Paper Summary:

This paper begins by explaining what makes a good research paper. It shows that, often, researchers are required to utilize a combination of research methods before they can actually come to the desired conclusions. The paper shows that field research is one such method that requires the integration of other methods before the researcher can arrive at the desired results. In the example used in this paper, in which the objective of the research was to determine how children react to a change in the cafeteria menu item, the author illustrates this concept and explains how the different approaches can be used to augment one another.

From the Paper:

"Children are sensitive to official representative or authority figure. A researcher would likely face less resistance with informal interview as compared to a more formal interview. Furthermore, an informal interview allows the researcher to delve into information that is not superficial. For this reason the method of informal interview, combined with the formal survey is required for conducting the survey effectively and efficiently."
