RESEARCH METHODOLOGY 2
Methodology
The research design is significant for collecting information with respect to the current
research issue. The research methodology could assist the researcher to understand research
strategy, approaches, and methods to get a reliable and valid result. In the research
methodology, the researcher has concentrated on many factors like approaches, strategies,
philosophies, data collection method, data analysis method, sampling method, ethical
consideration, and research limitation (Mackey and Gass, 2015). In addition, it is effective for
the accomplishment of desired goal. In this research, two kinds of methods are mainly
considered by the researcher like research strategy as well as a data collection method. In
this research, it is also analyzed that research methodology leads to obtaining a quality result.
For this research, quantitative research design would be selected as it would be beneficial to
enable end-users to conveniently return e-waste to manufacturers. It would be effective for
gathering the numeric information regarding research issues (Taylor, Bogdanand, and
DeVault, 2015).
Expected results
This research is imperative for collecting the information about the end-users to conveniently
return e-waste to manufacturers. This research also supports to gain the understanding about
the primary data collection method, sampling, research strategy, and interview methods as it
would be imperative to systematically conduct the research and obtain a positive result.
Research Strategy
For this research, the research strategy is one of the significant components that facilitate
investigator to discover the research matter by responding to the questions of the research in a
reliable manner (Lewis, 2015).
In the research study, interview and survey research approaches are practiced by the
investigator. Because of using these approaches, scholar facilitates to obtain an adequate

amount of data as it could be related to the end-users to conveniently return e-waste to
manufacturers. Moreover, it is also analyzed that survey through approach facilitates research
scholar to obtain feasible information about the research issue.
Besides this, the application of an interview approach supported research scholar to collect
the opinion and views of the research participants towards the research issue. It supported the
researcher to support to develop the reliability of the study.
Data collection method
This research would emphasize on “How to enable end-users to conveniently return e-waste
to manufacturers". For this research, the application of primary data collection would be
imperative to develop a direct relationship with the consumer by understanding the opinion
regarding research concern. In contrast to this, the practice of secondary data gathering
technique would be beneficial for creating theoretical and detailed knowledge regarding
research concern (Silverman, 2016). By using this, an investigator would be competent for
gathering information through different resources like articles, journals, books, and websites
in order to enhance the reliability of research results. Under the primary data gathering
technique, survey through questionnaire and face-to-face interview techniques are
implemented for collecting the feasible data (Panneerselvam, 2014). This technique is also
helped an investigator for gathering the opinion of chosen respondents associated with "How
to enable end-users to conveniently return e-waste to manufacturers".
Sample
With the intention of this investigation, both sampling techniques would be practiced. Under
this, probability sampling strategy with random sampling would be implemented for choosing
the respondents to conduct the survey through a questionnaire (Neuman and Robson,
2014). With the intention of this conducting survey in the investigation, 70 end-users would
be selected who return e-waste to the manufacturer. In contrast to this, the non-probability
