Title: Module 2a - MGT575
Type: Matching
Instructions: Quantitative Research matching game. Match up the step on the left with the appropriate
example on the right by dragging terms on the right up and down to reorder them.
Slide: 1
Item: Step 1: Identify a Problem
Match: Decrease transportation costs in a measurable way
Item: Step 2: Review Literature
Match: Research cost of driving during non peak hours exploring hard data and numbers
Item: Step 3: Specify the purpose of the study
Match: State an observable hypothesis on how drive time for commuters impacts transportation costs
Item: Step 4: Collect quantitative data
Match: Send out a survey on drive time to 1,500 drivers in the Chicago area
Correct Feedback:
First, identify a problem which in this case is a need to decrease transportation costs. Second, review
literature and do research on driving during non peak hours. Third, hypothesize on costs of drive time
during peak hours versus non peak hours and finally, send out a survey to commuters to get some
quantitative data.

Slide: 2
Item: Step 5: Interpret collected data
Match: Relate one variable to another or compare grouped differences of collected data from the
survey on drive time and cost.
Item: Step 6: Analysis of the results
Match: Predict trends and forecast performance of future driving costs
Item: Step 7: Disseminate the results
Match: Publish the results in a quantitative format using charts, tables and quantitative tools.
Correct Feedback: In step 5 interpret the collected data and relate one variable to another. Next,
analyze the results and predict trends. Finally, publish the results in a quantitative format using charts,
graphs and tables.
