EMPIRICAL METHODS OF SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH – THEORY AND PRACTICAL EXPERIENCE

Abstract

The purpose of the article is the determination of the place of empirical research in the general dimension of scientific research, analysis of the main approaches to their implementation and directions of practical application of the main methods of empirical research in research practice. Research methodology. The goals and objectives set out in the article were realized with the help of relevant general scientific and special research methods: comparative analysis and synthesis, systematization, logical generalization, interpretation and adaptation. The results. The basic principles of using general methods of scientific cognition in the results of applied research in the field of economics, management and entrepreneurship were proved by the authors of the article. The peculiarities of empirical research methods that will allow current researchers to use practical experience in the implementation of research with applied results were rounded up by the authors of the article. The analysis of the comparative characteristics of empirical research methods will allow the authors to combine methodological approaches to the use of research proposals to improve economic, managerial and entrepreneurial components in their scientific research. A step-by-step approach to conducting the study will allow a thorough approach to the effectiveness and form a list of errors that are possible when conducting empirical research. Practical significance of research results. The main research results presented in the article, their practical justification, complexity, experience and summary results are recommended for use as a basis for use in the research work of scientists who carry out research work in various areas and use practical experience in the implementation of research. Such approaches will allow for the development of scientific approaches in synergy with practical experience, and the implementation of applied research results that will be useful in conditions of uncertainty. The use of such methods as surveys, observations, etc. will allow to take into account the opinion of the research objects and will affect the effectiveness of the result. These features of empirical research lead to a combination of scientific and practical experience with a more positive result was proved in the article.
