RESEARCH APPROACHES AND DESIGNS
A Research design is the framework or guide used for the planning, implementation and analysis of a study. It is a systematic plan of what is to be done, how it will be done and how the data will be analyzed.
ELEMENTS OF RESEARCH DESIGN
Research design is also known as a blueprint thatresearchers select to carry out their research study,sometimes research design is used interchangeably withthe term methodology. Research design includes majorelements like:
The Approach
The Population, Sample and Sampling Technique
The Time, Place and Sources of Data collection
Tools and methods of data collection
Methods of data analysis
Research is a process through which new knowledge is discovered. Conducting research has to follow certain steps and these may vary with the type and goals of research. But the variation in the process would be minor according to the study involves quantitative or a qualitative approach and data.

Business Valuation Principles for EntrepreneursBen Wann
This insightful presentation is designed to equip entrepreneurs with the essential knowledge and tools needed to accurately value their businesses. Understanding business valuation is crucial for making informed decisions, whether you're seeking investment, planning to sell, or simply want to gauge your company's worth.
Implicitly or explicitly all competing businesses employ a strategy to select a mix
of marketing resources. Formulating such competitive strategies fundamentally
involves recognizing relationships between elements of the marketing mix (e.g.,
price and product quality), as well as assessing competitive and market conditions
(i.e., industry structure in the language of economics).
Putting the SPARK into Virtual Training.pptxCynthia Clay
This 60-minute webinar, sponsored by Adobe, was delivered for the Training Mag Network. It explored the five elements of SPARK: Storytelling, Purpose, Action, Relationships, and Kudos. Knowing how to tell a well-structured story is key to building long-term memory. Stating a clear purpose that doesn't take away from the discovery learning process is critical. Ensuring that people move from theory to practical application is imperative. Creating strong social learning is the key to commitment and engagement. Validating and affirming participants' comments is the way to create a positive learning environment.

2. Research is the process of finding solutions
to a problem after a thorough study and
analysis of the situational factors.
Business Research is an organized,
systematic, data-based, critical, objective,
scientific inquiry or investigation into a
specific problem, undertaken with the
purpose of finding answers or solutions to
it.
3. Studying Research provides the
knowledge and skills needed for the fast-
paced decision-making environment
Managers need information because
• Global and domestic competition is more
vigorous
• Organizations are increasingly practicing data
mining and data warehousing
4. To gather more information before
selecting a course of action
To do a high-level research study
To understand research design
To evaluate and resolve a current
management dilemma
To establish a career as a research
specialist
5. Following the standards of the scientific
method
• Purpose clearly defined
• Research process detailed
• Research design thoroughly planned
• Limitations frankly revealed
• High ethical standards applied
6. Following the standards of the scientific
method (cont.)
• Adequate analysis for decision-maker’s
needs
• Findings presented unambiguously
• Conclusions justified
• Researcher’s experience reflected
7. Manager’s obligations
• Specify problems
• Provide adequate background information
• Access to company information gatekeepers
Researcher’s obligations
• Develop a creative research design
• Provide answers to important business questions
8. Management’s limited exposure to
research
Manager sees researcher as threat to
personal status
Researcher has to consider corporate
culture and political situations
Researcher’s isolation from managers
11. Management Dilemma
• The symptom of an actual problem
• Not difficult to identify a dilemma,
however choosing one to focus on may
be difficult
Management Question Categories
• Choice of purposes or objective
• Generation and evaluation of solutions
• Troubleshooting or control situation
12. Fine tune the Research Question
• Examine concepts and constructs
• Break research questions into specific second-
and-third-level questions
• Verify hypotheses with quality tests
• Determine what evidence answers the various
questions and hypothesis
• Set the scope of your study
13. Investigative Questions
• Questions the researcher must answer
to satisfactorily arrive at a conclusion
about the research question
Measurement Questions
• The questions we actually ask or
extract from respondents
14. To present the question to be researched
and its importance
To discuss the research efforts of others
who have worked on related questions
To suggest the data necessary for solving
the question
15. Allows the researcher to plan and review
the project’s steps
Serves as a guide throughout the
investigation
Forces time and budget estimates

17. A PLAN for selecting the sources and
types of information used to answer
research questions
A FRAMEWORK for specifying the
relationships among the study variables
A BLUEPRINT that outlines each
procedure from the hypothesis to the
analysis
18. Research data may be categorized as
Primary (generated by researcher) and
Secondary data (generated by others but
used in the research).
Factors to consider when designing a
data collection strategy - Timing, Mode,
and Contacts
19. A procedure or plan drawn up before any
data are collected to obtain a sample
from a given population.
Steps in Sampling Process
• Define Population
• Identify Sampling Frame
• Select Sampling Design or Procedure
• Determine Sampling Size
• Draw the Sample
20. Measurement is typically done by
developing an instrument, which can be a
questionnaire, an examination, an interview,
an observation schedule, etc.
When designing an instrument, keep in
mind the following:
• Conclusions drawn in a research study are only as
good as the data that is collected.
• Data that is collected is only as good as the
instrument that collects the data.
• A poorly designed instrument will lead to bad data,
which will lead to bad conclusions.
21. A pilot test is a method used to test the
design and/or methods and/or instrument
prior to carrying out the research
Pilot testing involves conducting a
preliminary test of data collection tools and
procedures to identify and eliminate
problems, allowing programs to make
corrective changes or adjustments before
actually collecting data from the target
population
22. Purpose of data collection is to obtain
information to keep on record, to make
decisions about important issues, or to
pass information on to others
Researcher must prepare the data to be
analyzed. Organizing the data correctly
can save a lot of time and prevent
mistakes.
23. Before undertaking any detailed analysis,
responses should be vetted for
consistency and completeness. It is
important to have a policy for handling
inconsistent and or incomplete
questionnaires.
It is sometimes necessary to convert
nominal and ordinal scale data from
category names to numerical scores
prior to the data’s being input
24. The purpose of the data analysis and
interpretation phase is to transform the data
collected into credible evidence about the
development of the intervention and its
performance.
This process includes the following steps:
• Organizing the data for analysis (data preparation)
• Describing the data
• Interpreting the data (assessing the findings against
the adopted evaluation criteria)
25. Reports communicate information which
has been compiled as a result of research
and analysis of data and of issues.
It usually focus on transmitting
information with a clear purpose, to a
specific audience.
Good reports are documents that are
accurate, objective and complete.
26. R&D does have an impact on decision-
making by policy-makers and
practitioners
Extent to which research is used and has
influence on decision-making can be
enhanced by the actions of the
stakeholders
27.
28. Descriptive vs. Analytical
Applied vs. Fundamental
Quantitative vs. Qualitative
Conceptual vs. Empirical
Some other types
• One time Research vs. Longitudinal Research
• Field setting or Laboratory or Simulation Research
• Clinical or Diagnostic Research
• Exploratory vs. Formalized Research
• Historical Research
• Conclusion oriented or Decision oriented
29. Descriptive Research (otherwise known
as Ex-post facto research): Description of
state of affairs as it exists at present
• No control over variables
• Can only report what has happened or already
happening
Analytical Research : Researcher has to
use facts or information already available
and analyze these to make a critical
evaluation of the material.
30. Applied (or Action) Research : Aims to
finding a solution for an immediate
problem facing the society or business
organization
Fundamental (or Basic or Pure) Research:
Concerned with generalizations and
formulation of theory; Directed towards
finding information that has broad range of
applications and adds to already existing
organized body of scientific knowledge
31. Quantitative Research : Based on
measurement of quantity or amount
Qualitative Research : Concerned with
phenomenon relating to or involving
quality or kind; aims at discovering
underlying motives and desires
32. Conceptual Research : related to abstract
ideas or theory; generally used by
philosophers and thinkers to develop new
concepts or to reinterpret existing ones
Empirical Research : relies on experience
and observation alone often without due
regard to theory; data-based research
coming up with conclusions and capable of
being verified by observation or
experiment
33. One time research : Confined to single
time period
Longitudinal research : research is
carried on over several time periods
Field-setting or Laboratory-setting or
Simulation research : based on the
environment in which it is to be carried
out
34. Clinical or Diagnostic research : usually go
deep into causes of things or events that
interest us, using very small samples and
very deep probing data gathering devices
Exploratory research : objective is
development of hypothesis rather than their
testing
Formalized research : research with
substantial structure and with specific
hypothesis to be tested
35. Historical research : uses historical
sources like documents, remains etc., to
study events or ideas of the past
including philosophy of persons or
groups at any remote point of time
36. Obtrusive Research :The researcher
introduces conditions that influence
participants; manipulates the
environment
Non-Obtrusive Research : Researcher
avoids influencing subjects in any way
and tries to be as inconspicuous as
possible
37. Experimental Research : An experiment is a
research situation where at least one
independent variable, called the
experimental variable, is deliberately
manipulated or varied by the researcher
Correlation Research :To find relationships
between two or more variable so to:
• Better understand the conditions and events that we
encounter (what goes with what)
• To predict future conditions and events.
• Correlations do not show cause and effect
