<p align="justify">Objective of research is one the important elements for conducting any research because it helps in determining the possibility of conducting the study. Basically, the broad aim of all researches is to confirm the reliability of existing knowledge and to find the deviation of existing knowledge i.e. to contribute new knowledge in the existing knowledge. Before conducting the research it is important to identify your objective(s) because it evades wastage of time and efforts in afterward stages. Keeping the system requirement into consideration, research objectives must be clearly identifiable. To identify a research objective(s) following things are important:</p>
<ol>
<li>
<div align="justify">Research Questions </div>
</li>
<li>
<div align="justify">Hypotheses</div>
</li>
<li>
<div align="justify">Research Study Boundary </div>
</li>
</ol>
<h3>&#160;</h3>
<h3>Research Questions </h3>
<p> </p>
<p align="justify">Research questions arise before the study is conducted. These problems are the issues which are not resolved till date. Some of the important problems which can arise during research are: What is the objective(s) of the study? How would the objective(s) of the study be achieved? And why is the specified method applied for the study? Objectives and Hypotheses of the study or research problem would be achieved by giving answers to the above questions. </p>
<h3>&#160;</h3>
<h3>Hypotheses</h3>
<p align="justify"></p>
<p align="justify">Hypotheses are assumptions about some characteristics of population which must be accepted or rejected on the basis of empirical evidence. Few examples of the hypotheses are given below:</p>

what are the differences between Rational of the Study and the significance of the Study? and could we use Rational or significance in our researches or both?
thank you..
Very informative knowledge for ma as an MBA student.
The difference is visible. Rationale of the study must explain the justification you can bring to the reader or the professor or fund provider undertaking the study.
Significance of the study will focus who will benefit from the outcome of the research or the study. Hence, you can use both in your research.
wow
