Research Methods

This book, primarily for social science and business administration students and researchers, is structured into six sections with 20 comprehensive chapters. Each chapter covers different aspects of the topic. Its uniqueness lies in the blend of the author's personal observations, drawn from extensive research experience, and insights from other scholars' work. The goal is to introduce students to the balance of basic and theoretical knowledge in social research and guide researchers through the complexities of conducting research. The analysis approach is interdisciplinary, with examples from Indian society-based empirical studies for clarity.
