MEANING OF HYPOTHETICO-DEDUCTIVE?
Hypothetico is derived from the term "hypothetical" which means academic, contestable, contingent, disputable, imaginary, questionable, refutable, theoretical and unconfirmed.
Deductive means conclusion, to find a answer to a question

DETERMINATION OF RESEARCH PROBLEM
first step tend to bring researchers and decision makers together Decision maker find the problem that need to be correctedResearcher then make sure that the problem is a problem are a symptom of a big

REDEFINE THE RESEARCH PROBEM
Once the researcher and decision maker have identified the specific information needs, the researcher must redefined the problem in scientific terms.in doing so 'most decision makers use a pragmatic framework, whereas researchers feel more comfortable using a scientific framework.
The researcher’s responsibility is to restate the initial variable associated with the decision problem in the form of one or more key question formats (how,what,where)

EXAMPLE
An organization dealing in hardware
The management of organization(a major hardware/lumber retailer)was concerned about the overall image of its retail operation as well as about its image among known customers.

RESEARCH OBJECTIVE
It determined what other task steps must be takenWe should understand what is the main objective of research

THEORY FORMULATION
Theory formulation is an attempt to integrate all the formulation in a logical manner so that the factor responsible for the problem can be conceptualized and tested.
VARIABLESDependent variableIndependent variablesModerating variableIntervening variable

HYPOTHESIS DEVELOPMENT
An educated guess is known as "hypothesis" which means assumption, belief, presupposition, proposal, starting point and theorem.
Statement of hypothesis if-then statemente.g. If employee are more healthy then they will take sick leave less frequently
![Page 11: Hypothetico Deductive Method](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061202/547abc81b4795995098b4ae0/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
TYPES OF HYPOTHEIS
It is the same as we solve everyday problems but there is only a small twist which is termed as ‘Null & Alternate Hypothesis”. Given below is a simple example of MBA
![Page 12: Hypothetico Deductive Method](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061202/547abc81b4795995098b4ae0/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Suppose we found one MBA who is intelligent. On this specific basis alone, we cannot generalize that all MBAs are intelligent. (It is not a case of natural science but social science). We can be proved wrong just by citing an example of one unfortunate MBA who happened to be a stupid. As Karl pointed out "no amount of evidence assures us that contrary evidence will not be found." He proposed that using deduction method *general to specific), one can falsify a statement making the alternate true like:
Null Hypothesis: No MBA is intelligent.Alternate: All MBAs are intelligent.
![Page 13: Hypothetico Deductive Method](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061202/547abc81b4795995098b4ae0/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
We can reject Null Hypothesis by citing example of an MBA, Omer Khan, who had scored an IQ of 120 . If null-hypothesis is rejected or proved false, the alternate would become true and all MBAs would be considered as intelligent even though all may not be so. In fact, the researcher hides his findings in the alternate hypotheses for acceptance by simply rejecting the Null Hypotheses.

RESEARCH DESIGNS
The research design serves as a master plan of the methods and procedure that should be used to collect and analyze the data needed by the decision maker.
The most appropriate research designs is a function of the research objectives.
For research designs researcher should consider this master plan, the researcher must consider the type of data, the design technique(survey,observation,experiment,etc) the sampling methodology and procedure, the schedule, the budget.
![Page 15: Hypothetico Deductive Method](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061202/547abc81b4795995098b4ae0/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
RESEARCH DESIGNS
Although every research problem is unique, most research objectives can be met by using one of the three of research designs:
exploratorydescriptivecausal
![Page 16: Hypothetico Deductive Method](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061202/547abc81b4795995098b4ae0/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
EXPLORATORY DESIGNS
An exploratory study is undertaken when not much is known about the situation at hand.
Example. Focus group interview, experience surveys and pilot study
![Page 17: Hypothetico Deductive Method](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061202/547abc81b4795995098b4ae0/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
DESCRIPTIVE DESIGNS
It is uses a set of scientific methods and procedures to collect raw data and create data structure that describes the existing characteristics(e.g. Attitudes, intentions, preferences, purchases behaviors evaluations of current marketing mix strategies)of a defined target population or market structure.
![Page 18: Hypothetico Deductive Method](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061202/547abc81b4795995098b4ae0/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
CAUSAL DESIGNS
It is use to collect raw data and create data structures and the information that will allow the decision maker or researcher to model cause and effect relationships between two variables.e.g
Prediction of earthquake become the cause of price fall of property
![Page 19: Hypothetico Deductive Method](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061202/547abc81b4795995098b4ae0/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
DETERMINE THE SAMPLE PLAN AND SAMPLE SIZE
Sample size affects data quality and generalizability. Researchers must therefore think carefully about how many people to include or how many objects to investigate.Sampling plans can be classified into two general types: probability and nonprobability.
![Page 20: Hypothetico Deductive Method](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061202/547abc81b4795995098b4ae0/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
SAMPLING
In a census the researcher attempts to question or observe all the members of a defined target population. The second procedure, which is preferred when the defined target population is large or unknown, involves the random selection of subgroup, or sample, from the overall membership pool of a defined target population.
![Page 21: Hypothetico Deductive Method](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061202/547abc81b4795995098b4ae0/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
DETERMINE THE MEASUREMENT ISSUES AND
SCALES
Activities within this step focus on determining the dimensions of the factors being investigated and measuring the variables that underlie the defined problem.
It involves scaling, reliability, validity.
Scaling means rating the dataReliability means how much data is reliable
![Page 22: Hypothetico Deductive Method](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061202/547abc81b4795995098b4ae0/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
MEASUREMENT ISSUES AND SCALE
What level of information is needed from a variable (nominal ordinal, ordinals interval, interval, ratio)?
How reliable does the information need to be? How valid does the information need to be? How does one ensure the development of reliable and valid scale measurements?
![Page 23: Hypothetico Deductive Method](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061202/547abc81b4795995098b4ae0/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
COLLECTION OF DATA
One is to ask questions about variables and market phenomena using trained interviewers or questionnaires.
The other is to observe variables and market phenomena using professional observers or high-tech devices.

TOOLS FOR DATA COLLECTION
Self-administered surveys, personal interviews, computer simulations, telephone interviews, and focus groups are just some of the tools researchers can use to collect data .
![Page 25: Hypothetico Deductive Method](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061202/547abc81b4795995098b4ae0/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
PROCESSING OF DATA
Once the primary data are collected, the researcher must perform several procedural activities before doing any type of data analysis. A coding scheme is needed so that the raw data can be entered into computer files.

ANALYSIS
Analysis procedures can vary widely in sophistication and complexity, from simple frequency distributions (percentages) to sample statistics measures (e.g., mode, median, mean, range, standard deviation, and standard error) to multivariate data analysis techniques.
