Complete the following parts:
Part 1:
You are the research manager within your organization, and you are grappling with a problem that needs further research. Your immediate supervisor is interested in using experimentation and observation research techniques in researching this problem and requests that you prepare a presentation to educate him on these methods. You are unsure whether using these techniques would be adequate, but you set yourself on a mission to analyze the two research methods to provide him with the best information.
Compile a presentation with your analysis of experimentation and observation as they apply to your company and/or discipline. In your presentation, be sure to address the following questions/topics:
1. Describe specific experimentation and observational methods that could be used within your discipline to gather data. Include your rationale.
2.Evaluate their effectiveness with respect to certain areas within your discipline.
3. Include company or organizational examples, as relevant.
4. In your opinion, are there any ethical implications with the use of experimentation and observational methods within your discipline?
Part 2:
Compile a PowerPoint presentation introducing the importance of research and the use of research methods within an organization. Think about how this applies to your industry and, specifically, to a company that might use research methods discussed in this course. As you compile this PowerPoint, discuss the points identified below.
• Analyze the theoretical aspects of research methods to include the following:
importance of conducting effective research leading to good decision making,
analysis of the process associated with putting together a research study,
summary of research methods including advantages and disadvantages of each, and o effective presentation strategies for reporting research results.
• Apply learning from this course to your discipline to include the following:
Explain either a hypothetical or real research problem that could arise within a company in your discipline.
Discuss a minimum of two research methods that could be used to address this research problem.
Identify and explain specific challenges and opportunities associated with the use of these research methods within your discipline.
