• It was the chemist Henry Cavendish (1731
  1810), who discovered the composition of water,
  when he experimented with hydrogen and oxygen and
  mixed these elements together to create an
  explosion (oxyhydrogen effect). In 1811 the
  Italian physician Amedeo Avogadro
  finally found the H2O formula for water.

Introduction
Several authors have described research
differently. It often starts with a problem or a
question in order to seek answers to questions
with the application of systematic and
scientific methods. Thus, research is the
scientific and systematic approach towards
definite investigation necessitating formulation
of hypothesis, collection of data on relevant
constructs, analysis and interpretation of
results and reaches the conclusions as solution
of generalizations.
10
Introduction
Search for knowledge or systematic investigation
to establish facts. Literally, research means
(re-search) or search again for the
knowledge/solutions to solve the existing
problems. Search for new knowledge or to develop
new concepts and theories. The systematic
inquiry which provides information for decision
making.
11
Meaning of Research
Research means discovering, interpreting and the
development of methods and systems for the
advancement of human knowledge on a wide variety
of scientific matters of world and the universe.
12
Definition of Research

• Grinnell The word research is composed of two
  syllables, re and search.
• Fred Kerlinger (1986) also endorsed the thought an
  d

stated that Scientific research is
a systematic, of propositions
controlled and critical examination
about several phenomena Lundberg (1942) made one
of the earliest distinctions who stated that
Scientific methods consist of systematic
observation, classification, and interpretation
of data.
13
Definition (cont..)

• Webster Dictionary A careful inquiry or
  examination in seeking facts or principles
  diligent investigation in order to ascertain
  something.
• Robert Ross Research is essentially an
  investigation, a recording and analysis of
  evidence for the purpose of gaining knowledge.

14
Definition (cont..)

• Fred Kerlinger Research is an organized inquiry
  designed and carried out to provide information
  for solving a problem.
• Francies Rummel Research is a careful inquiry
  or examination to discover new information or
  relationships and to expand and to verify
  existing knowledge.

15
Definition (cont..)

• Clifford Woody Research comprises of defining
  and redefining problems, formulating hypothesis
  or suggested solutions making deductions and
  reaching conclusions and at last carefully
  testing the conclusions to determine whether
  they fit the formulating hypothesis

16
Definition (cont..)

• George G. Mouly Research is considered to be
  the more formal, systematic, intensive process
  of carrying the scientific method of analysis.
  It involves a more systematic structure of
  investigation, usually resulting in some sort of
  formal record of procedures and report of result
  or conclusions.
• R.R. Rusk Research is a point of view, an
  attitude of inquiry or a frame of mind. It asks
  questions which have hitherto (up till now) not
  been asked and it seeks to answer them by
  following a fairly definite procedure. It is not
  a mere theorizing, but rather an attempt to
  elicit fact and to face them once they have
  assembled

Business Research
The fundamental value of business research is
that it curtails uncertainty by providing
information that improves the decision-making
ability. It identifies problem or opportunities,
select and implement a course of action and
evaluate the adopted course of action.
18
Business Research
Business research is a systematic inquiry that
provides information to guide managerial
decisions. More specifically, it is a process of
planning, acquiring, analyzing, and
disseminating relevant data, information, and
insights to decision makers in ways that mobilize
the organization to take appropriate actions
that, in turn, maximize business performance.
19
Definition of Business Research

• Easterby-Smith et al. (2002) stated business
  research must have some practical consequences,
  either immediately, when it is directed for the
  solution of an immediate business problem or
  when the theory or model developed can be
  implemented and tested in a business situation.
• Business research is defined as the systematic
  and objective process of generating information
  for aid in making business decisions.

Definition Suggests

1. Research information is neither intuitive nor
   haphazardly gathered.
2. The information generated or data collected and
   analyzed should be accurate.
3. The objective is to facilitate the managerial
   decision-making process for all aspects of a
   business finance, marketing, personnel, and so
   on.
4. An essential tool for management in its
   problem-solving and decision-making activities,
   business research generates and provides the
   necessary qualitative or quantitative information
   upon which to base decisions. By reducing the
   uncertainty of decisions, research reduces the
   risk of making wrong decisions.
