The hypothesis will be tested through a series of experiments. The results of the experiments will either prove or disprove the hypothesis.

How do i go about doing a brief secondary investigation of a question of interest to me related to organizational culture?

Organizational culture is a pretty hard thing to define, much less assess it's current problems, issues and opportunities. Let's start with a definition: Organizational culture consists of the actions, behaviors, systems, values and beliefs that persist over time. Please note that "persistent" also implies hard to change. There are volumes and volumes written on assessing (or diagnosing) organizational culture. Some of those references are below. There are three main methods of assessing organizational culture: archival methods, that use historical data, such as absenteeism, turnover, customer relations and retention, productivity records, etc.; The second is to gather information via surveys, whether they be numerical surveys, open-ended surveys, or some combination of both; and observation, where a consultant systematically observes meetings, discussions, individuals, etc. Usually a combination of all three will allow you to "triangulate" and come up with a thorough assessment of culture. Some of the books below will help. In addition, there are a couple of articles on websites that summarize much of the information. They are included in the web link to this article. Some references: Organizational Dynamics: Diagnosis and Intervention (Addison-Wesley Series on Organization Development) by John P.

Why does science tend to be a self-correcting way of knowing about things?

Because the heart of science is investigation, seeking to learn what has not already been learned and to get an accurate understanding of ourselves and the universe around us. The principle of science is to have proof of something, and to eliminate one's bias and preconceptions as best one can.

It happens, sometimes, that new ideas and theories in science contradict existing ideas or theories; sometimes this happens because new technology measures things more accurately (or measures things that could not be measured before); sometimes it happens because exceptions have been found to an existing theory and a new theory is developed that encompasses all cases or better fits existing data.

Science allows for progress, and true scientists allow for their own mistakes and errors, and to proceed on the most accurate known facts instead of presumption and assumption.

How do you publish scientific discoveries?

To publish a scientific discovery you will need to submit your findings to an appropriate scientific journal, such as Nature, the Journal of Catalysis, the American Journal of Pharmaceuticals or whatever is relevant to your field of research. Alternatively, if presenting your findings at a conference, your discovery might be published in the proceedings of the conference (and possibly, simultaneously or subsequently in a journal). However, your work will need to be peer reviewed and thoroughly verified and you will normally need to be working at a university or some kind of research lab, and normally such publications will not be possible by an individual starting out as a scientist (as anyone who asks this question presumably is) but would be published by (or jointly with) your professor/supervisor.
