• Making Research Decisions
• Based on the analysis of the last six months'
  sales, your boss notices that sales of beef
  products are declining in your chain's
  restaurants.  As beef entrée sales decline, so do
  profits.  Fearing beef sales have declined due to
  several newspaper stories reporting E.coli
  contamination discovered at area grocery stores,
  he suggests a survey of area restaurants to see
  if the situation is pervasive (page 94, number
  5). 
• What do you think of this research suggestion?
  How, if at all, could you improve on your boss's
  formulation of the research question?
