This document summarizes the key stages of the business research process:
1) Problem discovery and definition involves identifying an opportunity or issue and clearly defining the research objectives.
2) Research design determines the appropriate research method such as surveys, experiments, or secondary data analysis.
3) Data gathering involves sampling, collection of primary or secondary data.
4) Data analysis and processing interprets the findings.
5) Conclusions and reporting communicates the research results and recommendations. The goal is to reduce uncertainty and focus business decision making.

Defination, types, importance of research methods. Characteristics, methods of research, Qualitative & Quantitative research, Objectives of research, difference of research methods, research in pharmacy, criteria for good research
Methodology is the systematic, theoretical analysis of the methods applied to a field of study.
It comprises the theoretical analysis of the body of methods and principles associated with a branch of knowledge.
Methodology is useful to guide and help in order to obtain the objectives of a research project.
This consists of the purpose, assumptions, limitations, philosophy, strategy, data collection method, sampling method, scaling, data analysis, validity and reliability of the research.
The methodological choices reported give guidelines for the way which should collect necessary information for this study investigation and analyzing matters.
Part of a course I run introducing quantitative methods. One of the slideshows on my site www.kevinmorrell.org.uk please reference the site if you use any of it - hope it is useful.
Definition
A procedure used to collect both qualitative and quantitative data.
This is done due to the fact that it is believed that both types of studies will provided a clearer understanding of what is being studied.
“It consists of merging ,integrating ,linking ,or embedding the two “strands””(Ceswell,2012).

In the Adani-Hindenburg case, what is SEBI investigating.pptxAdani case
Adani SEBI investigation revealed that the latter had sought information from five foreign jurisdictions concerning the holdings of the firm’s foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) in relation to the alleged violations of the MPS Regulations. Nevertheless, the economic interest of the twelve FPIs based in tax haven jurisdictions still needs to be determined. The Adani Group firms classed these FPIs as public shareholders. According to Hindenburg, FPIs were used to get around regulatory standards.

Exploratory Research Descriptive Research Causal Research
(Unaware of Problem) (Aware of Problem) (Problem Clearly Defined)
³Our sales are declining and ³What kind of people are buying ³Will buyers purchase more of
we don¶t know why.´ our product? Who buys our our products in a new package?
competitor¶s product?´
³Would people be interested ³Which of two advertising
in our new product idea?´ ³What features do buyers prefer campaigns is more effective?´
in our product?´
7. Exploratory Research
‡ Initial research conducted to clarify and
define the nature of a problem
‡ Does not provide conclusive evidence
‡ Subsequent research expected

10. Descriptive Research Example
‡ Weight Watchers average customer
‡ Woman about 40 years old
‡ Household income of about $50,000
‡ At least some college education
‡ Trying to juggle children and a job
11. Descriptive Research Example
‡ Men¶s fragrance market
‡ 1/3 size of women¶s fragrance market
‡ But growing at a faster pace
‡ Women buy 80 % of men¶s fragrances
13. Identifying Causality
‡ A causal relationship is impossible to prove.
‡ Evidence of causality:
± 1. The appropriate causal order of events
± 2. Concomitant variation--two phenomena
vary together
± 3. An absence of alternative plausible
explanations
