What is a Research Design?

• As the name suggests, it is the design of your
  whole research. It is like a general plan about
  what you will do and how you will answer the
  research question.
• It includes the strategies and methodologies you
  will use to collect and analyse the data. While
  you plan the method and analysis accordingly, the
  design ensures relevant information to address
  the research problem logically and clearly.
• The relevant information allows you to test a
  theory and conduct a research.
• Beginning the research before collecting the
  related information is the common mistake done by
  the researchers.

Types of research Design

• While your research design deals with the related
  information of the proposed research question,
  the whole idea of designing your research is
  broadly divided into two groups.
• Exploratory Exploratory research, aims to
  explore the specific aspects of the research area
  without defining a conclusion to it.
• Conclusive Conclusive research, provides a
  definite conclusion to the proposed research.

Exploratory Research
Typically qualitative data analysis
Very few prior study material
Generation of new ideas
Development of tentative theories
Is only explanatory
5
Conclusive Research
Relatively large studies
Prefer quantitative data analysis
Works on old ideas
Is descriptive and conclusive
Development of final theories
