Question

Discuss the different kind of Research.

Try to differentiate researchers conducted across the fields. Identify the field of interest of the research study.

Answer 1

Answer:

This chapter looks at the various research methodologies and research methods that are commonly used by researchers in the field of information systems. The research methodology and research method used in this research is acknowledged and discussed. The chapter starts off by providing a comprehensive introduction to research. Then the research methodologies and research methods particularly used in information systems are discussed. A significant effort has been made to clarify and provide distinctions between research methodology and research method. During the course of this research, when investigating the literature on research methodology and research methods, it was found that many researchers were using the two interchangeably. Therefore the two sections on research methodology and research methods have been treated separately. A section that compares and differentiates between the two is presented first, followed by the section on research methodology. Then the different types of research methodology are described and the two main types of research methodologies namely qualitative research methodology and qualitative research methodology is discussed. The research methodology that has been utilised for this research is discussed and the reason why the particular research method was chosen with proper justification is explained. Then research methods in general are discussed and the types of research methods suitable for information systems research are explained. The differences between the qualitative and quantitative research methods are elaborated upon. Since secondary data sources have been used in this research, a section is included to discuss the differences between the two and to explain the advantages of using secondary data sources for research. Then the research method, that is, the actual data collection and data analysis method is described and justification is provided on why the particular research method was chosen. Case study research method is combined with grounded theory research method for document analysis of archival data that was accessed via the Internet. Descriptive methods have been used to investigate the opportunities and issues of cloud computing with mobile phones for developing countries.

Explanation:

Answer 2

The different kinds of research are listed below-

Researches are conducted to obtain proof for certain occurrences.  The research consists of a hypothesis that needs to be proved. Fields that are based on research are psychology, sociology, Psychology, demographic studies, economics, and other subjects.

The different kinds of research are -

a. Explanatory research - This type of research is conducted when an in-depth study is required about the topic. A deeper insight is obtained through this study. The cause of the occurrence, the features, and the effect are studied.

b. Quantitative research- This type of research uses statistical diagrams, like graphs, pie charts, bar graphs, and others. This research is quite accurate as it uses numbers. It involves analysis and organization of numerical data.

c. Experimental research - This research associates a hypothesis, variables, and a conclusion.
