According to whom '' to decide upon the right problem of research is half way to success'' ?

  • A.George Holmes
  • B.R. L. Eckoff
  • C.Lundberg
  • D.Goode and Hatte

Answer: B

The keyed answer is R.L. Ackoff (printed 'Eckoff').

Russell L. Ackoff wrote The Design of Social Research (1953), and the key credits him with the remark that to decide upon the right problem of research is halfway to success. The thought is a common one in research methods: a research problem that is well chosen and well stated shapes the design of the whole study.

I could not find the quotation itself in any source I could check, so the attribution rests on the key. George Holmes, Lundberg and Goode and Hatt are known for other methodological works and none of them is the one the key gives.
