As a researcher, it is important for you to become familiar with using surveys, selecting the correct methodology for a study and presenting limitations in utilizing a written report. You should research and review as many research methodologies as possible; the more methodologies reviewed, the broader your knowledge of acceptable and non-acceptable methodologies.

As mentioned in previous assignments, you should also research potential publishers for your Business Research Paper. Do not confine your research of publishers and be sure to search out opportunities were ever they might exist.

Analyze various research methodologies that are relevant to the problem and solution you have selected, noting the general limitations of your research study. After your analysis of the methodologies, choose one of the methodologies as the best fit for your study. State your reasons for your choice to justify this methodology application.
