Introduction:
Research Methodologies
As a researcher, it is important to become familiar with using surveys, selecting the correct
methodology for an international business administration 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 nonacceptable methodologies.
