SUBJECT: RESEARCH METHODOLOGY IN BUSINESS

Q1. Explain Research Methodology. Bring out difference between Analytical and
Empirical research giving examples of each type of research.

Answer:

Introduction:

When you’re working on your first piece of academic research, there are
many different things to focus on and it can be overwhelming to stay on top of
everything. This is especially true of budding or inexperienced researchers. If
you’ve never put together a research proposal before or find yourself in a position
where you need to explain your research methodology decisions, there are a few
things you need to be aware of Once you understand the in's and out's, handling
academic research in the future will be less intimidating.
You can think of your research methodology as being a formula. One part
will be how you plan on putting your research into practice and another will be
why you feel this is the best way to approach it. Your research methodology is
ultimately a methodological and systematic plan to resolve your research problem.

Definition:
A Research Methodology is an outline of how a given piece of research is
carried out. It defines the techniques or procedures that are used to identify and
analyze information regarding a specific research topic.
The purpose of a research methodology is to explain the reason behind your
approach to your research- you will need to support your collection methods,
methods of analysis, and other key points of your work.

Difference between Analytical and Empirical research giving examples of each

type of research:
Analytical Research:

 Analytical research is a specific type of research that involves

critical thinking skills and. the evaluation of facts and information
relative to the research being conducted.

 Research of any type is a method to discover information. Within

analytical research articles, data and other important facts that pertain
to a project is compiled; after the information is collected and
evaluated, the sources are used to prove a hypothesis or support an
idea.
 Analytical research is based on mathematical calculation based on
existing experimental work.

 Analytical evidence is from data that is already stored, or historical

data. In other words, it was gathered through research of past data
instead of during a specific experiment or observation.

 Example: Examining the fluctuations of U. S. international trade

balance during 1974-1995 is an example of descriptive research; while
explaining why and how U.S. trade balance move in a particular way
over time is an example of analytical research.

Empirical Research:

 Empirical research is a type of research methodology that makes use of

verifiable evidence in order to arrive at research outcomes.

 In other words, this type of research relies solely on evidence obtained

through observation or scientific data collection methods.
  Empirical research can be carried out using qualitative or quantitative
observation methods, depending on the data sample, that is,
quantifiable data or non-numerical data.

 Unlike theoretical research that depends on preconceived notions about

the research variables, empirical research carries a scientific
investigation to measure the experimental probability of the research
variables.

 In an empirical research study, the research questions are built around

the core of the research, that is, the central issue which the research
seeks to resolve.

 Empirical research is purely based on experiment

Empirical Research:
Empirical means experience or data derived from observation or experiment.
Empirical Research articles are published in scholarly peer-reviewed journals.
Most empirical research articles include the following five components:

i. Introduction and Literature Review

ii. Methods
iii. Results
iv. Discussion or Conclusion
v. References

Example- An example of empirical analysis would be if a researcher was interested

in finding out whether listening to happy music promotes prosocial
behaviour. An experiment could be conducted where one group of the
audience is exposed to happy music and the other is not exposed to music
at all.
Q2. “A Study of Indian Food Cuisines” How will you do a research on this topic
