Do you the Difference between Inductive and Deductive Approach, how its approach varies in the filed of Research & development.
What you have labeled "deductive" in your approach is actual "abductive" -- which is defined according to developing a theory from observation. In contrast, deduction begins with a theory and predicts what one should observe in order to test that theory.
The main difference between inductive and deductive approaches to research is that whilst a deductive approach is aimed and testing theory, an inductive approach is concerned with the generation of new theory emerging from the data.
A deductive approach usually begins with a hypothesis, whilst an inductive approach will usually use research questions to narrow the scope of the study.
For deductive approaches the emphasis is generally on causality, whilst for inductive approaches the aim is usually focused on exploring new phenomena or looking at previously researched phenomena from a different perspective.
Inductive approaches are generally associated with qualitative research, whilst deductive approaches are more commonly associated with quantitative research. However, there are no set rules and some qualitative studies may have a deductive orientation.
I agree with Mr. Nosrati's opinion.
His description is scientific, precise and comprehensive.
Good luck.

Dear Prof. Asim Farooq,
Difference between Inductive and Deductive Approach:
The main difference between inductive and deductive approaches to research is that inductive approach is concerned with the generation of new theory emerging from the data, where as deductive approach starts with a statement or hypothesis and then tests to see if it’s true through observation.
I hope the information will help you.
With Best Wishes,

There are many differences between inductive and deductive approaches. A deductive approach is aimed and testing theory, while an inductive approach is concerned with the generation of new theory emerging from the data.
Deductive have the following steps:
Theory building
Building Hypothesis
Collect Observation
Conformation or Declining the Hypothesis
Inductive have the following steps:
Collect Observation
Detect Patterns
Formulate tentative Hypothesis
Develop general conclusions or/and Theories
