GOAL OF THE PROJECT
The goal of the project is to provide a market segmentation framework for a specific product market. The framework must include:
Identifying and naming TWO market segments within the market.

PRODUCT MARKET
The specific product forming the focus of the market segmentation analysis will be announced in class.
