Business Research Defined Business research is the application of the scientific method in searching for the truth about business phenomena. The process includes: idea and theory development problem definition searching for and collecting information analyzing data communicating the findings and their implications © 2010 South-Western/Cengage Learning.

Business Research Defined This definition suggests that business research information is: not intuitive or haphazardly gathered accurate and objective relevant to all aspects of the business limited by one’s definition of business Not-for-profit organizations and governmental agencies can use research in much the same was as managers in for-profit organizations. © 2010 South-Western/Cengage Learning.

Applied and Basic Business Research Applied business research conducted to address a specific business decision for a specific firm or organization. Example: Should McDonald’s add Italian pasta dinners to its menu? Which health insurance plan should a business provide for its employees? © 2010 South-Western/Cengage Learning. All rights reserved. May not be scanned, copied or duplicated, or posted to a publically accessible website, in whole or in part.

Applied and Basic Business Research Basic business research (also called pure research) conducted without a specific decision in mind that usually does not address the needs of a specific organization. Attempts to expand the limits of knowledge in general. Not aimed at solving a pragmatic problem. Example: Do consumers experience cognitive dissonance in low-involvement situations? Does employee tenure with a company influence productivity? © 2010 South-Western/Cengage Learning. All rights reserved.

Evaluating the Course of Actions Evaluation Research The formal, objective measurement and appraisal of the extent a given activity, project, or program has achieved its objectives.

When is Business Research Needed? The determination of the need for research centers on: Time constraints The availability of data The nature of the decision to be made Benefits versus costs (the value of the research information in relation to costs) Will the payoff or rate of return be worth the investment? Will the information improve the quality of the managerial decision enough to warrant the expenditure? Is the expenditure the best use of the available funds? © 2010 South-Western/Cengage Learning.

Business Research in the 21st Century Communication Technologies Always “connected”—time, place, and distance are irrelevant. Decreases in information acquisition, storage, access, and transmission costs. Global Business Research Business research is increasingly global. Must understand the nature of particular markets.
