what is the objacitve in feasivility study?

A feasibility study is exactly what it sounds like.\n\nLet's say you have a great idea for a business.  It sounds great, but without some type of research into the feasibity of your idea in real life, you'll never know if your "good idea" will ever be a "good business."\n\nA feasibility study will tell you, among other things, if you have sufficient capital to fund your business idea.

I hope you're more informative in your thesis.  What's the subject?

You generally cannot trust survey information regarding such loaded topics as appearances.  Most people want to think of themselves as not being all that affected by how people look, so they will answer your questions in a manner that does not reflect how they act.\n\nPrevious studies regarding appearances have generally had to be sneaky about it.  For example, one study involved holding mock malpractice trials, with the plaintiffs either being ugly or attractive.  The attractive ones ended up being awarded over three times as much money.

I think statistics has a higher chance of being relevant. It's usual to be able to analyze studies in any subject.

If there is no thoery to go with the study then you probably wont know what you are trying to test, or what the possible outcomes are. So if you don't know what outsomes are possible, then you may not be able to measure or even detect them.

That sounds like a very interesting propostion and I would be more than happy to take it up if I weren't studying for my final examinations now. I am free from mid June onwards! But do give me more details into your project and what help you'll need!

Depends (a) what subject/s you are taking and (b)where you are based/living. I can suggest some social science and humanities professors who could help you if your thesis is in these areas.

Organizational studies is the study of individual and group dynamics in an organizational setting, as well as the nature of the organizations themselves. Whenever people interact in organizations, many factors come into play. Organizational studies attempts to understand and model these factors.\n\nLike all social sciences, organizational behavior seeks to control, predict, and explain. But there is some controversy over the ethical ramifications of focusing on controlling workers' behavior. As such, organizational behavior or OB (and its cousin, Industrial psychology) have at times been accused of being the scientific tool of the powerful. Those accusations notwithstanding, OB can play a major role in organizational development and success.\n\nThe Greek philosopher Plato wrote about the essence of leadership. Aristotle addressed the topic of persuasive communication. The writings of 16th century Italian philosopher Niccolo Machiavelli laid the foundation for contemporary work on organisational power and politics. In 1776, Adam Smith advocated a new form of organisational structure based on the division of labour. One hundred years later, German sociologist Max Weber wrote about rational organisations and initiated discussion of charismatic leadership. Soon after, Frederick Winslow Taylor introduced the systematic use of goal setting and rewards to motivate employees. In the 1920's, Australian-born Harvard professor Elton Mayo and his colleagues conducted productivity studies at Western Electric's Hawthorne plant in the United States.\n\nThough it traces its roots back to Max Weber and earlier, organizational studies is generally considered to have begun as an academic discipline with the advent of scientific management in the 1890s, with Taylorism representing the peak of this movement. Proponents of scientific management held that rationalizing the organization with precise sets of instructions and time-motion studies would lead to increased productivity. Studies of different compensation systems were carried out.\n\nAfter the First World War, the focus of organizational studies shifted to analysis of how human factors and psychology affected organizations, a transformation propelled by the discovery of the Hawthorne Effect. This Human Relations Movement focused more on teams, motivation, and the actualization of the goals of individuals within organizations.\n\nProminent early scholars included:\n\nChester Barnard \nHenri Fayol \nMary Parker Follett \nFrederick Herzberg \nAbraham Maslow \nDavid McClelland \nVictor Vroom \nHerbert Alexander Simon \nJames G. March \n\nThe Second World War further shifted the field, as the invention of large-scale logistics and operations research led to a renewed interest in systems and rationalistic approaches to the study of organizations:\n\nIn the 1960s and 1970s, the field was strongly influenced by social psychology and the emphasis in academic study was on quantitative research.\n\nStarting in the 1980s, cultural explanations of organizations and change became an important part of study. Qualitative methods of study became more acceptable, informed by anthropology, psychology and sociology.\n\nCurrent state of the field\n\nOrganizational behavior is currently a growing field. Organizational studies departments are generally within business schools, although many universities also have industrial pyschology and industrial economics programs as well.\n\nThe field is highly influential in the business world with practitioners like Peter Drucker and Peter Senge turning the academic research into business practices. Organization behavior is becoming more important in the global economy as people with diverse backgrounds and cultural values have to work together effectively and efficiently. It is also under increasing criticism as a field for its ethnocentric and pro-capitalist assumptions (see Critical Management Studies).\n\n\nNotes\n\nNote 1: Organizational behavior is used in
