Three types of descriptive research are
Observation
Case study
Survey All three of these have their pros and cons and have to be used according to circumstance. Though if I were to choose one it would be case study.
According to me case studies are more comprehensive and holistic for studying a phenomenon, especially in organisations. Case study is a brilliant way to study
corporate decision making and what factors affect it. It looks at the phenomenon on a case by case level and is not prone to fallacies such as self disclosure errors.
There certainly are pros and cons of each of these methods. What are some of the pros and cons of each of these?
OBSERVATION
This method involve an experimenter who will enter into the field and observe the act as it is present in the natural setting. Observation method is very useful in cases where the behavior we need to measure is observable. there are generally two type of observation, participant observation and non participant observation. In participant observation the observer ( one who carry out the act of observation) will directly be part of the group and then observe the activity. And in non participant the observer observes as an outsider.
