Trang 7• 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.

research process.
