Explanatory research is research that investigates

New ideas that are not well researched

New ideas that are well researched

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

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

Physical harm, discomfort, pain

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
