introduction
_The importance of scientific research in the sciences in general
and the science of business administration in particular is that it is
one of the bases for the success and advancement of any
organization.
What is meant by scientific research?
is organized steps aimed at finding a solution to a specific problem
within the work environment
These steps answer the questions that baffle us within the work _
environment and help managers to make a decision and solve any
problem. Research in the field of management is often conducted in
a scientific way. Therefore it is important to understand what the
_ .term scientific means
The hallmarks of scientific Research

Scientific investigation:
what is the meaning of Scientific
?investigation
Scientific investigation is a quest to find the answer to a
question using the scientific method. In turn, the
scientific method is a systematic process that involves
using measurable observations to formulate, test or
modify a hypothesis. Finally, a hypothesis is a proposed
explanation for some observed phenomenon, based on
experience or research. Scientific investigation is what
people like you and me use to develop better models and
.explanations for the world around them
The hypothetic-deductive method
Scientific research follows a logical, structured, and
rigorous step-by-step (scientific method) approach to finding
Solution to a problem. The scientific method was developed
in the context of the natural sciences, as it was done It was
the basis of many important discoveries. Although there are
many objections to this And its use in social and commercial
research, The predominant approach to knowledge
generation remains in the natural, social and business
.sciences
The seven-step process in the hypothetico-
deductive method
The seven-step process in the hypothetico-deductive method .
The hypothetico‐deductive method involves the seven steps
listed and discussed next.
1. Identify a broad problem area.
2. Define the problem statement.
3. Develop hypotheses.
4. Determine measures.
5. Data collection.
6. Data analysis.
7. Interpretation of data
Review the deductive hypothesis method
The hypothetical - deductive method includes the seven steps for
defining and defining a broad problem area
Clarify the problem and assumption, define metrics, collect data,
analyze data, and interpret
Of the results. The scientific method uses deductive reasoning to
test a theory with respect to a scientist. A theory is an organized
set of assumptions that generate testable predictions) on a topic of
interest. In deductive reasoning, we operate from the general to the
most specific. We start with a general theory and then define
Down this theory to specific hypotheses that we can test. We
.narrow it further when we collect specific information
