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.
Research is what I’m doing when I don’t know what I’m doing.

Research is to see what everybody else has seen and think what nobody has thought.

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 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.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

2. Hallmarks of scientific research
1. Purposiveness
• Manager start the research with definite aim or purpose.
• Research Commitment less turnover, less absenteeism,
increased performance.
2. Rigor
• Good theoretical base and strong methodology
• Connotes carefulness, scrupulousness and the degree of
exactitude.
• Manager ask from 10-12 employees commitment
unscientific approach.
a. The conclusion would be incorrectly drawn 10-12
employees not representative of whole.
b. Question should be biased or incorrect.
c. Lots of other things influence commitment researcher
failed to include them Lack of theoretical background.
3. 3. Testability
• After random selection study of the previous research develop
hypothesis statistical test for purpose
• EXP: Hypothesis Participation is positive related to the
Commitment
• Appropriate statistical test
• To see weather data support your the educated conjecture
(inference).
4. Replicability
• Manager/Researcher Based on Previous study Concludes
Participation is positively related to commitment.
• We will place faith and credence in these findings if similar
findings emerge on data collected from other organization
employing same method.
• the result to test the hypothesis same when the same type of
research repeated In similar circumstances.
• Gain confidence in scientific nature
4. 5. Precision and confidence
• We hardly ever have the luxury of being able to draw definite
conclusion on the basis of result.
• Unable to study the universe.
• Our findings are based on sample.
• Sample is not exact to the population.
• Measurement error and other problems make bias or error in
findings.
• We would like to design Ensure finding are close to reality.
Precision
• Closeness to reality on the basis of sample.
• No of production days lost during year = 35
• Your study = 30-40 favorable
• If your study = 20-50
• Confidence
• Probability that our estimation are correct
• We can confidently claim that 95% of time our result would be true.
• Significance level = p= .05 (Far from reality)
5. 6.Objectivity
• Conclusion drawn based on facts of the findings derived from
actual result.
• Not on subjective
• Damage can be sustain organization that implement non data base
or misleading conclusion.
7.Generalizability
• Applicability of the research from one organization setting to other.
• If the researchers find that participation and commitment link
different settings generalizibility enhance.
• Not many research findings can be generalized.
8. Parsimony
• Simplicity in explaining the phenomena o a problem that occur,
generating solution, Is always preferred to complex research
framework.
• Two or three variable = change 45% more valuable
• Ten variables = change 48% beyond manager control
• Parsimony can be introduce with good understanding of the problem
and important factors that influence.
6. Building Blocks of science in Research
• Deduction
Process, we arrive at a reasoned conclusion by
logical generalization of a known fact.
• Induction
Process where we observe certain phenomena
and on the basis arrive at conclusion.

8. Hypothetico Deductive Method
1. Observation
• Sense certain changes (new behavior, attitude, feeling)
• The observed phenomena have potentially important consequences
• How to observe?
• People- oriented manager is always aware of what is happening
in and around organization.
• Goals Effectiveness in processes Positive or negative reaction.
• Manager pick that problems through cues.
• Manager identify gap actual and required.
2. Preliminary information gathering
• Seeking information what is observed in-depth information.
• Done by talking informally to workers or use other sources (what
is happening and why)
• To identify what transpire in situation.
• Increases the level of awareness Focus on problems and factors
structured and formal interviews
• Library identify how issue have been tackled in other situation.
9. 3. Theory Formulation
• Integrate all information in logical manner
• All factors can be conceptualized and tested.
• Theoretical Framework variables theoretically
woven (stretches in the bias directions) justification
• Why they might influence problem.
4.Hypothesizing
• Theoretical framework hypothesis generated.
• Hypothesis testing is called deduction
• Hypotheses not original formulated generated
through induction.
• This is after data obtain creative insight occur
New hypotheses generated.
• Hawthorne study
10. 5. Scientific data collection
• Data regarding every variable in hypotheses
needed to test hypothesis.
6. Data Analysis
• Data gathered are statistically analyzed.
• To see hypotheses generated supported
7. Deduction
• Arriving at conclusion interpretation of
analysis.
11. Other type of Research
• Case studies
• In-depth Contextual (relative)Analysis of similar situation in other
organization nature and definition of problem same
• Hypothesis can be developed in case studies.
• If the hypotheses cannot be validate in even single study it will
not support your alternate hypothesis.
• Not often undertaken in organization
• Action Research
• Sometime undertaken by consultants initiate change process.
• Action research methodology most appropriate while effecting
planned changes.
• Researchers begin with problem gathered relevant data to provide
tentative problem solution.
• The solution then implemented with knowledge maybe
unintended consequences following such implementation.
• The effects then evaluated, defined and diagnosed research
continuous until the problem is fully solved.
