Characteristics of Research topic and Goal-setting: Data envelopment analysis is a technique for data analysis that is to be studied in the technical session. Before you start research it’s important to discover the goal that you will be aiming to achieve. Also, topic of research has to have certain characteristics for it to be a potential choice out of all the topics that exists in the field. Become proficient at the topic you choose to do research on. Make sure the topic is narrow and you know of all the conventions, experts and journals related to it. It’s not quite often that we see students do research for the purpose of solving real world problem. Hence, this matter requires your attention to add value to the research that will be produced. Rely on your hard work and thought process more than you do on the theoretical framework taught by the teachers because as a matter of fact there is actually no coherence in theoretical framework and real world problem. Teachers and students both must realize that ‘copy’ & ‘paste’ is never the answer when it comes to building knowledge and learning along the way. Also, realize that there is no parallel to Courage and hard work in achieving greater heights.
