Examining the Data

Abstract

Many books concerned with investigational method, i.e work study and method study, are content with treating this subject as a questioning technique in much the same way as the various charting techniques are described. There is a particular method by which the subject can be approached, and certain conventions to be followed. Once these criteria have been satisfied, the results of the examination are presumed to be self-evident. Nothing in fact could be further from the truth.
