classifying research are as per the following: 1) Descriptive versus Analytical Research : Descriptive research deals with finding facts to establish the nature of something as it exists. In contrast analytical research deals with determining validity of hypothesis based on analysis of facts collected. 2) Applied versus Fundamental Research : Applied research is carried out to find solutions to practical problems to be solved and as help in decision making in different areas like engineering design and insurance
