Running head: DISCUSSIONS 1 Research design method Unit 1 Jolynn Patsy Unit 1 Discussion Board 2 Professor Sheedy 1/9/18 DISCUSSIONS 2 Research design method Unit 1 1. Explain the differences between academic and business research approaches Scholastic research alludes to research carried out only for scholarly purposes, for instance, study led by students as a feature of their investigations or by scientists aimed at findings purposes (Severson, n.d.). Business research depends on an issue or a business circumstance, for example, a client's behavior research, and so forth. Publicity of scholarly research is free for anyone to access while the commercial research is not free to the general public. It aimed at one organization only. In the academic world, terms are usually longer than business research. In many ways, there are differences in motivation to do a research project. Business research is often conducted to meet a particular business demand, which means that the search should take place within the time required by the commercial application, which is usually fast. Academic research is typically done to promote knowledge, which means that there is often no specific time limit. In a scientific/ scholarly study, the value of the particular response is sometimes the least essential element of the project. In today's competitive advantage market, the scope and a clear problem statement answer is the main purpose of the study. The method is less relevant as long as it is acceptable. In business research, the outcomes are private to the client, unless if they aimed for advertising. Customarily, the final drafted findings of the academic analysis are for the most part accessible to the scholarly world. Business research is quite cautious because of commercial interests. 2. Explain why you as a researcher would choose which research approach (quantitative, qualitative or business) for their particular research question/problem. DISCUSSIONS 3 Primarily, quantitative research is the empirical examination of the finding question by using consistent procedures (Taylor, 1999). The results are numerical and can be examined indeed to answer the hypothesis. It is used to assess feelings, sentiments and other portrayed variables. Quantitative research uses quantifiable data to make sense of substances and investigate related data. Quantitative data gathering systems extensively more composed than subjective strategies (Borry, Schotsmans, & Dierickx, 2006). On the other hand, qualitative research is significantly more individualized. It is an investigation whereby measurements not utilized by any means. It gives data about the problem or makes musings or speculations inciting quantitative research. It used to find out mentalities and feeling designs and to contemplate the issue. My preferred method is qualitative methods. The main reason is that the work is in the social sciences and that the data generated by the costly qualitative methods are often the best approach. Ultimately, qualitative analysis argue on the fact that there are many ways to explore and understand our social world. Hence, it realizes that nothing is predetermined and that in the future there will always be room for discoveries. It helps to understand people in a specific environment. In qualitative research, the most common methods; qualitative case study, ethnography, content analysis and action research. There is a lack of confidence that quantitative methods are used by many, as they most often use qualitative research during their studies and university studies. The qualitative approach tries to avoid prejudices and attempts to determine the topics from its analysis and found to support the proposed argument. p (Scammell, 2010). 3. Examine how you would determine what area you will focus on for your research project and what questions you might be asking? DISCUSSIONS 4 A perfect place to start my research is the Library Catalog, which is an electronic database of all library material. Primary research will help me develop my theme and refine or improve it. While this may seem like extra work, it's a crucial step that saves time. To know more about the context of my subject can only help me to develop a more efficient issue and therefore a research document. The concept of brainstorming is another critical step. As soon as I think of a vast subject that interests me, I will try to develop words or ideas that can be related to the issue. Developing a research question will always be the most critical part. After proposing a general topic and basic research, I would like to extend a research question or question that you should answer to the work through in-depth research (Alderman, 2014). Some general approaches can help develop the subject further: this can be done in a historical perspective that focuses on a specified period; a geographic area centered on one part of the world; or a sociological corner that focuses on a particular group of people. Other research, such as scientific articles, books, and other sources included in the report, can and will likely change and refine the subject according to the results. The research question begins with a research problem, a subject that needs to be studied, or a situation that needs to be modified or changed, for example, interesting areas and questions that seek answers. A research problem leads to a research question such as: Where does the information come from? Is the information supported by evidence? Has the information been reviewed or resolved? DISCUSSIONS Is the language or the sound just and without emotion? Are there any spelling, grammatical or typographical errors? 5 DISCUSSIONS 6 References Aaker D.A; Kumar, V.; Day, G.
