CHAPTER ONE
1.1 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
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 solution to a problem.” From the above, we take the problem to mean a situation where there is an established difficulty without any immediate remedy. It also means some malfunctioning of a part of a part of a system. A problem can also mean anything hat 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 refer coca-cola to other products. It is also negative when the problem is tarnishing or deteriorating he 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 sometimes are unable to grow and develop financially, economically and other wise. These problems are as a result of many causes in which lack of or ignorance of research work is one of them. On the 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 must be purely systematically and scientific in nature.
Research as a discipline also helps to make new discoveries because the researcher must have gone through all necessary requirements to note what to do through all necessary requirements to note what to do and what ought not to be done. Infact, management and research should be refereed 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 in decision making, thereby enhancing the Chan of success.
This project is designed to meet needs of such vital benefit and loopholes of research using Nigerian Bottling Company Plc. Enugu as a case of study. The nature this work requires the vertical approach and analysis which will cover such dimension as:
a. Information is a said to be the life wire of every business. It also has a vital lay in organization research work. It is also said that “to manage information is to manage business well” (manion harper). Some internal information of the organization are, answers from questionnaire within the organizational interview of worker, past records e.t.c. External information may include; field survey, population survey, market survey, competitions or other organization records.
b. Research and management as an inseparable body in any organizational, the main duty of management is decision making, and any decision made is based 805 on the research findings. What to produce and how to produce. Even the distribution aspect of it, will be determines by the research work.
c. Lack of understanding creating some problems between management and researcher.
Research cannot communicate, they do not understand and they not talk the language of management:
These 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 used research questions in its information and research development. The company holds a franc use of coca-cola company of the United States of American drinks such as Coke, Fanta, (oranges, Tonic, ginger and Chapman) Sprite, Club Soda and other latest fanta lemon. Their branches are scattered all over the world. Coca-Cola is one of the oldest mineral soft drinks manufacture in the world.
