6 Proposed Methodology
Secondary methodology will be used in the process of data collection and data analysis. In this case, data
will be collected from peer-reviewed journals and articles. The very first step that will be performed is
establishment of research question and hence wise tracing the data location will be performed. Proper
gathering of the sources that might be used in the process of data collection will be performed in this
section. After the selection of the data set the central aspect that is to be considered will be data
evaluation. Hence wise the data that will be collected will be analysed as well. Both qualitative and
quantitative data collection and analysis will be performed. Initially, qualitative data analysis will be
performed. After performing quantitative data analysis, a proper understanding of the concept will be
made. With adequate performing of the quantitative data collection, analytical data will be collected and
analysed. This will act as a base for future research work in quantitative analysis. After performing
qualitative data collection and analysis, quantitative data collection will be made. Data will be collected
from peer-reviewed journals and articles. This will ensures that copyright issues will be getting
eliminated.
