Outline
What is research design? A framework Activities of Project design A step-by-step approach Purpose of research design
A plan, structure and strategy of investigation to obtain answers to the research questions. E.g., Designing as painting:
Work in all areas of canvas Shapes and colors in one section inspires another Sometimes step back, eyes half closed Ponder quality and harmony of the whole
A framework
Research design
Conceptual design
Research objective
Research framework
Research issue Definition of concepts
Research strategy
Research planning
Project design
Conceptual design
Logical design You wish to achieve in Determines what, why, and how much to study Use of concepts and relationships between them
Contd
problems with supply of goods. Problems like logistics, transport management, arrangements with suppliers, customer friendly etc Objective: to make recommendation towards solving problems by taking views, background of problems and suggested solutions to the problems.
Contd
logistics and steering on effectiveness, efficiency, and organizational change will give overview on key issues. With the overview you can map the opinion on problems and solutions by parties in an organization
Logistics &steering
Results of analysis
Contd
Research issue: what kind of information needed and you need to formulate research questions
the parties on problems of efficiency with flow of goods and solutions to these problems?
Definitions of concepts: concepts come up that take central stage, determines the outlook of research project
Definitions of concepts: Logistics as the whole of flow of goods within individual department stores of the company and the way these flows are directed.
Contd
and weekly reports of process controllers, feel much information can be obtained if you observe flow of goods of selected products yourself
Research strategy: set of decisions that concern the way in which to approach your research
of problems in one particular organization. Interviews, observations of flow of goods and study of documents to get insight of problems in all aspects
Contd
Research planning: practical part of research project and writing final report or research report
E.g., project assignment will take 25 weeks, 3 wks spent on research design. Framework of assignment consist interviewing, observations and 3 wks on doing 15 interviews, 10 days for systematizing and recording impressions, another 15 days for linking between interviews and observations, another 10 wks for analyzing all material and writing draft. Finally another 6 weeks to relate your findings to your theoretical framework and process all these to final draft in form thesis.

Explore project context and isolate research objectives Construct research framework to realize research objective Examine information and Determine key formulate into research issue concepts and tailor definitions Examine research material for research issue to get sound answer Determine research strategy to follow processing the answers to questions Design research plan to lay down the activities
