Hybris AG (IBS 2011 Brazil)
"When I decided to engage the IBS Star team to do a research in Brazil, I was not sure of what exactly to expect. I had a very good impression, had very good feedback from the references provided, but was not sure about what results they would be able to show. Very quickly the team showed that they can deliver real business results, first by quickly identifying the main players relevant for my company and then by actively engaging them. The team was able not only to map the competitive landscape in Brazil, but also to get very precise information on what the market expects of a new entrant as well as to open many doors at potential partners, potential customers and industry influencers. I wholeheartedly recommend working with IBS Star."

Vivid Automotive Data & Media BV (IBS 2011 Brazil)
“The report and conclusions of both students of the RSM, has provided Vivid with a better insight into the Brazilian automotive aftermarket. Some of the information was new and helped to better judge the challenges and opportunities. But even when it was not new, it was still useful as it confirmed our own findings. Without doubt, this report will help Vivid to make an “informed” decision and will allow us to build a strategy for Brazil based on facts rather than hope.”

Philips Healthcare (IBS 2010 Chile)
“We are more than satisfied by the research performed by the IBS team for the Home Healthcare Markets in Chile and Argentina. The detailed reports they send to us, the professionalism showed on it and the positive comments we received from some of our interviewed customers overfulfilled our expectations. For sure we will use their data and their recommendations to plan our future strategy in these territories. I hope to have the opportunity to work together again with them in the future.”

DSM (IBS 2006 Brazil)
“The IBS project can be a “win win” situation for two parties: for the company it is a great possibility to get a substantial part done of the ever so important basic work. Students, on the other hand, can show what they are capable of doing. A close cooperation between those two parties is a condition for success. If managed well the end result can be most rewarding.”
