Exploratory, Descriptive, Analytical and Predictive Research
:pencil2:
Exploratory research
conduct for research problem or issue
focus on gaining insights and familiarities with subject of area
techniques; case studies, observation and historical analysis
:pencil2:

to identify and obtain information on the characteristics of a particular problem or issue
data collection; quantitative and statistical techniques to summarise the information
:pencil2:
