This document discusses different types of research designs used in marketing research. It describes exploratory research as research conducted when little is known about a problem to gain insights and hypotheses. Descriptive research aims to describe important variables like who, what, where, and how. The goal is to determine frequencies and relationships between variables. Longitudinal research involves repeated measurements of a panel over time, while cross-sectional research measures a sample only once to generate summary statistics. Exploratory and descriptive designs use methods like secondary data analysis, interviews, and focus groups to collect data.
This document dovetails the process of research in brief. It highlights the importance of understanding the problem statement and its motivation. Research being an iterative process it is essential to frame the problem statement carefully before proceeding to the next stage. A research study must be reliable, valid and accurate.

The field of Research Methodology pertains to the scientific study of the methods employed in research. It involves a systematic approach to resolving research problems through the logical adoption of various steps. Methodology serves to facilitate comprehension not only of the outcomes of scientific inquiry, but also of the process itself. The primary objective of Research Methodology is to describe and analyze research methods, elucidate their limitations and resources, and clarify their presuppositions and consequences. Additionally, it aims to relate their potentialities to the ambiguous realm at the forefront of knowledge.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

3. What is Research Design?
A research design is the arrangement
of conditions for collection and
analysis of data in a manner that aims
to combine relevance to the research
purpose with economy in procedure.
Research Design Constitutes Decisions
like:
What, Where, When, How, How much
4. • A research design is the framework
or plan for a study used as a guide in
collecting and analyzing data.
5. Need for Research Design:
• It facilitates the smooth flow of
various research processes.
• It would result in more accurate
results with minimum usage of time,
effort and money
6. Types of Research Designs:
There are three basic types of
research design:
Exploratory
Descriptive
Causal
7. • The goal of exploratory research is to
discover ideas and insights.
• Descriptive research is usually concerned
with describing a population with respect
to important variables.
• Causal research is used to establish
cause-and-effect relationships between
variables.
8. 1 What is going on (descriptive research)?
2 Why is it going on (exploratory research)?
9. Exploratory Design:
• Exploratory research is most commonly
unstructured, “informal” research that
is undertaken to gain background
information about the general nature
of the research problem.
• Exploratory research is usually
conducted when the researcher does
not know much about the problem and
needs additional information or desires
new or more recent information.
10. • Exploratory research is conducted to provide a
better understanding of a situation. It isn’t
designed to come up with final answers or
decisions.
Through exploratory research, researchers hope
to produce hypotheses about what is going on
in a situation.
• Exploration is particularly useful when researches
lack a clear idea of the problems they will meet
during the study.
• Through exploration the researchers develop
concepts more clearly, establish priorities,
develop operational definitions, and improve the
final research design.
•
11. • Exploratory research (sometimes referred to as
qualitative research) shouldn’t be expected to
provide answers to the decision problem that you
are attempting to solve for a client. It can
provide very rich, meaningful information—or even
definitive explanations—for particular individuals
(“I hate the old-fashioned styling of that car;
that’s why I won’t buy one”), but exploratory
research doesn’t provide definitive answers for
the overall population.
12. • There are two reasons for this:
(1) Exploratory research usually involves
only a relatively small group of people,
(2) these people are almost never
randomly selected to participate.
13. Exploratory Design: Contd…
• Exploratory research is used in a
number of situations:

To
gain background information
define terms
clarify problems and hypotheses
establish research priorities
14. Exploratory Design: Contd…
A variety of methods are available to
conduct exploratory research:
• Secondary Data Analysis
• Experience Surveys/Depth Interviews
• Case Analysis
• Focus Groups
15. Descriptive Design:
• Descriptive research is undertaken to
provide answers to questions of who, what,
where, when, and how – but not why.
• It is a research design in which the major
emphasis is on determining the frequency
with which something occurs or the extent
to which two variables cover.
16. • Descriptive research assumes that the
researcher has much prior knowledge
about the problem situation. In fact, a
major difference between exploratory and
descriptive research is that descriptive
research is characterized by prior
formulation of specific hypotheses. Thus
the information needed is clearly defined.
As a result, descriptive research is pre
planned and structured
17. • Descriptive research in contrast to
exploratory research is marked by a clear
statement of the problem, specific
hypotheses, and detailed information
needs.
• A descriptive design requires a clear
specification of the who, what, when,
where, why, and way (the six Ws) of the
research.
18. we use descriptive research for
the following purposes:
1. Major objective is to describe some thing
usually market characteristics or functions
2. To describe the characteristics of certain
groups.
3. To determine the proportion of people who
behave in a certain way.
4. To make specific predictions
5. To determine relationships between
variables
20. • Typically, a cross-sectional study
involves drawing a sample of elements
from the population of interest.
Characteristics of the elements, or
sample members, are measured only once.
• A longitudinal study, on the other
hand, involves a panel, which is a fixed
sample of elements.
The elements may be stores, dealers,
individuals, or other entities.
22. Longitudinal Analysis
• The study of change over time is called longitudinal
analysis. In this sense, longitudinal studies involve
the study of a process of change over a period of
time. Such trends can also be observed by comparing
the results of surveys that are conducted in
separate years. The aim of this paper is to point out
the importance of conducting longitudinal surveys
for a variety of situations, and the importance of
applying the correct statistical techniques for data
obtained from longitudinal surveys.
23. • Longitudinal studies repeatedly draw
sample units of a population over time.
• One method is to draw different units
from the same sampling frame.
• A second method is to use a “panel” where
the same people are asked to respond
periodically.
• On-line survey research firms recruit
panel members to respond to online
queries.
24. There are two types of panels:
Continuous
panel
A fixed sample of
respondents who
are measured
repeatedly over
time with respect
to the same
variables.
Discontinuous
panel
A fixed sample of
respondents who are
Measured repeatedly
over time, but on
variables that change
from measurement
to measurement.
25. Cross-sectional Analysis
• Cross-sectional studies measure units from
a sample of the population at only one point
in time.
• Sample surveys are cross-sectional studies
whose samples are drawn in such a way as to
be representative of a specific population.
• On-line survey research is being used to
collect data for cross-sectional surveys at a
faster rate of speed.
26. • Cross-sectional surveys often provide data
that reveal little change from one year to
the next. This can be seen especially, when
we consider figures on unemployment or
characteristics of poor households
receiving Samurdhi-benefits – implying
that the same households remain poor over
time.
27. • Cross-sectional study in which the sample
is selected to be representative of the
target population and in which the
emphasis is on the generation of summary
statistics such as averages and
percentages.
28. a cross-sectional study involves drawing a
sample of elements from the population of
interest. Because a great deal of emphasis is
placed on selecting sample members,
preferably with a probability sampling plan,
the technique is often called a sample survey.
29. sample survey
A sample survey offers a couple of big advantages over
panel designs. For one thing, you can target very
specific populations. Targeted recruitment is possible
with consumer panels, but only using the data that have
been collected about the participating individuals or
households. Here’s a second big advantage of sample
surveys: If you use a probability sampling plan, the
results from the sample can be projected to the overall
population. (Managers care more about populations than
they do samples.) On the downside, survey research is
expensive. It takes lots of time, energy, and money to
successfully collect and analyze survey data. And unless
you have the technical skills required for each aspect
of the process, you’ll have to hire others to help, adding
to the overall cost of the project.
