2.1 The Problem Statement
Mike works in an environment where efficiency and a sense of urgency make the most money. The problem is Mike never knows when his next job will be or where it will be. This is a problem industry wide but the difference comes from finding other ways to improve the variables that can actually be controlled. It’s these small differences that will help Mike not only reduce his response time but also the impact on his bottom line.
3 Data Collection/Methodology
When you think about research, it could be thought of as a process. A process can be defined as a series of actions or steps taken in order to achieve a particular end. The process in research is important because research takes time and consideration. As you conduct research, you may gain a deeper insight that could be gained gradually and modifications can be made or changed over time (Ghauri and Gronhaug, 2010). When you are doing research it is a good idea to look at it from the perspective that it is a

Research can be defined as the search for knowledge, or as any systematic investigation, with an open mind, to establish novel facts, solve new or existing problems, prove new ideas, or develop new theories.

Research is vital in understanding why certain theories are conceived. Essentially, through research I am studying human life and more so studying human
According to Depoy and Gittin, research is a way individuals think about problems in systematic way. Research is generally described as description, exploration, analysis, prediction and problem solving. There are different types of research and these researches are called the experiments, quasi-experiments and non-experiments. The purpose of research is to provide the insight to practice, it also enhance individuals understanding as well as developing new approaches with different topics, get to test your research for effectiveness. Understanding research is important because it helps to build individuals knowledge bases and informs decision making in practice. Research also enable us to make sure that our practice are up to date with relevant information.
Research allows us to better understand what is unknown, how a human thinks, why a dog barks when they hear a stranger approaching or that the earth is round and not flat. Research allows us to find answers to the questions we have. Research attempts to both understand and define. There are three kinds of research; Explanatory; Exploratory and Descriptive research. Explanatory, Exploratory and Descriptive research define what research is; Research is the attempt to explain, explore and describe (Neuman, 2006, 24).
Research allows us to develop and refine our theories and to continue making new breakthroughs

Research is a form of systematic inquiry. It sets out to answer questions through assessing, summarizing and drawing conclusions from what are often very large amounts of information.
What I have learned about research is that it is a process, a scientific process that psychologist and scientist develop that includes many different approaches and that is carefully peer reviewed and evaluated. There is what is called the Scientific Approach where scientist have an idea or theory and based on their observation will either support the theory or the theory can be falsified by their peers. Data also goes through a review period before it is published in a scientific journal by scientist who have the knowledge and expertise to evaluate it.
