1 McGraw-Hill/Irwin Business Research Methods, 10eCopyright © 2008 by The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All Rights Reserved. Chapter 6 Research Design: An Overview

2 6-2 What Is Research Design? Blueprint Plan Guide Framework

3 6-3 Design in the Research Process

4 6-4 Descriptors of Research Design Experimental Effects Perceptual Awareness Perceptual Awareness Research Environment Descriptors Question Crystallization Data Collection Method Time Dimension Topical Scope Purpose of Study

5 6-5 Degree of Question Crystallization Exploratory Study Loose structure Expand understanding Provide insight Develop hypotheses Formal Study Precise procedures Begins with hypotheses Answers research questions

6 6-6 Desired Outcomes of Exploratory Studies Established range and scope of possible management decisions Established major dimensions of research task Defined a set of subsidiary questions that can guide research design

7 6-7 Desired Outcomes of Exploratory Studies (cont.) Developed hypotheses about possible causes of management dilemma Learned which hypotheses can be safely ignored Concluded additional research is not needed or not feasible

8 6-8 Commonly Used Exploratory Techniques Secondary Data Analysis Focus Groups Experience Surveys

9 6-9 Focus Groups Group discussion 6-10 participants Moderator-led 90 minutes-2 hours

19 6-19 Purpose of the Study ReportingDescriptive Casual - Explanatory Causal - Predictive

20 6-20 Descriptive Studies When? How much? What? Who? Where?

21 6-21 Descriptive Studies Descriptions of population characteristics Descriptions of population characteristics Estimates of frequency of characteristics Estimates of frequency of characteristics Discovery of associations among variables Discovery of associations among variables

23 6-23 Experimental Effects Experiment Study involving the manipulation or control of one or more variables to determine the effect on another variable Ex Post Facto Study After-the-fact report on what happened to the measured variable

24 6-24 Mills Method of Agreement

25 6-25 Mills Method of Difference

26 6-26 Causal Studies Asymmetrical Reciprocal Symmetrical

27 6-27 Asymmetrical Casual Relationships Stimulus-Response Disposition-Behavior Property- Behavior Property- Disposition

28 6-28 Exhibit 6-6 Types of Asymmetrical Causal Relationships Relationship TypeNature of RelationshipExamples Stimulus-responseAn event or change results in a response from some object. A change in work rules leads to a higher level of worker output. A change in government economic policy restricts corporate financial decisions. A price increase results in fewer unit sales. Property-dispositionAn existing property causes a disposition. Age and attitudes about saving. Gender attitudes toward social issues. Social class and opinions about taxation. Disposition-behaviorA disposition causes a specific behavior. Opinions about a brand and its purchase. Job satisfaction and work output. Moral values and tax cheating. Property-behaviorAn existing property causes a specific behavior. Stage of the family life cycle and purchases of furniture. Social class and family savings patterns. Age and sports participation.

29 6-29 Covariation between A and B Covariation between A and B Evidence of Causality Time order of events No other possible causes of B No other possible causes of B

31 6-31 Participants’ Perceptional Awareness No deviation perceived Deviations perceived as unrelated Deviations perceived as researcher-induced

32 6-32 Descriptors of Research Design CategoryOptions The degree to which the research question has been crystallized Exploratory study Formal study The method of data collection Monitoring Communication Study The power of the researcher to produce effects in the variables under study Experimental Ex post facto The purpose of the study Reporting Descriptive Causal-Explanatory Causal-Predictive The time dimension Cross-sectional Longitudinal The topical scope—breadth and depth—of the study Case Statistical study The research environment Field setting Laboratory research Simulation The participants’ perceptional awareness of the research activity Actual routine Modified routine
