How to find, evaluate, and process Information.

A. Effective process for conducting business research.

Carefully plan and initiate the research process to familiarize yourself with the
subject matter, identify the critical information gaps you face, and prioritize the
questions needed to fill those gaps. Then use primary and secondary research as
needed to find the data and information you need. Process findings by analyzing
both textual and numerical information to extract averages, trends, and other
insights. Apply your findings by summarizing information to help others, draw
conclusions or make recommendations based on what you've learned. Finally,
manage information effectively so that you and others can later retrieve it and reuse
it in other projects.

B. Secondary research and explain how to evaluate, locate, and document information
sources.

Secondary research involves the collection of information originally collected for

another research project or effort. Secondary research is usually done before
primary research to save time and money in case the necessary information has
already been collected by someone else.

Information should be obtained from reputable sources with a reputation for

honesty and reliability. Sources should also be fair. The purpose of the material must
be known, and the author must be credible. The information must contain a
reference to the source of the information (if otherwise obtained) and must be
 independently verifiable. Documentation must be current, complete, and supported
by evidence. Finally, the information should look logical.

The tasks involved in finding secondary sources of data and information vary greatly
from project to project, but the bulk of the work will involve finding information in
companies, public or university libraries, or online. The library offers a wide variety
of business books, databases, newspapers, magazines, directories, almanacs, and
government publications. Some of these printed sources contain information not
available online, while other online sources contain information available by
subscription. Librarians can be very helpful if you need advice on how to organize
your research or find specific sources.

Finding information online is often more complicated than simply typing a few terms
into a search engine. Universal search engines are sophisticated tools, but even
when used judiciously, they can't find everything on the web. Additionally, without
human reviewers to evaluate the quality and ranking of your search results, you
can't always be confident in the quality of your search results. Web directories,
metasearch engines, and online databases all complement the functionality of the
universal search engine. Use online monitoring tools to receive notifications of new
material on topics of interest.

To get the most out of any search engine or database, carefully consider the
information you need before you start searching, read and understand the
instructions for use of each online search tool, and pay attention to the details.
Searches that can dramatically affect results, carefully review search, and display
options to optimize results, try variations of search terms if you can't find what
you're looking for, adjust search scope Try narrowing or widening the search range.

C. Primary research and outline the steps involved in conducting surveys and
interviews.
Primary research is the first research you do, and the two most common methods
are surveys and interviews. Conducting a survey involves selecting a representative
 group of respondents from the population being surveyed, creating a questionnaire
containing carefully crafted and ordered questions, and conducting the actual survey
to gather information. included. Conducting an interview starts with researching the
person you want to interview, then formulating the main idea so that the interview
is focused. Choose the length, style, and structure of your interview, then select the
question type to get the kind of information you want. Each question is designed to
collect useful answers. Limit your questions to the most important ones. Record the
interview if the other person allows it and review your notes after the interview.

D. The major tasks involved in processing research results

In most cases, you will need to prepare your research in some way before applying it
to your report or presentation. The three basic methods of processing oral
information are citation (using the other person's words directly with proper
attribution), and paraphrasing (repeating the other person's words in your own to
create a short version of the text Processing numerical data may involve various
statistical analysis techniques. Three basic calculations are the mean (what people
refer to when they say "mean"), the median (a set of midpoints that give equal
numbers of small and large values), and the mode (the midpoint of the series) the
most common value for). series). Processing the results may also include looking for
trends and distinguishing causation from correlation or pure chance.

E. How to summarize research results and present conclusions and recommendations.

Research results can be used in a variety of ways depending on the purpose of the
report or presentation. Executive Her Summary is an unbiased summary of the
information uncovered in the survey. Filter out details and present only the most
important ideas. A conclusion is an analysis of what the results mean (interpretation
of facts). A recommendation is your opinion (based on common sense and logic)
about a course of action to take.
