Efficiency and effectiveness of different forms of decisions are a function of the data and information associated with such decisions. However, the information and data used in making decisions are largely dependent on the research methods used in addressing cognate issues of interest and relevance. There are salient issues of interest to research methods and methodology. This publication examines some of these major research issues of interest and relevance for executives and academics (students and Professors), isolates some salient points in research, and proposes relevant research directions.
