Research is a systematic inquiry conducted
to understand a phenomenon, it can be done
through gathering, analysis and interpretation
of facts, in the social sciences, a specific type of
research focuses on understanding and learning
about the changes and developments
happening in the social world to produce
knowledge it is called Social Research

Types of Research (250 words) 1 scholarly source read the presentation and chapter 1 reading below:
After completing the readings and reviewing the media piece assigned for Unit 1, discuss the ways in which Action Research relates to other forms of research? How is it similar? How is it different?
Collaborative Inquiry: Participatory Action
In this presentation, you will learn more about some specific types of projects in action research. This will provide fertile ground to plant your own possible dissertation concepts and topics to grow and tend over the coming quarters!
Remember – action research must include the participants as part of the solution development, and it must be community based, no matter how broad or large that community might be. Finally, action for social change must occur.
Four typical types of action research:
Diagnostic
– needs assessment or causal analysis (What is causing homelessness in our county?)
Prescriptive
– best program or policy to solve an identified community problem (Which type of housing would best serve the homeless population?)
Implementation
– accomplishes program goals outside of data collection (How can we strengthen ties within our community so that the homeless are not invisible?)
Evaluation
– assesses program impacts (How effective is this program to provide free medical and dental care in meeting the needs of the homeless?)
Any of these examples could be action research, and in some cases, a project may include more than one of these types. Diagnostic and prescriptive are the most common and the ones most often combined.
Most common partners: nonprofit organizations or community-based organizations, so cross-sector collaborations are a key factor. (Intersection of public sector/government, nonprofits/community organizations, and individuals with interests in this topic, plus the researcher.)
Typical ways to link action and research – through outcomes:
Organizing
– helping the participants organize for social change
Advocacy
– advocating for social change with the participants
Most of the time, the outcome in action research is mislabeled as simple reporting – written report, oral presentations, websites on the project, education models. None of these reporting features in and of themselves empower the participants, a key trait of action research.
If the participants only put a report on a shelf, social change has not occurred. Outcomes must be stated clearly.
Partners for action research may include:
Community based organizations
Community residents (individuals)
Coalition groups
Grass roots constituents/special interest constituents
Nonprofit organizations
Educational institutions at all levels
Government agencies
Stages are accomplished with participants, not solely prepared by the researcher:
Defining the research question
Developing the research method
Gathering the data
Analyzing the data
Reporting and acting on the research results/solutions

Pre-service teachers’ perceptions & use of social media during their placemen...Konstantina Kontopoulou
In this presentation, I describe the problems that emerged during the recruitment stage of my pilot study. I also describe how I applied Stutchbury and Fox (2009) ethical framework to my study. An ethical appraisal of the study helped me identify ways of proceeding.

Practical Applications for Social Network Analysis in Public Sector Marketing...Mike Kujawski
Over the past decade there has been a growing public fascination with the complex connectedness of modern society. This has been driven in large part by the wide availability of public digital data produced through our daily interactions on the modern social web. This data can now easily be mined and analyzed to produce valuable and actionable business insights leading to better decision making in nearly every field of practice, especially marketing and communications. In this presentation, Joshua Gillmore and Mike Kujawski introduce the basics of social network analysis and some of the privacy related challenges that this rapidly growing space brings with it. Focus of this deck is on public sector organizations.

The case study discusses the potential of drone delivery and the challenges that need to be addressed before it becomes widespread.
Key takeaways:
Drone delivery is in its early stages: Amazon's trial in the UK demonstrates the potential for faster deliveries, but it's still limited by regulations and technology.
Regulations are a major hurdle: Safety concerns around drone collisions with airplanes and people have led to restrictions on flight height and location.
Other challenges exist: Who will use drone delivery the most? Is it cost-effective compared to traditional delivery trucks?
Discussion questions:
Managerial challenges: Integrating drones requires planning for new infrastructure, training staff, and navigating regulations. There are also marketing and recruitment considerations specific to this technology.
External forces vary by country: Regulations, consumer acceptance, and infrastructure all differ between countries.
Demographics matter: Younger generations might be more receptive to drone delivery, while older populations might have concerns.
Stakeholders for Amazon: Customers, regulators, aviation authorities, and competitors are all stakeholders. Regulators likely hold the greatest influence as they determine the feasibility of drone delivery.
Artificial intelligence (AI) offers new opportunities to radically reinvent the way we do business. This study explores how CEOs and top decision makers around the world are responding to the transformative potential of AI.
