Theory based attempting to predict future events

Theory based attempting to develop a model

Theory based attempting to predict business events

Explanatory research is research that investigates

New ideas that are not well researched

New ideas that are well researched

New ideas that university academics want to be the first to discover

The second stage of the business research process is...

Planning the research design – where the researcher determines the basic research method that will be used

Data gathering - Collecting the data that is conducting the interviews, survey or experiment

Problem discovery and definition – where the research objectives are defined

Sampling – where the research determines when and how they are going to obtain a sample

The last stage of the business research process is... Select one:

Drawing conclusions and preparing a report

Data gathering - Collecting the data that is conducting the interviews, survey or experiment

Sampling – where the research determines when and how they are going to obtain a sample

Data processing and analysis – which involves coding the data and analyzing the data

The research process usually begins with

A management dilemma, sometimes called a research dilemma

Writing a wish list of problems you would like to solve

Gathering data to answer the question

An example of a business problem or management dilemma that could occur in business is

a.increasing customer complaints,

Management questions can be described as

The purpose or objectives of the research

Questions that are asked of management when there is a problem

A research design provides a plan of action for the research

In research terms a population is

The total of objects/events/people/organisation that has certain characteristics and are of interest to a researcher

The purpose of the data analysis and interpretation phase is to

Transform the data collected into credible evidence

A literature review could include

Academic journal, other company reports, information stored in various information systems data

Basic ingredients and all the seasons

The focus of a literature review can be:

Integrative - Summary of past research

Build information pool is the

First step of the literature search process

Second step of the literature search process

Third step of the literature search process

Fourth step of the literature search process

Analyze literature in pool is the

Fourth step of the literature search process

First step of the literature search process

Second step of the literature search process

Third step of the literature search process

A literature review should contain

An introduction, body and conclusion

All the research that you have gathered in your information pool

All the research ever written on the topic

The goal of a literature review is to write

What is already known about your subject?

What is not known about your subject?

Why it is important to research in this area?

Norms or standards of behaviour that guide moral choices about our behaviour and our relationships with others

In general research must be designed so a participant does not suffer any

Physical harm, discomfort, pain, embarrassment and loss of privacy

Physical harm, discomfort, pain

Discomfort, physical harm, pain

Pain, embarrassment and loss of privacy

To ensure no harm researchers must explain the:

Benefits of the study, participants rights and protection and obtain uniform consent

What is deception in research?

The participant is told only part of the truth

When the truth is fully compromised

Why is deception problematic

It violates the participants’ information rights. Participants might participate in a study in which they would not have participated if they would have known the sponsor or purpose.

It disrupts participants. And they might not want to be part of the research

Researchers are academics and they are not good at deception; which requires good acting skills

Ethical Issues related to researchers include:

Safety, ethical behaviour of assistants and protection of anonymity

Safety, ethics of participants and remaining anonymous

Safety, ethics of participants and remaining calm under pressure

Sometimes researchers will be asked by sponsors to participate in unethical behaviours, in this situation they should

Do so only if they are not going to get caught

Do so if they think they will get to gather interesting data

Do so if their manager says it’s okay
