Good Akshath!

See! The concept map makes writing answers very simple. Its a bit tricky to make the map. But having the map helps a great deal. Do you think this will help students do well in exams?

I somehow landed on this page, I see the concept maps a good way of describing the scenario, but i feel really sorry to say that the overall concept of the writer about scientific method and research methods are not clear. (No offense to the writer)
There are certain obvious things which do not give any declaration nor helps the readers..
I felt my time wasted after going through the entire story..

Dear Umashankar Das!

Thank you for your feedback. You taking your time out for pointing out a few things shows that you care about what is being written here. I appreciate your time.

This concept map addresses a focus question "How does scientific method help in research?" This post is the third in its series, which gives the overall concept map of the scientific method. If you go through my posts titled "The Scientific Method - The Need" and "The Scientific Method - The Principles" I have explained parts of these concept maps.

I have written this blog keeping students in mind. If you are a matured professional, you might find that the content is probably a bit broad. I have kept it that way!

If there is anything very specific that you could point out, then I can possibly answer more specifically.

Thank you for taking time out and reading the whole blog and pointing out whatever you felt was relevant and important.

Yes. No doubt has far as exams are concerned it would help students to understand and excel in exams. But what I feel is your efforts should not be limited to exams rather should concentrate on extending ur helping hand for students in preparing for real time industry research. Which in turn will increase the scope of this blog for research aspirants as well.

The Scientific Method: The Need

Biased Views - A Fundamental Nature of Human Knowledge Tanveer went home tired that day. It was the beginning of the month and he had to work with his staff to ship the orders he got. While on his way home, he met Karunakaran, his best friend. They sat down in Mochazilla and over a large Italian Coffee, Tanveer laid down his business situation. Karunakaran said: People visit these malls not only because they get good prices on groceries, but also because they get a lot of other things as well. People go to Mantri Square. They can shop for groceries, eat out with family, watch a movie and come back home late in the night. They spend a day there. You cannot offer what a mall can offer. Frankly, I think now is the time for you to start something different. Maybe you should close the shop. Tanveer was a little disappointed at this answer. Now back at home, his disappointment was noticed by his mother. She asked him what the matter was. Tanveer shared his dilemma and what his

The Business Dilemma

A world o f questions: Tanveer started a small grocery store in the year 2004 after his father passed away. The store initially supported his family. In 2008, Tanveer got admitted into MBA through a distance education program and started to expand the store. He introduced many competitive features such as selling branded items, home deliveries, phone orders, etc., and made his store one of the prominent stores in the region. Now, he sees his customers are visiting malls like Total, Big Bazaar, Star Bazaar, etc., and they seem to like shopping there inspite of all the products and services offered by him. These outlets are not only big, but also offer lower prices and decent quality. Tanveer now wants to do something by which he can retain his customers. He has a few questions in mind. Why do customers run behind malls? What is it that his shop lacks that the malls offer? Can he really compete with the malls? Will reducing the prices of groceries sold in his
