      Definition of Scientific Research
       •  Scientific Research focusing on solving problems and 
          pursues a step by step logical, organized and rigorous 
          method to identify the problems, gather data, analyze 
          them and draw valid conclusions there from.
  Why Scientific Research?
   • This research is not based on hunches, experience and intuition.
   • It is purposive and rigorous.
   • Enables all those who are interested in researching and knowing 
    about the same or similar issues to come up with comparable 
    findings when data are analyzed.
   • Findings are accurate and confident. 
   • Apply solutions to similar problems – generalization.
   • It is more objective.
   • Highlights the most critical factors at the work place that need 
    specific attention to solve or minimize problems.
   • Scientific Investigation and Managerial Decision Making are integral 
    part of effective problem solving.
   • It can be applied to both basic and applied research.
