Decision Alternatives




For research to be effective, it must be associated with a 
decision.
A most useful way to clarify the decision motivating the 
research is to ask:
1.

What alternative actions are being considered?


2.

What actions would be taken, given the various feasible outcomes of the 
research?



The researcher and decision maker need to discuss all 
possible criteria in advance, and choose those that are 
appropriate.



Timing and importance are always pivotal issues in the 
research process.

available to deal with the problem.
