In this argument I will be exhibiting the ethical concerns that are relevant to conducting a business research study. This reason for this criteria is to ensure that there are no ambiguous claims or biased information, which inadvertently or intentionally would persuade interested parties toward a desired result.
Ethical and Legal Considerations of a Business Research Study. The focus of any research study is to present a fair report on a particular situation. The use of manipulation to present biased conclusion on hypotheses, cannot be considered as a fair representation of the subject. As there are ethical policies guiding societies and organizations, even so, there are ethical principles, which were erected to guide researchers, participants, …show more content…
This method reduces the potentiality of contingencies and ensures that the participants involved are well informed of the procedures. Subsequent to the review process, the method of retrieving the data must also be established ethically. Hanson (2011) argued that, “research activities are subjected to higher demands on ethics and safety than similar activities that are not classified as research” (p. 22). The questions or tests must be tailored in ways that they are not discriminatory or biased, however, they must be designed to extract the intended data to arrive at factual conclusions. The research study must be conducted within a certain period; this saves time and finance to both the researcher, and involved participants. Also, there must be a revision process, which will allow the researcher to limit or extend the number of subjects needed to provide sufficient data in order to establish factual …show more content…
Also, there must be an analysis of the strengths and weakness of the study before the committee, thus, examining the potential risks that are involved. It is here that the committee examines and makes recommendations to the research study. However, on the contrary, there may be instances where a committee may not approve of a research method; this may be due to impending rights-of-privacy, faulty disclosure statements, or the types and sizes of the intended institutions do not offer no similarities between themselves and the primary interested party. Even more, if the risks of the survey is greater than a successful completion of the research project, it is likely that the review committee will disapprove of the research
