BA 590 UIU The Importance of Rigorous Measurement Discussion Questions

DQ1

Please provide an example of a research process, identify the most significant challenges in each phase, and explain how the researcher can overcome these challenges.

DQ2

Why should research results be carefully measured, analyzed, written up and made available to the scientific community?

R1

One genuine case of business operation research about is as per the following:

For example, a little firm may locate their 2 principle competitors. Assume, competitors An and B have 60% and 20% piece of the overall industry each. Along these lines, the remainder of the piece of the overall industry is served by little competitors. Along these lines, exploring a firm can decide if it is achievable or not to work together in this portion so as to be effective and make an extensive benefit.

There are 3 primary stages in any exploration procedure:

1) Defining the problems or issues.

Challenges:

Failure to characterize the issue.

complex nature of the issue.

Failure to decide the limits of the problems.

Strategy to survive:

Researchers ought to think about the applicable and accessible foundation information, motivation behind the exploration, what other important information is required to do this examination.

2) Data Collection:

Challenges:

Absence of consistency in data collection principles.

The multifaceted nature of data.

Changes in the approaches identified with data collection.

Wasteful techniques for data collection.

Strategy to survive:

Utilization of data collection strategies, for example, open-finished inquiries, surveys, individual meetings, contextual investigation techniques, or projective procedures.

3) Research data translation:

Challenges:

The reaction set can be extraordinary.

The reaction can socially allure.

Report behavior can be mistaken.

Strategy to survive:

Keep data as perfect and straightforward as could reasonably be expected.

Picked the of investigation, subjective or subjective examination cautiously.

Examine the data to reach its inference.

A program management research process includes 5 steps:

Locating and Defining Issues or Problems: the researcher should consider the purpose of the study, the relevant background information, what information is needed, and how it will be used in decision-making. A challenge is finding a situation or questions that needs answered or studied, while a solution is performing thorough enough research to identify unstudied issues.

Designing the Research Project: this focuses on creating a research plan or overall approach to how you are going to solve the issue or problem identified. A challenge is finding relevant information, while a solution is using multiple methods of collecting data.

Collecting Data: obtaining the information needed to solve the identified issue or problem. A challenge can be finding enough data that is representative of the issue or problem being researched, while a solution may be to collect data from different techniques including interviews, observations, and questionnaires.

Interpreting Research Data: this focuses on interpreting and examining the research data and coming up with a conclusion that solves the problem. A challenge is making sure the conclusion is easy to understand and well thought out, while a solution is taking simplified steps to arrive at said conclusion.

Report Research Findings: report the research findings to those who need the data to make decisions. A challenge is presenting in an understandable format so they can be readily used in the decision-making process, while a solution may be to include tables, figures, and graphs to enhance clarity and impact.

Any research is a task in itself. When funded by the program directors or other important stakeholders in the scientific community, a submission of detailed research report with most appropriate conclusions and findings, are essential because otherwise the purpose of such a research fails. The scientific community needs to have a newer insight in the already researched areas or in the field of newer discoveries and explorations. In this regard, it is advisable that the research results are carefully measured so that the scope of miscalculation and errors decreases when the same research forms the base for other activities or further research. Besides, carefully analysis makes the subject matter clear, concerns heard and solutions more acceptable to the community, if any. In addition, the research must be written up in well-worded manner to maintain the cohesiveness and clarity in the report and avoid any confusion of the minds of the Users in the scientific community, thereby making the research more beneficial to its stakeholders. In the end, the accessibility of the report to the scientific community is also essential so that it is reached out to the group who can act the most or gets impacted the most out of the same.

Measuring, analyzing, writing up, and sharing research results are fundamental pillars of the scientific method. This benefits the scientific community, society as a whole, and progress of human knowledge. It also ensures the integrity, reliability, and openness of the scientific enterprise. Transparency and reproducibility, peer review, and building on previous work are also important reasons. Documenting the research process and providing descriptions of methods, measurement, and analyses allows other researchers to replicate the study. Reproducibility helps confirm the validity and reliability of findings. When research results become available to the community, it allows peer review and other to critically evaluate the study. This helps identify potential flaws, biases, or errors in the research, and improve the quality and accuracy of scientific knowledge. Lastly, others can build upon the work of their peers, leading to the development of more comprehensive theories and a deeper understanding of phenomena.
