8 Steps model of the Research Process



Explain the research process with help of 8 steps model.


The topic of research may be anything for example it can be related to any health topic business topic
national economy ,education or any disease or habit you can change the example according to the 
requirements .....in the following Research Process Exercise Habit example is taken : 

Problem Identification:
Researcher first need to identify a problem. The research problem may be something the
agency identifies as a problem, some knowledge or information that is needed by the agency.
Problem can be based on different things related to health issues, wealth or business etc. 

Literature Review:
The researcher must learn more about the topic under Investigation. To do this, the researcher 
must review the literature related to the research problem. This step is the foundation of the problem 
area. The review of literature also tells the researcher about what studies have been conducted in the 
past, and the conclusions in the problem area. In the Exercise habit study, the review of literature
enables the researcher to discover statistics related to the long-term effects of childhood Exercise habit in terms of health issues and to combat various diseases.

Problem Clarification:
In this the researcher clarifies the problem. This can only be done after literature review, it guides the 
researcher in clarifying and narrowing the research project. In the example, the programmer has identified childhood the Exercise habits the problem and the purpose of the study. This topic could be studied based on genetics. The programmer has decided that the purpose of the study is to determine if exercising everyday will improve the individual’s health.


Terms and Concepts:
It differs depending on who is reading the study. In the Exercise habit study the individual’s health is defined as physical health problem. The concept of physical health may also be defined and measured in many ways. In this case, the programmer decides to more narrowly define “individual health” to refer to the areas of weight, percentage of body fat, and cholesterol. By defining the terms or concepts more narrowly, make the concepts more understandable to the reader.

Population:
In this we can take a look on a specific group of people. First, it narrows the scope of the study.
Second, the population identifies the group that the researcher’s efforts will be focused on within the study.Finally, the researcher Identifies the group that the results will apply to at the conclusion of the study.

Instrumentation Plan:
It is the Base for the entire Research, specifying who will participate in the study; how, when, and where data will be collected.In the Exercise habit study, the researcher has decided to have the children participate in a exercise program for some period. The group of participants is called the sample selected from the population specified for the study. The researcher develops the plan for the walking program, indicating what data will be collected, when and how the data will be collected, who will collect the data, and how the data will be analyzed.


Data Collection:
Collection of data can be done through online survey, with a questionnaire, through observations, or from the literature. In the Exercise habit, the programmers will be collecting data on the defined variables, weight, percentage of body fat, cholesterol levels, and the number of days the person walked a total of 5,000 steps during the class.


Data Analyzation:
After collecting the required data the researcher finally have to analyze the data. In the Exercise habit, the researcher elaborate the measurements of weight, percentage of body fat, and cholesterol that were taken at the first meeting of the subjects to the measurements of the same variables at the final program session. The results of the study also provide valuable information about one strategy to combat childhood Exercise habit in the community.

Difference between Downsizing and Reengineering with real life example

Explain difference between Downsizing and Re-engineering with real life example? Downsizing = Downsizing is used to reduce the size in order to improve its financial performance, usually by laying off employees.Businesses use several techniques in downsizing, including providing incentives to take early retirement and transfer to subsidiary companies, but the most common technique is to simply terminate the employment of a certain number of people. Downsizing often takes place as part of a larger restructuring program at a company. Although it's usually thought of as a strategy companies use to become smaller, downsizing can also be the result of company mergers, acquisitions, and takeovers.Its most common form comes in employee layoffs, which reduce payroll costs for the company. Downsizing may also involve shuttering some operations or offering certain employees early retirement. Downsizing is typically seen during economic downturns in order to improve efficienc...

What are the Crosby’s 14 Steps Work.

The 14 Steps of Crosby are following. 1. Management Commitment= It is necessary to consistently produce quality products and services at the optimum price. This commitment must also be transparent to all employees for the prevention of defects in all the operating departments. 2. Improved Quality= Search for team members who will model quality improvement commitment, every function of an operation must contributes to defect levels, every function must participate in the quality improvement effort . The quality improvement team should be able to effectively commit themselves to improvement of quality. 3. Measuring the Quality= Firstly you have to know exactly where your products and services lie when it comes to conforming to requirements. Thus, the third step on Crosby's list is to measure quality. Determine where there is room for improvement and where potential for improvement exists. 4. Cost of Quality= Explain how the cost of quality figures into the overal...

Discuss national income and Gross domestic product effect on national income.

Discuss national income and Gross domestic product effect on national income. Before we start to explain let’s take a look on closed and open economy In a closed economy, all output is sold domestically, and expenditure is divided into three components: consumption, investment, and government purchases. Y = C + I + G In this equation Y is the total output, C is the total consumption, I is the total investment and G is the total government expenditure. In an open economy, some output is sold domestically and some are exported abroad.                                                                   Y = C + I + G + NX In the above equation each word stands for is following: Consumption (C) Investment (I) Government Purchases (G) Net Exports (NX) Consumption : The spending by households on goods and services, with the exc...
