Academic Research vs. Workplace Research

I found the section in Chapter 6 about understanding the differences between academic and workplace research to be interesting, because I have never really thought about there being a difference between the two topics. I have only really participated in academic research, where my goal has been to look for information to answer a scholarly question, which is more abstract than applied, and relies more on secondary research. In doing research for the workplace, I would be looking for information to answer a practical question, and I'd be relying more on primary research (like observations, experiments, interviews, questionnaires, etc.) This section made me think about what it will be like when I will one day conduct research in the workplace, and I believe the information provided in the textbook (and what I learn in class) will help me when the time comes.
