An understanding of business research methods is important for several reasons: it helps avoid common pitfalls, critically evaluate other research, and better understand your own topics of interest. Values influence the ethical decisions of researchers. Sources of evidence-based management include practitioner expertise, local context evidence, best research evidence, and perspectives of affected parties. A literature review identifies key sources and allows comparison to other work. Data collection gathers information to address the research question. Research design is a framework for all stages of data collection and analysis. Well-formulated research questions provide clarity and focus.
