1. Business Research Foundations

Key Concepts & Definitions

  • Business research : Business research is a systematic process of gathering, recording, and analyzing data to guide managerial decisions.
  • Empirical, logical, structured : These describe business research as data-based, reasoned, and organized to reduce uncertainty in business operations.
  • Exploratory research : Exploratory research clarifies ambiguous problems or generates new ideas, using flexible and highly qualitative approaches.

Essential Points

  • Business research reduces uncertainty by using evidence from collected data rather than intuition.
  • Exploratory research is designed for vague problems and aims to generate insights for later study.
  • Descriptive research answers Who, What, When, Where, and How but not Why.
  • Causal research investigates cause–effect relationships between variables.

Memory Hook

Think E for Explore: vague problem → flexible qualitative insight first.
