Definition According to Pauline V. Young, a research design

is "the logical and systematic planning and directing a piece of research".

Russel Ackoff has defined it as "Design is the process of making decisions before a situation arises in which the decision has to be carried out. It is a process of deliberate anticipation directed towards bringing unexpected situation under control".

Meaning

The research design is the master plan specifying the methods and procedures for collecting and analyzing the needed information.

WHY RESEARCH DESIGN..?

Research design is the basis of the whole study. If it is not properly formulated whole study will almost collapse and the purpose of conducting the study will be defeated.

Preparing a research design is not an easy task but it is always worth the labor that is spent on its preparation, because without that the purpose of conducting the study will be defeated.
