Research question or moving target?


We have reached the semester end and my research question has evolved from questioning the legitimacy of online gambling in Canada in light of the Kahnawake Gaming Commission, then looking at ways for small Canadian businesses to successfully launch online gambling ventures, to now studying how applying data and web analytics concepts could help curb problem gambling. The main reason from moving from the original idea stemmed from the fact that, it seemed to belong more in a law faculty; the second research idea appeared more fitted in a business/management school. I am confident that my current approach is more suited for a study in the context of the iSchool, however some concerns remain as to being able to somewhat simulate real gambling behavior in the context of a study for the purpose of gathering pertinent data.
