The quality of the research depends on the questions you ask. It can be helpful for gathering ideas about functionality, but using it to dictate aesthetics just means you will never create anything really original since the research can only investigate what is and not what might yet be. The Art of Design article would definitely help businesses ask the right questions in their research to give designers a starting place from which to create. Putting both together definitely adds perspective.

As I commonly believe that a Design is created to meet the needs of its consumer. And a Good Design is created to meet the hidden needs of its consumers. Hence, the importance of Design Research. Event if it means sitting in a crowded area, office, room, etc and observing what people's activities around you for the whole day.
