The current method used for this investigation are effective in meeting the research

information in most easiest and simplest way. Thus, it can be reflected that use of current
research methods are effective in meeting objectives and aim of this research project. Use of
quantitative research method is made for current study that enhanced the generalisation of results
and also impose accuracy in results thus ensures effectiveness of current research work.
6.3. Alternative research methodologies
In quantitative research the data collected is mainly limited and it render numerical
description rather than detailed narrative thus lead to much narrower and sometimes collects
superficial dataset thus, the alternative research methodology that could be used for current
research includes complete use of qualitative data that gives and obtain deeper understanding of
particular topic. But the only issue associated with use of this alternative research methodology
is that it is more time consuming and includes more in depth interviews for data collection thus,
makes it more difficult and complex to gather information thus, it is less relevant to complete
research work on time. Further presentation of theoretical information is also more time
consuming and difficult.
