RESEARCH 2
Introduction
A research question is 'a question that a research project sets out to answer'. Choosing a research
question is an essential element of both quantitative and qualitative research (Albert & Grzeda,
2015). Investigation will require data collection and analysis, and the methodology for this will
vary widely. Therefore, it is considered significant to keep in mind several elements while
defining the research questions, this is considered major step it is because the overall objective of
conducting the study is based on the research question (Loka et al., 2019).
In selecting the methodology it is important to frame the research question because this can help
in selecting the research approach and philosophies (Lynch, 2018). The purpose of the report is
to analyze the ways in which research topics are developed and refined are discussed. The
discussion was also made on identifying the research question which support in assisting the
research projects. The aim is also to define the SMART objectives which help in guiding
business research project.
Development of research topics
There are various ways in which research topics will be developed which includes brainstorming
of the ideas by defining the strong ideas regarding the current political, social controversy. The
ideas will also generated by describing the personal interest and major problem which have to be
research because of understanding more about the topic (Demir, 2015). After developing the
ideas and opinions related to various topics and problems background information leads to be
reviewed to understand the enough information about the topics we have selected (Cushion,
2018).
In this the ideas which are generated are narrowed so that research will be conducted in effective
manner. While defining the background information about the topic the elements which should
be covered in the topics are divided into various areas such as time frame, population group,
culture etc. After defining the topic are keywords has to be identified so that topic will be
described in more flexible manner by describing the articles and general information (Howlett et
al., 2016).
