    Organization Choice:
    1. Organizations should be of sufficient scale to produce the best results. However, don’t take on too large an organisation that affects your ability to gain meaningful research data in enough depth.
    2. As a guide, try to avoid choosing:
                  Very small companies (less than 5 employees)
                  Very larger organizations (more than 5,000 employees)
    3. This will enable you to offer proposals that reasonable opportunities to create new and meaningful competitive advantages.
