Section One: Title, objective, responsibilities
Research title: Globalization - Technology
Research project objectives: Before initiating any research, there is a foundation to have
objectives and aim. This research is based on analyzing the effects of technology with respect to
globalization. It lays emphasis on the overall assessment of contribution of technology to enhance
economic conditions in relation to globalization.
Section Two: Reasons for choosing this research project
There are couple of reasons for choosing this topic such as the rise of digitization in all spheres of
life and its evident existence is becoming more prominent in recent times. Another valid reason has
to be the welcoming attitude of open economy in almost all the countries leading to harmonious
relationship along with growing technological interventions in dealing with all aspects.
Section Three: Literature sources searched
According to Ashford and Hall,2018, it has been clearly demonstarted that global economic issues
has a influence on the revolutionary movement of technology that emphasis on the running of labor
markets,types of products,methods of production and many more. Additionally, these technological
advancements has a threat due to dyfunctinality of developing techniques,requirement of huge
budget, commercialization and shaping pattern for competitive advantages. Also, Martinez, 2017
there is a rapid trajectory for a proper interaction between implementation of scientific research
methodologies and globalization.

Section Five: Research approaches and methodologies
There are major three types of approaches such as induction, deduction and abduction. In this
regard, deduction approach is suitable as the data collection will be based on hypotheses related to
existing theory or any proposition. Whereas, research methodology is carried out on collecting,
explaining and predicting work for study of the research topic. Both quantitative and qualitative
analyses will be included.
