For this purpose, all essential steps in the development of a research design will be discussed: Formulation of a research question, literature review, theory, hypothesis definition and testing, concept definitions and operationalisation, case selection and empirical testing. Among others, we will discuss the following questions: How do I find a research question? How do I formulate a research question? What elements should a quantitative research design contain? How can a research question be justified in a theoretically appropriate way?
