Abstract
Practical social research involves negotiation with a client organisation about the purpose of the research project, its intended outcome and also the research methods to be used. On this last point the supervisor and you the student are the ‘experts’ who will have to decide how to carry out the research. You can discuss with the client organisation various strategies for obtaining the results, but ultimately you and your supervisor have responsibility for choosing what is appropriate and feasible.
