Efficiency and effectiveness of different forms of decisions are a function of the data and information associated with such decisions. However, the information and data used in making decisions are largely dependent on the research methods used in addressing cognate issues of interest and relevance. There are salient issues of interest to research methods and methodology. This publication examines some of these major research issues of interest and relevance for executives and academics (students and Professors), isolates some salient points in research, and proposes relevant research directions.

The book is organized into three relevant broad parts (A, B, & C). Part A presents relevant principles of research methodology with regard to conceptualizations, research designs, measurement, sampling, data, qualitative research, academic research and commercial research issues. Part B discusses research methodology in relation to some of its relevant statistical tools and techniques. Part C presents some jargons used in research methodology. All the parts have benefited from relevant extant thought, in addition to comments and suggestions from colleagues, students, commercial researchers and organizational executives. Also, copious relevant references have been presented The book is likely to appeal to students (undergraduate and postgraduate), lecturers, researchers, and executives in organizations. Specifically, RESEARCH METHODS: Principles, Statistics & Jargons is for executives, scholars, researchers, academics and undergraduate and postgraduate students in colleges, polytechnics and universities. It is, also, for corporate and institutional executives and decisionmakers whose policies, strategies and decisions are systematic and evidencebased.
