Benefits of being an expert at research

One of the most difficult things to do in every era is the ability to conduct thorough research about a given topic.

For example marketing for your business requires research, learning how to create a Wikipedia page for your company and using it to your advantage requires research and what products to produce requires in depth market research. So, are there any industries where research isn’t important?
