“What & How” of a Business Research

To begin with a business research, it should be made sure that the question asked is valid and fair and relates directly to the need for information. Clear research objectives must be stated.  A systematic data collection technique should be adopted, keeping in mind the sample population. 

Moving ahead is the data analysis section where the gathered data should be evaluated carefully in a sequential manner. The assessment of this data would define the validity of the research results. For example, the critical technological advancements should not be overlooked while determining the range of new technologies to invest in as these inaccuracies will lead to a poor investment decision.

One important attribute about business research is that the business related issues and problems cannot be narrowly linked to a single academic discipline like chemistry. There are many different academic disciplines like mathematics, sociology, economics, politics, history and language that can be classified under business.

Securing Admission into a PhD Program

Taking up a PhD program is not easy. It needs a lot of resolution and groundwork. It is a good idea to carry out a research on the colleges or universities which you prefer to seek admission for PhD program. Various study guides are available today by which you can prepare for the GRE exam which is of extreme importance in PhD admissions. 

Also, you need to focus on programs which match your academic interests as well as personal requirements. Choose a program after judging the feasibility of research. The duration, costs involved, availability of a guide and resources are some conditions which will determine your decision. If you are a working professional then you will need to allocate ample time for research.

In case, the author gets cited in text, then follow it with the year, in alternate case include last name and year separated by a ‘,’ within parentheses. In case of 2 authors use ‘and’ and for more than 3 authors use ‘et al’. If there is more than one reference to an author, insert a, b etc.in text as well as in the list.

Editing Your Dissertation Paper Smartly

Editing is what you start when you complete your first draft. Herein, you go through your draft carefully to check whether the dissertation is well organized, there are proper evidences to confirm your arguments, and that the shifts between paragraphs are effective or not. This means that editing occurs at different levels such as content, structure, style, and citations. This is exactly how you are supposed to edit for making an effective final dissertation.

At the content level, you need to check whether the paper includes everything that is essential as well as relevant as per your goal of writing the dissertation. Further, you also need to see whether the claims are precise and consistent, arguments are complete, each argument has adequate evidence or not. 

You now monitor the writing style in the paragraphs. Here, you ensure that an appropriate tone such as formal is used consistently, proper gendered language is retained, passive voice is not used, unnecessary words such as ‘due to the fact that’ and ‘generally’ are not used. At the end, editing includes checking the citations. Herein, you need to ensure that the quotes, ideas, and paraphrases are properly cited and that too in the correct format. The moment you edit at different levels, you are bound to make drastic changes to the content of your paper.

How to follow a Citation Style Perfectly

A citation depicts the sources quoted in an essay, report, a book, anthology, or a thesis to substantiate a point or corroborate the evidence given. In a sense citations are the rock-solid suggestions to the breadth of your research and knowledge on a subject. It also simultaneously is a way of paying homage to the original source or author of an idea or concept. 

Since citations are a crucial part of any in-depth analysis, it should be mentioned in a particular format. Often researchers are confounded about these varying citation styles – so, when that happens it is always good to ask the supervisor which style he would prefer. 

Following a citation style is not an easy task – since each school of style has a different approach to grammar, numbers, spacing, fonts and overall presentation. Also since citing other authors or works is a way of avoiding plagiarism and other copyright issues, it’s critically important to include citations. 

Largely there are five broad categories of formats that editors, writers and publishers follow. These are the APA, CSE, Chicago, MLA and Turabian. 

While MLA (Modern Language Association) stresses on double spacing when a source is being mentioned, the Chicago style highlights two further sub styles under its broad category. Further MLA also stresses that the in-text citation should be mentioned along with the works-cited page later. 

With so many intricate rules to formatting a citation, it is best to understand how each style will help justify the specific work it is being included in. Thus, to be on the safe side, it is important to follow some established norms while choosing a particular format. For example the APA style is usually used in works of psychology and social sciences – while MLA helps in literature, arts, and humanities and in some other disciplines. Chicago and Turabian are both preferred in history and some other disciplines. 

Since most citation styles have been elaborated on in PDF formats online – any student who wishes to refer to them can directly refer to these style guides online. 

With publishers, research institutions and universities becoming more and more aware of plagiarism, and scientific writing, the value of a citation increases manifolds. Thus to do absolute justice to one’s work and honour publishing protocol– a proper and detailed mention of the works, authors (along with the page numbers and year published) is a crucial tool to avoid facing any punishment.

Humanities - The Twiddle Thumbs

Humanities, a subject broadly marked by the study of human society, history and social science are characterized unfavorable to majority. Studying history or philosophy is not propitious comparable to hardheaded subjects namely science or commerce.  Where science is considered to be a cerebral subject endowing students to knock their heads hard, humanities is treated as futile subject, a stream outlining weak section.Students with a notion of studying dillydally commonly exercise their choices on humanities. These are some abstract principals associated with a student of humanities.

Definite percentages for streams are determined in schools. Lowest percentage is accorded to humanities and highest to science followed by commerce. Besides the level of interests in the streams, students are allotted to subjects on the grounds of their marks. A student with his interest lying in science stream cannot opt for one, if he has scored below the definite marks required for opting science. The qualifying marks to meet the requirements to opt science are above 90% and the lowest will conclusively be driven to humanities. A below average student will eventually be accredited to humanities if he is incapable to make it to science or commerce.Students securing higher marks in science stream are honored unlike students in humanities that inculcate a sense of failure in the students. This discrimination has led to humanities losing importance as a subject.

Humanities are looked down upon by most parents. Students must have experienced differences in opinions amidst family when it comes to opting for humanities as the prestige of astute medical and non-medical subjects has overtaken insignificant humanities. Parents have a significant say in influencing student’s opinions. They will barely acknowledge humanities as it is notwithstanding to their ostentatious stature.

Humanities define a limited scope ahead. Few calculable prospective jobs are available to a humanities pass out. Students can opt for teaching as their line of work or adhere to counseling and social groups or embark upon their not for profit organizations. These posts are not characterized as much a big league as becoming doctors, engineers or chartered accountants by virtue of career prospects and earning potential. 

Besides, institutes for humanities or political science are not acknowledged in India. Tremendous money has been flown in building innumerable institutes for science and commerce subjects however, humanities is camouflaged with inferiority. Lack of infrastructure and funds for humanities institutes have resulted in lesser number of students opting this field. 


Agendum for Documentation of Experiments

Documentation provides official information for transparency and constancy in organizing data systematically. An eloquent appellation, affiliation, time frame, strategies and well-defined quotations are the harbingers of a good documentation that can be presented in either tabular form or paragraph form.

Citations, a reference from a book or an author can be used in the documentation. Citations can be picked up from various sources like textbook, trade magazine articles, catalogs, websites, academic general or conference papers.

Besides, a document must adhere to few elements that will help produce a good report. A simple and easy to comprehend document must be presented without usage of idioms and phrases. A good document must not be dominated by creative graphical representation rather it should have informative and logical data and must include finite information required. An error free and grammatically correct report marks a good impression to the opposite party. In addition to this, a clogged up data is never preferred. Segregating data that holds prime significance helps one to thwart clumsiness.

The first and foremost point is the introduction that includes the rationale of the experiment. It exemplifies how a problem has to be solved and steps undertaken to solve a problem. An introduction section contains content that facilitates the reader to apprehend the main body. The next step in the documentation of experiments is Method that states the management and strategies of the experiment. A comprehensive study of the experiment is incorporated in the main body while preparing documentation. Subsequently the outcome is results. Generally, tables and plots are used to epitomize the experiment. Colorful representation will create chaos only. Rather a simple display of the chart can provide fruitful results. At times, attraction also creates distraction and data seems to be misleading. The dots plotted must have a good precision to visualize and provide 100% accuracy.Right set of data and best plot format and style must be undertaken to plot more proficiently. Tiny plots might create a complication to the reader. The outcomes put forward the evaluated data and are confined only to the data available. Last but not the least, a bound and determined discussion of the experiment takes place. A discussion is the analysis of results and involves many viewpoints.

A good documentation of experiments is characterized as a simple, transparent and accurate presentation of the facts precisely.

How to Create Prize Winning Business Ideas

If you have arrived on a decision on starting your own business, you might have been brainstorming about a revolutionary business idea. More often, people create their business ideas based on professional or personal fervor. However, this is not always true. Many times, it might be so that the entrepreneur wishes to work independently or to do something that will be pioneering. In this case, the only need is of that distinct idea to get started. Here are some tips for you to come up with an innovative idea easily.

First, you need to consider the skills or talent you have. You must have developed specific skills in your academic career, which can act as the foundation for your new business idea. Therefore, it makes sense to trace all your past learning and practical experiences. Further, you must also recollect the different projects, academic or job-based, that you have participated in. More probably, you must have excelled in those projects that were found to be quite interesting, useful, or enjoyable. However, do not restrict yourself to these projects to know your skills. Consider those participations you did outside work or college, too. Recollect what you enjoyed doing while not at work, which can be sports related, hobby or a charity. 

Second, always be in touch with the current events so that you can tap the latest market opportunity. For this, keep reading the latest business news, magazines, and latest trends. More effectively, it would be wise to conduct a survey on the customer changing needs and demands so that you can grab the most promising business idea. 

Third, try to connect the obtained facts or trends by mentally creating a relationship or correlation. When you are able to join them together, you get a transparent view of something hidden behind the scene, which nobody has managed to spot, recognize, or market before.

Fourth, have a long-term vision, not short-term. While creating a new idea, you need to consider some local and global trends apart from the demographics. You need to consider those trends that have growth potential in the future. Find this out from the media that acts as a comprehensive source of information. Then, you can think about the rewards of stepping into that new business. This is the process of testing your own idea. Doing so should urge you to lay the foundation of your new business on originality and permanence. 


Using Social Networking for Research Work

With the advancement in the Internet technology, we now live in a closely connected society due to which getting information on any matter has become possible in real time. This is actually changing the manner in which one now performs the research work. Gone are those days when researchers would wait for a publication to publish a journal paper or for an annual meeting for conducting their research. Today, you can instantly access them or watch a live meeting via a social network.

The far-reaching connectivity of social networks triggers a new reliable way of developing one’s own academic network. Such a network is essential to be in touch with the skilled mentors, high-grade colleagues, and professors so that you can seek instant help at any point while doing your research. This is independent of whether you are in the same university or are a part of that conference or not. Although this does not mean that physical interaction is avoidable because it is vital to some extent, social networking can help you develop an instantly accessible academic network via comprehensive connectivity.

Facebook is one of the famous social media sites in use today. Facebook groups and pages tend to offer a supportive network for researchers. These features help in sharing several events, meetings, videos, discussions, photos, and debates due to which the researchers can easily get access to the desired information. This happens without having to search for more or revealing any private information.

Even Twitter has become the reliable source to publish information. Participants can easily tweet about presentations while collaborating with other attendees. Further, several links are posted to different articles, journals, and papers due to which it becomes very quick to find information. At the same time, it is also instant to gain feedback right away from the concerned people instead of waiting for an e-mail response. 

Further, blogging also has a vital role to play in facilitating your research. Several famous blogging sites are Tumblr and Blogger are used by publications to post published papers and abstracts. They also post book reviews, thesis summaries, social issues, conferences experiences and personal tales. Therefore, referring to some blogs and subscribing to their newsletters is a smart way of gathering information, sharing thoughts, getting feedbacks, raising profiles to reach out more people, and keeping a memo of ideas and conversations. 

It is ideal for the young researchers to have a profile on all these networks apart from publishing in top journal papers and attending conferences. Social networking facilitates collaboration in real time due to which many big problems of research are solved.


How to Conduct an Ethnographic Study

Ethnography is a method to conduct social science research that depends mostly on personal experiences and likely participation, not on observation. It is actually a science that aims to comprehend the customs, ethos and belief systems of diverse groups of people or institution. Therefore, an ethnographer who is conducting a research looks for mixing with a group of people or institution. 

The research’s focal point tend to cover rigorous language and culture education, exhaustive study of a particular domain and implementation of different historical and interview methods. Usually, the researcher gathers interviews and documentation during the research, which in turn, generates descriptions, quotations, and excerpts to creating a storyline including visuals and additional artefacts. Depending upon the ethnographic methods employed, various new paradigms are formed, which facilitates further experimental testing. 

One of the best ways to conduct ethnographic research is to explore the culture of the targeted people by living among them. Keep in mind that ethnographic study is not essentially the examination of the effect of a specific event on the targeted group. Therefore, the research might need you to live for years even in rough conditions while observing what happens. It is quite common to make such sacrifices while conducting the study.

It is required to spend maximum time with the people you are examining. For example, in case they are at a workplace, it is advisable to go there daily just as they do. Even more useful will be to do some tasks that they do so that you can easily co-relate to their work life. You may even consider taking a survey or interviews apart from only observing them to come up with a comprehensive ethnographic research on their beliefs. 

Interviewing people who have something in common, including yourself, is another way to perform an ethnographic research. This is quite handy because not all have the same feelings towards a particular event. When you study those who resemble you in a few ways such as social status and race, you can easily come to know how events leave an impact on everyone. It is better to do so without assuming that you are aware of things. Such research often has a period. 

Always track back for changes in the study environment. This is useful when you are studying in a workplace. You can always ask the same queries at different time intervals to find out whether their responses have changed or not.

Communicate your ideas effectively in a dissertation

Many students have brilliant ideas but they are unable to convey them effectively in a dissertation. To put thoughts into words is a skill which can be honed with years of practice and hard work. However, if you are strapped for time and need to enhance this skill quickly, you can start by reading dissertations of good quality. Libraries hold a number of dissertations and theses written by renowned scholars and you can make a mental note of some of their writing styles and incorporate them into your writing.

Many students have the misconception that the longer the sentences, the more sophisticated they sound. This is not true. The longer the sentences, the chances of a reader getting confused are higher. So, make it a point to write short sentences that are crisp. Every new idea should be stated in a new sentence; this way, the reader will not be overwhelmed by too many ideas in a sentence. These are some of the ways you can communicate your ideas effectively in a dissertation.

Next, arguments in a dissertation should be convincing in nature. In the introduction of your dissertation, you should state your dissertation statement, with your stand on the topic. Throughout the dissertation, you should support your dissertation statement with findings, be it survey results or interviews, and literature review. These will act as supporting evidence and help you in convincing the reader. 

Dissertations are extremely long; so, break the text into smaller sections for easy reading. Your dissertation should have an introduction, where you inform the reader on the reason for choosing a specific topic for your research and make your stand clear. In the introduction, provide a summary of your research, throwing light on the various methodologies you have used. Dissertations are academic papers and not novels; so, you should not beat around the bush or keep the audience in suspense. Convey your ideas and thoughts in a simple and direct manner. A reader should be able to understand a sentence when he reads it for the first time; if a reader has to read the same sentence twice or thrice, it means that you have failed in communicating your ideas effectively.

Always provide headings and sub-headings in your dissertation; this will give your reader proper direction. A good dissertation is an amalgamation of interesting content and good language. So, never underestimate the power of language because it can either make or break your dissertation.

Ask for commitment from your dissertation committee


Once you have created an excellent dissertation so as to be submitted to the dissertation committee, it is absolutely essential for you to establish a healthy relationship with your dissertation reviewers. After ascertaining what the dissertation committee wants and who you want to be your chair, it is time to make it official by asking the faculty member and setting expectations. You can always choose to set up a meeting with your potential chair to discuss your topic and the process of the dissertation.

Here’s a pictorial representation of a few key items to remember while contacting your potential chair:
In your meeting with your potential chair, you will want to discuss the content of your dissertation. Some of this may have been covered in an initial interview, but be ready to discuss in more depth your topic of interest, why it is important in the context of the broader research literature, and how it fits with the faculty member’s research.  In addition to discussing the topic, it is important to discuss the process of dissertation development. You should establish a clear, but flexible, dissertation work plan with expectations about communication, responsibilities and timelines with your chair. Once you and your chair have discussed topic, process and committee membership, it is time to invite the other faculty members to be part of your committee.

Note that some faculty members, due to timing, other responsibilities, or lack of fit (with topic or student personality) may decline your request to be your chair or on your committee. Do not take it personally. Be glad that this was established early in the process before significant time and investment occurred. Work with your chair or advisor to find appropriate replacements and don’t be discouraged. I am sure this post of mine would have definitely helped you grab excellent amount of information.

Input and Feedback for thesis writing services


You know that you need the help of a guide or a professional when you have tried your best and failed. While many scholars do not try so hard, and directly opt to outsource their work to a professional writer; there are others who take the more ethical and tough route, and first try to prepare a draft document. While you will get complete support for research in both the cases, you will have to be involved in the writing process.

The professional writers, most of whom are academicians offering specialized services to scholars ask them for feedback, as well as inputs. The input will be required for various sections of the research document. References will have to be suggested for the literature review chapter. For this, you can take help from your peers and supervisors. Even the references that are suggested by the experts will have to be discussed and approved by the supervisor. Secondly, the input will be needed for data analysis chapter. You will need to collect the data and provide it to the writers for management and analysis.

The feedback will have to be given for every chapter, as it gets completed. For this, you will need to check the style of writing, as well as the structure. Examine the facts mentioned in the documents, and match them with your original research work. Make sure that the references that are used are reliable and valid. The citation style and format must be as per the style that is suggested by your college. So, you must specify this style to the professional writer before the assignment starts. When you opt for a writing service, make sure that the delivery is done on piecemeal basis, so that you can check the chapters and get the work completed fast.

Research journals go online


As the scope of higher education increases, the research fraternity is benefiting immensely from the national and international journals which contain research papers and news about a field of study. The matter for these journals is written by well-known academicians and teachers who have been involved in guiding research scholars since years.

Two popular journals, which are assisting research scholars across the world, are International Journal of Finance and International Journal of Marketing. These journals are published quarterly and reach the scholars of several universities. Being related to the fields of marketing and finance, the journals are not just beneficial for scholars, but also for practitioners in these areas and academicians. The availability of these journals in the online version is a blessing for the research community. While the International Journal of Finance is aimed at risk managers, insurers, and students of financial management, the International Journal of Marketing serves the cause of retail managers and marketing students. They can get ideas for better management and learn techniques which can be applied practically at the workplace.

The conversion of the matter for the online version is done by experts from e-learning content companies. These companies assess the matter that is present in journals, and devise ways to make it more interesting, as well as interactive. The research matter is often serious and might be iterative for a reader. To gain higher readership, it is essential that the matter be augmented with images and graphs that explain a topic better. This is the role played by e-learning content companies. The content providers and designers make the matter easy to understand and alter it to suit the new mode of delivery. The subject matter experts, who prepare the research papers for the International Journal of Finance and International Journal of Marketing often, have to work with the designers at the e-learning content companies to make them understand the subject better.

Ushering in the change with e-learning


There is a group of people, or rather thousands of people, who are working together to bring in the changes in the education world, which will alter the way the students will learn things. These people are connected together with a common motive, and common technology. E-learning content providers are bringing these people together, for innovation in e-learning content development.

E-learning will be a revolution and its effects are already being witnessed in the way students perceive knowledge and get a hold on subjects. As schools change from open grounds to air conditioned classrooms, children are shifting from traditional books and worksheets to laptops and tablets. This alteration will be brought about with the help of these e-learning content providers.

Steps for availing research consultancy



Consultation at any stage is helpful only when it is offered by specialist. The knowledge that the experts have cannot be replaced by some novice. The guidance offered by them will contribute a lot to the research process at the master’s or doctoral level. It is very essential to choose the consultants in a manner that will provide a direction to the research and help it stand out of the crowd. There are many spheres for which assistance can be taken by scholars. Whatever be the aspect of research, there is always a process which is followed for taking help from consultancy services.

The first step is to understand the area which is the toughest and for which you need expert advice. Unless and until you are sure of the aid that you want, you will not be able to explain the requirement to the expert. The next step is to choose a consultant according to your requirement. He must have experience in the field, and ample exposure in the practical aspects associated with it. Just theoretical knowledge is not enough for a consultant, as the advice must be applicable. However, this does not demean the importance of theoretical knowledge. He must be well-read and be conversant with all the concepts that impact the research. Only then will he be able to suggest you the best references for literature review and resources for research.

You must also make sure that the consultant is associated with a reputed institution or service provider for research support and is not just a freelancer. If possible, go through some work by the expert or read testimonials by scholars who have taken help from the consultant earlier. You can easily find such scholars through the social media networks. The time frame for which you are taking help must be specified, as should be the cost structure. The pricing is mostly based on the time that the expert is dedicating to your project.

Once you have verified all the above points and have made your choice, you can proceed with explaining your requirement to the expert. While providing PhD Research Consulting, the expert will make a blueprint of your research document. This framework will help him to move in a systematic manner covering each and every aspect of research. Though help is offered for all segments, Dissertation Statistics Service is the most popular help, as scholars find the statistical research most challenging. This service can be taken for research design, data collection and analysis.
