Management Research Process Overview

The research process consists of 6 key stages: 1) Clarifying the research question by exploring the management dilemma and defining the research questions. 2) Developing a research proposal and design strategy that outlines the type, purpose, time frame, scope and environment of the research. 3) Collecting data through instrument development, pilot testing, sampling design and data collection. 4) Analyzing and interpreting the collected data. 5) Reporting the research findings. 6) Making a management decision based on the research.

The Research Process The Research Process consists of the following stages: Clarifying the Research Question

Discover the Management Dilemma - exploration Define the Management Question - exploration Define the Research Question(s) Refine the Research Question(s)

Research Proposal Research Design Strategy (type, purpose, time frame, scope, environment)

Data Collection Design Sampling Design Instrument Development & Pilot Testing

Data Collection & Preparation Data Analysis & Interpretation Research Reporting Management Decision

Management-Research Question Hierarchy STEP 1: Management Dilemma

What symptoms cause management concern? What environmental stimuli raise management interest?
How can management eliminate the negative symptoms? How can management fully capitalize on an opportunity? What plausible courses of action are available to management to correct the problem or take advantage of the opportunity, and which should be considered?

STEP 2: Management Question

STEP 3: Research Question(s)

STEP 4: Investigative Questions

What does the manager need to know to choose the best alternative from the available courses of action? What should be asked or observed to obtain the information the manager needs? What is the recommended course of action, given the research findings?

STEP 5: Measurement Questions

STEP 6: Management Decision

Exploration It typically begins with a search of published data. In addition, researchers often seek out people who are well informed on the topic, especially those who have clearly stated positions on controversial aspects of the problem.
