Conducting research: An overview
Research is an activity that is performed with the main intent to add value to an existing body of knowledge. To perform research, it is important to understand the intended research design ("blueprint" to be followed), the intended research methodology (the plan of action to implement the "blueprint"), as well as the intended research methods (the tools required to help implement the "blueprint").
Be it empirical research or non-empirical research that you require, Business Re-Solution has you covered. Below is a list of published research studies that Business Re-Solution conducted:
