This is the most important of the steps, if the problem is incorrectly defined, all else is a wasted effort The problem can be viewed as a statement of decision alternatives If there are no alternatives, no decision is necessary Step 3: Establish the Research Objective

Step 6: Determining Methods of Accessing Data

When a researcher must communicate with respondents, there are four main choices of accessing data Have a person ask questions Use computer assisted questioning Allow respondents to answer questions themselves without computer assistance Use a combination of the above three methods

Step 7: Design Data Collection Forms
