Read this article to learn about:- 1. Meaning and Significance of a Research Design 2. Different Components of Research Design. Meaning and Significance of a Research Design: The formidable problem that follows the task of defining the research problem is the preparation of the design of the research project, popularly known as the 'research design.' Decisions regarding what, where, when, [...]
This article throws light upon the ten main steps involved in the research process. The steps are: 1. Formulating the Research Problem 2. Extensive Literature Survey 3. Development of Working Hypotheses 4. Preparing the Research Design 5. Determining Sample Design 6. Collecting the Data 7. Execution of the Project 8. Analysis of Data 9. Hypothesis-Testing 10. Generalisations and Interpretation. Step [...]
Different research designs can be conveniently described if we categorize them as: 1. Research Design in Case of Exploratory Research Studies 2. Research Design in Case of Descriptive and Diagnostic Research Studies 3. Research Design in Case of Hypothesis-Testing Research Studies. 1. Research Design in Case of Exploratory Research Studies: Exploratory research studies are also termed as formulative research studies. [...]
This article will help you to make comparison between internal and external proposal made by a researcher in the firm. Difference # Internal Proposals: Internal proposals are a memo from the researcher to management outlining the problem statement, study objectives, research design, and schedule is enough to start an exploratory study. Privately and publicly held firms are concerned with how [...]

Planning of Experiments: Experiments are carried out in order to test the validity of a hypothesis or to estimate the magnitude of an effect. But it is the common characteristic of experiments that when they are repeated the effects of [...]
In this design the experimental material is divided into groups, each of which is subjected to a single trial or replication. The object is to keep the experimental errors as small as possible at all stages of the experiment. Then, when the units assigned to the successive groups, all units which go in the same group should be closely comparable. [...]
When there are two factors to be considered, the material can be divided into homogeneous groups by the second factor so that each, experimental unit falls into one of the first factor groups and one of the second factor groups. Here we adopt the indigenous device of arranging the data known as 'Latin Square Designs'. In this design the field [...]
