 Understand what distinguishes a promising research topic from one that is not so relevant or interesting.
1.1 Business Research
“A systematic & organized effort to investigate a specific problem, which needs a solution”

1.1.1 Deduction & Induciton
Deductive research Inductive research
Start wit ha general theory (often in form of a hypothesis) Observe specific phenomena and on this basis arrive
and then collect specific data to test this theory at general conclusions

1.1.2 Types of Research
 Solve current problem faced by a firm APPLIED RESEARCH
 Generate body of knowledge by trying to figure out how certain problems can be solved BASIC,
FUNDAMENTAL, or PURE RESEARCH. Findings can be later applied for problem solving.
A THESIS is often a combination, but the latter type is a necessary condition.

1.2 Foundations of Scientific Research
1.2.1 Characteristics of Scientific Process
o Development of knowledge based on evidence (data);
o Constructing generalizable theories about evidence;
o Theories are open to testing, refinement and falsification.

1.2.2 Behaving Scientifically
 Acknowledge & build on research that others have done;  Let decisions be guided by rigorously collected
 Expose ideas to testing / consider alternative evidence;
explanations;  Openly communicate ideas and tests to others.

Ethical code of conduct while conducting research
Scientific integrity pervades each step of research process.
1.3 Hallmark of Scientific Research
