Business and management research is a systematic inquiry that helps to solve business problems and contributes to management knowledge. It Is an applied research.
Four factors (Easterby-Smith, 2008) combine to make business and management a distinctive focus for research :
- Transdiscipline approach
- Information access is difficult since managers see information as competitive advantage on the market
- Managers are educated and want some information produced by the classical research method
- Finding must resolve practical management problems
Managers often need information of high quality to help them to make the right decision.
