Research objectives need to be formulated according to SMART objectives, where the acronym

1. Specific – talk in a precise and clear way about what you are going to do.
2. Measurable – how will you know when you have achieved your aim?
3. Achievable – make sure that you are not overly ambitious.
4. Realistic – recognize the time and resource constraints that come with doing and don’t attempt
to do too much.
5. Time-constrained – determine when each objective needs to be completed.
A critical component of a successful research is a set of clearly defined and meaningful objectives.
Having well-defined objective narrows and focuses the research and ensures that the findings are
relevant to decision makers.

The research objectives drive all aspects of the methodology, including instrument design, data
collection, analysis and ultimately the recommendations.
