terms as interviews, surveys and other research technique. Therefore, it defines as the systematic
investigation into the study and sources that will be used in order to establish facts and to reach
to conclusion. Thus, these as are-
Research philosophies- This is defined as belief with help of which data can be gathered,
analysed and used effectively (Ul-Hameed and et.al., 2019). It is term that mainly utilised for
gaining the in-depth knowledge of data. Herein, there are three differ categories in order to
collect the data with help of techniques as positivism, interpretive and realism. Positivism

researchers has used positivism philosophy as it aids to provide the information that is based on
both observation and interviews.
Research approach- This is term that is defined as plan and procedures that consist of various
steps to broad assumption and detailed method of data collection, analysis and interpretation. It is
term that is based in nature of the research and with help of it problem being addressed. Thus,
research approach classified into mainly three categories as deductive, inductive and abduction.
Herein, inductive approach can be defined as test the validity of assumption and inductive
approach defines as to make contribution in terms to the emergence of new theories and

problem. In order to carry out the present research, the researcher has used the deductive method
and this is mainly concerned with new theories and concept and this is generated on the basis of
concepts that has been utilised. This is the term that is based on the research problem that being
addressed.
13

Justification of choosing- This is the term that helps to evaluate the data on the basis of data
collection so that undertaking can be done as per formulation of the research questions. In order
to undertake the present research, researcher has used deductive approach in terms to conduct
theory testing.
Research design - This is term that is defined as step by step plan of action that helps to give the
direction to though and efforts that enables to conduct the research in systematic manner.
Research deign provides framework for data collection and analysis. This is term that is involves
of range of choices with help of using descriptive research. Therefore, conducting research

Hence, there are two different ways of research design as exploratory and descriptive.
At the time, when data is found from research process and literature background then it is
considered for answering the research questions. Herein, exploratory research design can be
termed out in more clearly, intended that aids to establish priorities, develop operational

research study, the researcher has used descriptive research design.
Justification for choosing- In this research, no theories have been generated, descriptive
research purpose is one of the appropriate design for research study. Therefore, descriptive study
provides portraying an accurate profile and depth information. Hence, this method is helpful in
order to undertake the depth of research study.
Data collection process- This is term that is defined as systematic process of gathering and
measuring information on differed variables of interest in an established systematic mode. It
enables to answer relevant question and also supports to evaluate outcomes. Therefore, there are
two methods of collecting data as primary and secondary method. Under primary method, data is
being collected with help of obtaining the perspective of the current scenario that is directly from
