Research Methodology Research Methodology is approach which is being used for the inquiry. It is in the form of model which give a direction for the procedure of the research design. The following explained are the different type of research strategies. Experiment Experiments are the most common in natural sciences but also used in social sciences such as psychology. It seeks to determine if specific treatment influences an outcome. Subjects are divided into two groups: control group & experimental group. Treatment should have varying levels. Survey Survey are most popular and common strategy in business and management research. Provides description of trends, attitudes and opinions of a population by studying a sample of that population in a standardized way. It includes Questionnaires and Structured interviews for data collection with the intent of generalizing from a sample to the population.

Grounded Theory It is a strategy of theory building through both induction and deduction.Researcher initially derives general abstract theory from data generated by series of observations. These observations lead to generation of predictions that are then tested in further observations which may confirm or negate predictionsEthnographyEthnography is a type of inquiry in which researcher studies a cultural group over a prolonged period of time by data collection through observation and interviews.The research process is flexible and evolve in response to the realities encountered in the field.

Action Research Action Research is a strategy of inquiry where the purpose is not just to understand a process but also to promote change within an organization.People affected or involved in the implementation of change should become involved in the change process.
