1REFLECTIVE JOURNAL REFLECTIVE JOURNAL WEEK/DATE- Week 1 TOPIC- Choosing a topic for business research For the purpose of an effective an elaborate research schedule, which can help in givinginsights about the procedures of research as well as about the problems to be explored in realcase scenarios, it is of crucial importance to choose a relevant topic. The topic should be suchthat there remains considerable scope of exploration and filling the gaps present in the existingworks which have been done in that arena. Keeping this in mind the topic I chose for furtherresearch was the topic of “Relation between the GDP and the Birth rates” of the nations acrossthe world (Bryman and Bell 2015). WEEK/DATE- Week 2 TOPIC- Searching for information regarding my chosen area of exploration The topic I chose for research purpose proved to be a widely studied and explored topic.To conduct my research successfully it was important to observe the assertions and argumentsalready prevailing in this aspect. To study the same I conducted some initial investigations of thematerials available online. There were different conflicting information regarding therelationship between the economic growth of a country and its fertility rate (Trochim, Donnellyand Arora 2015). While some asserted the presence of such relation, others negated it. Therewere also confusions regarding the direction of relationship.

2REFLECTIVE JOURNAL WEEK/DATE- Week 3 TOPIC- Conducting a literature review (Searching for literatures) With too much of conflicting information pouring in, it was necessary to sort theinformation according to time and relevance. For this, an extensive review of existing literatureswas required. For this purpose, I started searching for relevant, authentic and elaborate literaryworks, which have been done in this domain already (Babin et al. 2012). This activity ofsearching for literatures benefited me by improving my skills for gathering relevant informationand my ability to study, understand and sort them according to timeline and relevance. WEEK/DATE- Week 4 TOPIC- Gathering insights from the literatures While conducting the literature review I found that the conflict in the information wasmainly attributed to the changes in the thought process of the scholars over time. The initialMalthusian views regarding the linkage between the concerned variable were that there exists apositive relation between the two concerned variables (Hair 2015). However, as I got to studyfrom the present literatures, the succeeding literatures of those of the post-Malthus era scholarsargued in favor of the presence of a negative relation between the economic dynamics and thefertility rates of the countries. Many of these works tried to strengthen their views byincorporating empirical evidences also.
