The research would produce an analysis of information that had either been collected firsthand or is readily available such as company records. The information would be either quantitative which had been gather through structure questions or qualitative which would have been collected from more specific questionnaires such as interviews or observation.
How has the Internet changed the quality and quantity of research? The Internet offers so much information that is readily available and accessible to anyone seeking it which increases the quantity of lower content information rather than the quantity of higher quality content. For example, as has been posted on our school, many websites are providing student with access to purchase answers to our assignments, this decreases the quantity of time the student would spend studying therefore diminishing the quality of the content because the student will not fully understand the topic.
