This document outlines the steps for properly defining a research problem and developing a research proposal. It discusses the importance of starting with a clear problem definition by understanding the key symptoms and relevant issues. The process involves writing a managerial decision statement and research objectives, determining the unit and variables of analysis, and developing research questions and hypotheses. Finally, it notes that a research proposal provides an outline of the entire research process to give readers a summary of the planned project.

182 Chapter 10 Research and Tools
Introduction
In the management of service, you will have to do much research. It isn’t usually formal
and you probably won’t be wearing a white lab coat. Th e term research means investigating,
thinking logically, and determining a solution. Quality tools are the vehicles for
doing just that. Tools are the keys to unlock the doors of mysteries. Th ey provide organization,
logic, clarity, and insight well past what the mind could do on its own.
Th is chapter is divided into three main sections. Th e fi rst discusses the foundations
of performing research. Th e second discusses the use of tools and techniques
used in the service industry. Th e third covers external awards and certifi cations common
to the hospitality industry.
Setting Up for Research
Research is anything but haphazard. It is a formal process. It is scientifi c. It follows a
set of steps that allow it to be standardized and critiqued for validity. In setting up for
research, there are criteria that need to be established to ensure a successful experiment.
We can refer to these casually as the why, what, who, and how of research
experiments (Figure 10.1 ). Th eir more formal labels and explanations are listed below.
Why:
Collect
Background
Information
What:
Determine What
to Measure
Who:
Choose the
Population
How:
Choose the
Method and
Measurement
FIGURE 10.1 The Why, What, Who, and How of Research.
WHY: COLLECT BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Collecting background information is crucial to any research. It identifi es areas of concern
that help to establish a starting point and build a case for the direction of future
investigation. Without it, you are guessing or ‘shooting in the dark’.
You can begin an analysis by asking questions such as:
■ Are you providing wants and needs?
■ What’s involved in your service?
■ What is good, what is bad, and what can be.
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
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.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

3. IMPORTANCE OF STARTING WITH GOOD
PROBLEM
• DEFINITION:
When client fails to understand their situation or insists
on studying an irrelevant problem, the research is very
likely to fail, even if it is done perfectly.
4. A DECISION STATEMENT
• It is a written expression of the key question(s) that a research user
wishes to be answered.
• It is a reason that research is being considered for.
• It must be well stated and relevant.
5. PROBLEM DEFINITION
• A research problem is a question that
a researcher wants to answer or a
problem that a researcher wants to
solve.
9. DRAMATIC CHANGES
A dramatic change or event happens suddenly
and is very noticeable and surprising.
Sudden changes are easier to identify than slow
changes
10. SCATTERED SYMPTOMS
Isolated symptoms point out to single
problem.
It is difficult to identify problem if
symptoms are more scattered.
Car production (Handling Problem)EXAMPLE
Production and Retail outlet
atmosphereEXAMPLE
12. GAP
It is a gap
between current
condition and
expected
conditions
13. EXAMPLE OF PROBLEM/GAP
• Business performance is worse than expected business
performance (Sales of previous year v/s current year)
•Actual business performance is less than possible business
performance (Opening new business market)
•Expected business performance is greater than possible business
performance (Launching of new product and its failure)
14. 1. Understand the Situation – identify the
key symptoms
2. Identify the Problem From symptoms
3. Write Managerial decision Statement
and Corresponding research objectives
4. Determine the unit of analysis
5. Determine Relevant variables
6. Write research questions and/or
research hypotheses
THE PROBLEM-DEFINITION
PROCESS STEPS
15. 1
UNDERSTAND THE SITUATION –
IDENTIFY THE KEY SYMPTOMS
Interview
Situation
Analysis
Identifying
Symptoms
(Probing
Technique)
16. 2
IDENTIFY THE RELEVANT ISSUES
FROM THE SYMPTOMS
Research must attack
the actual problem
rather the superficial
symptoms Low advertising
budget, low brand
awareness, wrong
brand image, use of
the wrong media
EXAMPLE
Advertising
Effectiveness
Possible Symptoms ….
But which is actual
problem?
17. WRITE MANAGERIAL DECISION STATEMENT AND
CORRESPONDING RESEARCH OBJECTIVES
3
Situation Analysis is end
once research have a clear
idea of the managerial
objectives from the
research effort.
21. 4
DETERMINE THE UNIT OF ANALYSIS
This determines that who will be investigated and
collected data
Individual or Household or Organization or Department or
Geographical area or Objects
E.g. Buying a house
Husband and Wife
23. 6
WRITE RESEARCH QUESTIONS
AND/OR RESEARCH HYPOTHESES
At the end of Problem –definition stage both
the Managers and the researcher as a result
expects the clear set of research objectives,
research questions, hypotheses, and
variables of the study.
24.
25. RESEARCH PROPOSAL
A research proposal is a document
written by a researcher that provides a
detailed description of the proposed
program.
It is like an outline of the entire
research process that give s a reader a
summary of the information discussed
in a project.
