Jasmeena Posted April 5, 2012 Report Share Posted April 5, 2012 Oh well. Hi! I listen B&M on SL and I was wondering if I can do some kind of primary research (a research project) for my IA?? I would really like that! I wanted to take HL B&M but you can't really have 5 HL subjects, can you?? My teacher said it shouldn't be a problem but that he isn't really sure . Help???

Jyrgen Posted April 5, 2012 Report Share Posted April 5, 2012 (edited) Yeah go ahead, there's nothing stopping you from doing primary research. From what I gather, you can get the highest grades even with secondary research only. The important thing is that your supporting documents represent a variety of opinions/points of view. So ideally you should find all of them from different sources.

Jasmeena Posted April 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2012 Surprisingly, my intentions aren't the highest grades at this point. I know I can get the highest ones with secondary research only. I did one for an exercise and I got a 7. But it's just... I don't want to doo secondary research. Business is really interesting and appealing to me and I would really like to do primary researches Thaanks so much ) Nice! Are you HL or SL?

Chicken_Jose Posted February 12, 2013 Report Share Posted February 12, 2013 You can do both primary and secondary. Im mostly focusing on secondary but I would say a online survey or interview would be enough for primary. As long as you can justify why you only did secondary-say it would be hard to interview fellow students as they are not in the position to answer them. I would say 1 primary research would be enough. Most students get full marks and they didnt use primary research. Depends on your topic, as if you did on a big company it would be hard to interview the head and wouldnt be helpful interviewing the person selling the object.eg on those lines Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
