ESSAY ON RESEARCH METHODOLOGY1
Introduction
The development of the effective research has been largely impacted by the inclusion of
the operations and development of the smart operations (Clemence, Doise and Lorenzi-Cioldi
2014). The inclusion of the research methodology helps in improving the possibility of analyzing
the work required for the completion of the work and the development of the final outcomes
from the project. The quantitative research methodology would be helpful for collecting
information and analyzing the data for forming the inference (Serrador and Pinto 2015). The
following assignment would develop a literature review on the research methodology of
quantitative nature for analyzing the development of the smart work alignment. The report would
include the analysis of the various articles and journals for developing the effective analysis of
the works for the implication management. The quantitative research methodology would be
helpful for forming the analysis of the research articles and utilizing them for the formation of
the final documentation. The research methodology is helpful for seeking confirmation of the
hypothesis for a specific topic. Apart from this, whenever a data in form of statistical results and
data is available, the quantitative method would be executed.
Literature Review of Quantitative Research Methodology
According to Padmore, Stark, Turkevich and Champion (2017), the quantitative research
method deals with numbers and measurable entities for investigation of their relationship using
metric values. The quantitative research method would involve the study of the variables
included in the topic and it ends with approval or rejection of the hypothesis developed. The
testing of the hypothesis set is done with the help of the numerical parameters for identifying the
research work completion and the data collection variables (Muratovic et al. 2015). The
quantitative method would be formed with the inclusion of the factors for the development of the
smart innovation analysis. The objectives of the quantitative methodology would deploy
effective mathematical model for the defining of the hypotheses and theories. Sun, Roth and
Black (2014) stated that the focus of the methodology is on the empirical relations and
mathematical values for the listing of the innovation and development. The process of
quantitative research methodology starts with data collection based on the hypothesis set so that
ample amount of data is collected for analysis. The data collection can be either primary (self-
collected) or secondary (using authentic data resources). The primary data can be collected using

ESSAY ON RESEARCH METHODOLOGY2
surveys, questionnaire, and correlation research (Kuehlewein, Sadda and Sarraf 2015). After that
the process includes the data analysis using mean (normal distribution) or standard deviation
(correlation coefficients or ANOVA or t-test).
The analysis of the study by (Edden et al. 2014) results in pointing out the characteristics
of the quantitative research methodologies namely deductive in nature, testing process,
controlled setting, numerical data collection, and analysis of statistical inference. It is clear that
the quantitative analysis involves the analysis of the data and numbers. The data and numerical
can be either collected from surveys and questionnaire or can be used from any other research.
The information collection would include the analysis of the research based on any specific
variable (Ducret, Quardokus and Brun 2016). It involves the study of the variables included in
the topic and it ends with approval or rejection of the hypothesis developed. The testing of the
hypothesis set is done with the help of the numerical parameters for identifying the research
work completion and the data collection variables. According to Bauer, Cubizolles, Schmidt and
Nigg (2016), the focus of the methodology is on the empirical relations and mathematical values
for the listing of the innovation and development. Hence, it can be easily stated that the process
is deductive in nature using the numerical data collection with inference developed using the
analysis of statistical tools (mean and standard deviation). The testing of the data is done by
analysis of the information collected from the data collection in controlled setting and
environment (Wu, Burda, Salakhutdinov and Grosse 2016). The research study would be based
on the testing results of the test processes for developing the final inference.
According to the study by Corominas et al. (2014), the quantitative research methodology
finds its use in numerous research papers due to its deductive nature. The methodology results in
bringing some inference on a study using the comprehensive numerical data and statistical tool.
It is helpful for deducing the correct application of hypothesis by evaluating whether or not the
hypothesis is correct. The compilation of the information using the frequent analysis of the data
would enable the implication of the successive information development (Mackenzie et al.
2015). The research methodology is helpful for seeking confirmation of the hypothesis for a
specific topic. Apart from this, whenever a data in form of statistical results and data is available,
the quantitative method would be executed. According to Price et al. (2015), the highly structure
methods of the data analysis would be helpful for evaluation of the data gathered through tools

and equipment. The quantitative research methodology would be helpful for forming the analysis
of the research articles and utilizing them for the formation of the final documentation. It allows
the answering of the questions that are closed ended in nature with quantifiable answers
(Nakajima and Telyukova 2017). The process also finds it use for the development of the results
in objective language. The testing of the hypothesis set is done with the help of the numerical
parameters for identifying the research work completion and the data collection variables.
Iqbal et al. (2015) have listed the advantages of using quantitative research as helpful for
specific research problem, use of clear and independent variable, high level of reliability, and
minimum self judgement. The quantitative research method deals with numbers and measurable
entities for investigation of their relationship using metric values involving the study of the
variables included in the topic and it ends with approval or rejection of the hypothesis developed.
The methodology would help in ensuring that a specific problem in dealt for the study (Yuan et
al. 2015). The analysis of the works would be successfully implied with the consideration of the
topic for analysis. The methodology would help in defining some specific research problems and
answering them using the data analysis. The research problems developed for the consideration
of the factors for the involvement of the independent variable. According to Arlehamn et al.
(2016), the identification of the dependent and independent variables are very crucial for the
analysis of the factors for the development. The use of the domain for the primary data analysis
would result in leaving no scope for the self judgement. All the analysis would be done using the
primary data. The use of the statistical tool would result in developing high reliability factor
(Schmidt et al. 2015). The error coefficient can be reduced using the statistical tools and hence,
the output would be correct and appropriate. This type of research yields the appropriate
outcomes based on the hypothesis and variables with the help of the information and data
collected. The analysis would also ensure that the implication of the works would be supported
by the utilization of the smart work listing and development.
On the other hand, Son et al. (2016) have brought about the points of disadvantages of
using the quantitative research methodology as limited outcomes, lack of controlled
environment, expensive, and time consuming. These are the major drawbacks of using the
quantitative research methodology for the analysis study. The development of the study of the
factors for the development of the specific work compilation would be dependent on the
