What is Research?• Research involves asking a question and
attempting to find an answer.
• It may involve asking a similar question that has been asked in another research project. However the difference may be that the research was undertaken in another country or in another industry.

“RESEARCHING” IS MORE THAN “RESEARCH”
- IT INCLUDES THE PERSONAL PROCESS OF DOING RESEARCH
- That is, how do I conduct my work?
