In every business project, the research team will face some challenges. Team A experienced a few challenges while observing Hillary Urgent Care and Trump Emergency Department. The team wanted to find out what effect the waiting time in both facilities had on the satisfaction of the customers. Research and data were collected. Conducting research is an integral part of being any project.
