ETCO INDIA RESEARCH PROCEDURE - In Service to Learners Since 1983

In our services, qualitative or quantitative field research pertaining to Dissertation and Thesis Research Projects shall be carried out in the target organizations through our network of
professionals. The respondents shall be chosen from the industry that may be employees in corporations or practicing professionals. However, it may please be noted that most of the
interviewees, respondents and their respective organizations do not like their names to be declared in researches and hence their responses shall be included in the research after ensuring
anonymity. The data collection and analysis techniques shall be qualitative as well as quantitative depending upon the subject area. Academic Help is provided on: OPNET, VENSIM, SPSS,
ARENA, TAGUCHI's METHOD ON MS EXCEL, JAVA, PYTHON, C++, JAVASCRIPT, MLAI, BLOCKCHAIN, and SEVERAL SOFTWARE FRAMEWORKS.

The research requirements in dissertations, theses and professional research papers normally comprises of Research Questions or
Hypotheses Formation, formulation of Purpose, Aims and Objectives, Detailed Literature Review, Primary Field Research or Data
Collection from reliable sources, Raw Data Organization & Presentation, Critical Analysis, Conclusions & Generalizations and
Recommendations for Further Research. In this context, we present the following sample outline for theses, research papers and
dissertations. Please also visit the page detailing SUBJECT AREAS OF SPECIALIZATION pertaining to our services to view the
broader perspective of topic building for Dissertations and Theses. Please contact us at consulting@etcoindia.co.in or
consulting@etcoindia.net.in to discuss your topic or to get ideas about new topics pertaining to your subject area. Further, We also
offer you to develop the "problem description and statement", "aim, objectives, research questions", "design of methodology and
methods", and "15 to 25 most relevant citations per topic" for
three topics of your choice of research areas at a nominal fee. Such a
synopsis shall help you in focussing, critically thinking, discussing with your reviewers, and developing your research proposal.

BIBLIOGRAPHY

Research Studies may be conducted employing either Qualitative or Quantitative methodologies, by combining both
methodologies (triangulation), or employing modeling and simulations. Qualitative methodology requires an interpretive
approach that essentially employs inductive learning and hence the researcher should begin with Research Questions. Qualitative
methodology may involve semi-structured or structured interviews and outcomes need to be interpreted gradually to build the
theoretical foundation. Quantitative methodology requires a positivist approach that essentially requires deductive learnings and
hence the researcher should begin with hypotheses formation. Proving hypotheses requires scientific methods like mathematical
modeling, algorithms, statistical analysis, simulations, etc.We will help you to learn, SPSS for statistical modelling and analysis,
OPNET for Networking modeling and simulations, ARENA for Process and workflow modeling and simulations, and Vensim
for system dynamics modelling. We will also help you in Taguchi Methods using well-designed Excel templates, and in software
development, integration, testing, and runtime in Java, C++, Python, and frameworks such as Spring Boot, Express, Hyperleder,
Corda, machine learning, and artificial intelligence
.

The choice of Research Methodology largely depends upon the research topic, subject area, purpose and past empirical
theories/generalisations that are related to the topic and subject area. If availability of past empirical theories is inadequate, then
the researcher cannot establish sound theoretical foundation to develop hypotheses. In such a case, the researcher prefers to use
qualitative methodology. This methodology is also used in researches where inductive learning is key to success and the
data/information collected cannot be appropriately converted into measurable metrics. Many social and management research
studies lie under this category

Science and Technology research studies that require experimentations or modeling and simulations essentially employ
quantitative research methodology. Many simulation tools automatically generate statistical data and hence the student may just
need to analyse the outcomes. However, if data is generated in the form of numbers only then SPSS, SPSS + LISREL, or MS Excel
can be used to apply the data in statistical models or MATLAB can be used to apply the data in mathematical models. If process
or workflow modeling and simulation is required then ARENA (Student's version) is the best tool that can be adopted. For
finance dissertations,
MS EXCEL XP, 2003 or 2007 is sufficient to apply the calculations estecially when data is taken from cash
flow, income and balance sheet statements published in annual reports. Calculations in all company valuation dissertations can be
carried out using MS EXCEL.

ETCO INDIA charges extra for teaching ARENA, SPSS, SPSS + LISREL (Multivariate), MATLAB, Vensim, Taguchi's Method, and
OPNET based modeling/simulations. We do not charge extra for Excel based calculations. Customers are provided hands on
training over SKYPE and Teamviewer on their respective computers such that they can not only run the models and simulations
in their own computers but also learn them thoroughly to face the examiners. If you wish to place orders on us, please go through
the "How to Order" details.
