Chapter1-BusinessResearch.pptx
The document discusses research in business. It defines research as a process of studying and analyzing problems to find solutions. Business research specifically refers to investigating workplace issues in a systematic way.

Managers use both types of research to address issues related to employees, operations, marketing, and more. The summary also outlines some key distinctions and considerations regarding internal vs. external research.
Business Research
The document discusses research design and its types. It begins by defining research design as the conceptual framework for conducting research that includes plans for collecting and analyzing data. There are different types of research designs such as exploratory, descriptive, causal/experimental based on the nature and purpose of the study. Exploratory design is used to gain a deeper understanding of a problem and provide direction for more structured research in the future. It involves flexible qualitative methods like interviews and is not intended to test hypotheses. The purpose is to explore and define the research problem, variables, and potential relationships to study.

Research Methology for midwifery students .pptx
Research methodology involves developing clear objectives to guide the research process. Objectives can be general, providing an overall aim, or specific, outlining measurable steps. Developing objectives involves reviewing literature to identify gaps addressed by the research. Good objectives are specific, measurable, achievable, relevant and time-bound. This helps ensure the research gathers appropriate evidence to answer the research question and address the problem.

Classical conditioning involves learning through association. Ivan Pavlov's dogs learned to associate the sound of a bell with food. They began to salivate in response to the bell alone.

Reinforcement increases behaviors by adding or removing stimuli, while punishment decreases behaviors through similar means.
3 chapter psy_behavior_ji
