RESEARCH DESIGN
A research design is the detailed blueprint used to guide a research study toward its objectives.
The process of designing a research study involves many interrelated decisions.
The most significant decision is the choice of research approach, because it determines how the information will be obtained.
To design something also means to ensure that the pieces fit together.
The achievement of this fit among objective, research approach, and research tactics is inherently an iterative process in which earlier decisions are constantly reconsidered in light of subsequent decisions.
Types of Research Designs
The different research designs can be categorized into research design in case of:
1. Hypothesis- Testing Research Studies (Experimental Studies)
2. Exploratory Research Studies.
3. Descriptive And Diagnostic Research Studies
