not only my expectations but also the data that I have from the market. I would like to know how much can we rely on this research companies. Please share your thoughts and opinions.
Regards,
AL
