Research As Instrument Of Organization Effectiveness

INTRODUCTION
Research as the oxford advanced learners dictionary puts it, says that it is a careful study of a subject, especially in order to discover new fats or information about it.
The instrumentality of research as an organization effectiveness cannot be over emphasis. Research has kept so many companies in market. So it has been the back bone of every successful company.
A company like Nigeria bottling company for instance cannot under estimate the importance of research. They themselves are on epitome of research with research they were able to determine ways of running the company with less cash and to be able to maximize profit also to increase their production efficiency.
Research goes beyond the scientific aspect of the company, it transcends beyond the boundary of their laboratory brings up a new product the marketing should be able to research and come up with a new way of telling the consumers that their new product is good even better, and also coming them to in most their money in it. We all know that changes is the only thing constant so without research we will not be able to adjust and know along with the inconsistent market. Nigerians are eager for new and improve method or products and only research can make it a possibility.
Management and research should be referred to as the body and soul of organization because without it ( research) the tendency growth of any organization will be too low.

1.1 GENERAL BACKGROUND OF THE SUBJECT MATTER
There have been many definitions of the term “Research”, but the one the researcher is going to use in this work states that “Research is the systematic and scientific method of finding solutions to a problem. From the definition above, we take the problem to means, a situation where there is an established difficulty without any immediate remedy. It also means some malfunctioning of a part of a system. A problem can also mean anything that impedes the smooth running of a system or anything of interest to carryout investigation on. It can be positive or negative. A problem is said to be positive when the course of interest under study is advantageous to the company.
Example, why people prefer coca-cola to other products. It is also negative when the problem is tarnishing or deteriorating the smooth running of the organization, example, why there is decrease in the sales PF “sprite”.
Many organizations after formation or birth go off or folds or sometime are unable to grow and develop financially, economically and otherwise.
These problems are as a result of many causes in which lack of or ignorance of research work is one of them. On the other hand, when well viewed it would be noticed that research work is of great benefit because it exposes the organization missing links.
Research is also most effective when carried accordingly, that is ,it must be purely systematic and scientific an nature.
Research as a discipline also helps to make new discoveries because the researcher must have gone through all necessary requirement to note what to do and what ought not be done.
Infact, management and research should be referred to as the body and soul of organization because without it (Research), the tendency of the growth of any organization will be two low research supplies management with data, which reduces the risks in decision making thereby enhancing the chance of success.
This project is designed to meet the needs of such vital benefits and loopholes of research using Nigeria bottling company Plc. Enugu as a case of study.
The nature of this work requires theoretical approach and analysis which will cover such dimension as.
1. The influence of information on research in organization.
2. Research and management as an inseparable body
3. Lack of understanding that creates problems between management and researchers.
Information is said to be the life-wire of every business. It also has a vital role to pay in organization research work. It is also said that “to manage information is to manage business well” (Marion)
Some internal information of the organization are; Answers from questionnaire within the organization, oral interview of workers, past records etc. external information may include; field survey, population survey, market survey competitions or other organization records.
Research and management as an inseparable body, ‘in any organization, the main duty of management is decision making and any decision made is based 80% on the research findings. What to produce and how to produce. Even the distribution aspect of it, will be determined by the research work.
c. lack of understanding creating some problems between management and researchers.
Management lays the following blames on researcher.
i. That research is not problem oriented it tends to provide plethora of facts but, not actionable projects.
ii. That researchers die too involved with techniques and they appear to be reductant to get involved in management problem”
iii. Research has shown vague, and questionable validity.
iv. Research cannot communicate, they do not language of management.

RESEARCHERS ALSO HAVE THESE COMPLAINTS ABOUT MANAGEMENT
i. Management does not include research decision making management tends to ask only for specific information about parts of problems.
ii. management pays more than- service to research and does not really understand appreciate its value
iii. Management does not allow enough time for research. They draw preliminary conclusion based on early or incomplete results.
iv. Management relies more on intuition and judgment than on research. Research is used as a crutch, not as a tool.
There misunderstandings are features of management and research. In order to accomplish this work, the Nigeria bottling company Plc, is the organization that would be used as case study because it uses research questions in its information and research development.
The company holds a franchise of coca-cola company of the united states of America. The company is bottler of mineral water soft drinks such as coke, fante, (orange, Tonic, Ginger, and Chapman) sprite, club soda and other latest fanta Lemmon.
Their branches are scattered all over the world coca-cola is one of the oldest mineral soft drinks manufacture in the world.
