CHAPTER THREE 3.0 Research Methodology 3.1 Research Design This section describes the major procedures that will be used in carrying out the research. This study is multi-site mixed method case study that will employ a Concurrent Triangulation Mixed-Method design. Using a multisite mixed methods approach, the study will strive to appraise selected peri-urban settlements situated on the fringes of Port Harcourt. 3.1.1 A Multisite Mixed Methods Approach A Multi-site case study investigates a defined
integrated research in public health (PH) has reviewed in further depth the two branches of research described as the positivist (quantitative) and interpretivism (qualitative). My approach as a PH researcher will define the research question based on a quantitative, qualitative or a mixed-methods approach. Prior to this module, knowledge about providing a rationale for the method selected and understanding the best method to use to answer the research question was biased towards a quantitative approach
Research may be defined as “an endeavour to discover new or collate old facts etc. by the scientific study of a subject or by a course of critical investigation” (Oxford Concise Dictionary, 1995). This definition clearly emphasizes the importance of methodologies as it pertains to researching a subject matter. It is for this reason that it is extremely essential that the researcher adequately considers the relative merits of a range of possible methodologies along with their associated data needs
The Research Process and Methodology Student’s Name: Institutional Affiliation: The Research Process and Methodology The research process begins with the identification of the subject to be researched; this could be a problem that needs a solution, or a prediction that needs to be proven. After the identification of the subject, it is thoroughly reviewed and all the facts about the subject drafted. The next step is the formation of a hypothesis which acts as a guideline for the proposal. With the
cultural problems. This research is important for newly opened cross cultural business, governments, and general education. It helps to know how various cross cultural problems arise and the different way of dealing with such problems. So, due to these cross cultural problems and their importance on international business negotiations this research has been conducted. 4. Methodology 4.1 Nature of the study The research will have a combination of qualitative and quantitative approach (mixed method
behaviour. • To analyse different online websites used by students in purchasing apparels and to identify their advantages and disadvantages. 1.3 Research questions RQ1. Why it is important to understand online and offline purchase behaviour of students for buying apparels? RQ2. What are the different models, theories and concepts
A research paradigm could be considered as a framework based on people´s philosophies and assumptions about current knowledge. The paradigm guides how research should be accomplished and there are mainly two fundamental paradigms that are used; positivism and interpretivism (Collis and Hussey, 2014). Positivism is associated with deductive theory and quantitative methods whereas interpretivism is associated with findings being derived from qualitative methods. This motivates the reason to choose
The issues associated with the maintenance of high morale of staff members during mergers and acquisitions are quite complex and wide ranging. They include the level of awareness of the issue, the importance assigned to this factor by management in terms of its potential impact on business, commitment of the leadership team, willingness to allocate adequate resources, use of professional design and implementation of interventions, setting up of mechanisms for interim reviews and course correction
sciences study. There should be given adequate attention, evaluation and public support for basic research, which in turn can significantly promote the quality of applied research in various fields. The research that is focused on the quality of its outputs and related effects can be called qualitative research. Qualitative research may require approach, technology and methodology that have more an innovative unstructured nature; methods that are more "sensitive" to the socio-environmental context;
viable utilisation of qualitative and quantitative methodology with a specific end goal to achieve solid results of research study. In the meantime, mixed research strategy unequivocal exploits making utilisation of numerous approaches to viably investigate a recognised research issue. The methodology is portrayed by accumulation and additionally examination of quantitative information that is essentially trailed by social occasion and investigation of qualitative research information. The primary
