• Question
• What is the present position of social sciences
  research in India ? Briefly describe the sources
  of financial support for social sciences research
  in India.

3

• What is Social Science Research ?
• Social science research is a systematic method
  of exploring, analyzing and conceptualizing human
  life in order to extend, correct or verify
  knowledge of human behaviour and social life.

4

• Where does social science research stand in India
  ?
• 1. Lack of scientific training in the
  methodology of research
• 2. Lack of proper co-ordination
• 3. Reluctance of Business units
• 4. Absence of code of conduct
• 5. No sufficient assistance
• 6. Library management and functioning is not
  satisfactory
• 7. Lack of timely availability of published data

5

• Sources of financial support for social sciences
  research in India.
• There are two major sources of financial support
• lt1gt by promotional body
• lt2gt by private body
• Promotional Bodies
• Research is funded by research promotional
  bodies like
• Research Foundation
• Indian Council of Social Science Research
• similar councils
• University Grants Commission of Research users
  like
• Planning commissions
• Government Department
• Business undertakings
• Financial Institutions

6

• Conclusion
• Efforts should be made to provide short duration
  intensive courses to provide scientific training
  in the methodology of research
• Efforts should be made to develop satisfactory
  liaison among all concerned business
  establishments and Universities for better and
  realistic researches.
• There is need for generating the confidence that
  the information / data obtained from a business
  unit will not be misused.
• There is need for developing a code of conduct
  for researchers.
• University Grant Commission must play a major
  role in providing all necessary support to
  research in all possible areas.
• Secondary data should be made available in
  various publications adequately

• Question
• What is a research design?
• Discuss main feature ingredients of
  experimental research design point out its
  limitations.

9

• A research design is
• - Preparation of design of the research project.
• - Need Yielding maximum information with
  minimum expenditure of effort.
• - A good design is flexible, appropriate,
  efficient economic.
• - Design which gives smallest experimental error
  is the best.

10

• Experimental research design
• - Used in experimental studies where hypothesis
  are tested.
• - Used in almost all the areas of scientific
  studies.
• - Three principles are
• 1.principle of replication
• 2 randomization
• 3.local control.
• -Classified into 2 categories
• 1.formal
• 2. Informal.
• -Informal design is less sophisticated.
• -Formal designs relating more control precise
  statistical procedures.

• CASE STUDY METHOD
• Meaning
• The case study method is a very popular form of
  qualitative analysis and it involves a careful
  and complete observation of a social unit, be
  that unit a person, a family, an institution, a
  cultural group or even the entire community.  It
  is a method of study in depth rather than breadth
  .

13

• Features and importance of case study method
• Case study method enables to understand fully
  the behavior pattern of the concerned unit.
  Through this method researches can obtain record
  of personal experiences Trace out the natural
  history of the social unit and its relationship
  This method facilitates intensive study of social
  unit, which is not possible, if we use
  observation method or collecting information
  through schedules. Case study constitute the
  perfect type of sociological material Case study
  techniques are indispensable for therapeutic and
  administrative purpose.

14

• Evolution and scope
• The case study method is widely used in
  systematic field research technique in sociology.
  Similarly anthropologists historian, novelists
  and dramatists have used this method. Even
  management experts use case study method for
  getting clues to several management problems

15

• Method with an example
• In this method the approach is qualitative and
  not quantitative Efforts are made to collect
  information concerning all aspects of life. Case
  study deepens our perception and gives us a clear
  insight into life.

16

• Example
• Under this method we not only study many crimes
  a man has done but shall peep into the factors
  that forced him to commit crimes when we are
  making a case study of a man as a criminals.  The
  objective of the case study may be to suggest
  ways to reform the criminal.

17

• Conclusion
• Through case study researcher can obtain real
  and enlightened record of personal experiences.
  Case studies are being undertaken in several
  disciplines particularly in sociology as a tool
  of scientific research.

Theory Of Research

• Research methodology is a way to find out
  solution on any problem on a scientific basis.
  Research has its special significance in solving
  various operational and planning problems in
  business and industry

20
Types of Research
21
Definition

• Descriptive Research
• This describes phenomena as they exist. It is
  used to identify and obtain information on the
  characteristics of a particular issue

Analytical Research Analytical research aims
to understand phenomena by discovering and
measuring causal relations among them
22
Differences

• Descriptive Research

• Analytical Research

• Fact-finding enquires and survey methods

• Collected data is analyzed and explained

• Ascertains and describes the characteristics of
  the issue

• Beyond merely describing the characteristics

• Describes of the state of affairs as it exists at
  present

• Explains existing state of affairs from available
  data

• No control over the variables

• Works within the constraints variables

23
Examples

• Descriptive Research

• Analytical Research

• What is the absentee rate amongst a particular
  group of workers?
• What are the feelings of workers faced with
  redundancy?

• How can the number of complaints made by
  customers be reduced?
• How can the absentee rate among employees be
  reduced?
• Why is the introduction of empowerment seen as a
  threat by departmental managers?
