TASK 3
P5 Research Methodology
In order to conduct a good research it is important for the researcher to have a brief plan
of what he is going to conduct and how he is going to undertake the activities one after another
so that appropriate study is taken out. Further a good research project helps in making the people
know what has been carried out and what inferences have been drawn from it(Jain and et.al,
2016). Thus a scholar prepares a methodology or we can say a plan which includes in which
manner research will be carried out thus it is important for the researchers to make the
methodology as this gives them an outlook of the process they will be carrying out.
Research Philosophy

A research philosophy is that element which helps in making the researcher to believe
about the way he is going to do the research is better in every context. Thus it deals with the way
in which data in relation to subject matter should be collected, analyzed and used. Thus a
research philosophy helps in building a good research design and other elements of the
methodology.
Research Design
A research design is the blue print of the research study which involves collection,
measurement and analysis of the data. It gives the researcher an aid in allocating the limited
resources by utilizing the crucial choices in methodology. Research design helps in finding out
the answers of research questions. It is a plan and structure of investigation. There are majorly
three types of research designs and those are: Exploratory, descriptive and hypothesis(Rochon,
du Bois and Lange, 2014). For the purpose of this study the research design taken account is
Descriptive research design as it will help in collecting the data from the questionnaire and helps
in making of analysis of that.
Research Approach
A research approach also plays a vital role in conducting the research as through the
approach a researcher knows how and what kind of the research should be taken out so that the
aims and objectives of the research study can be met. Thus there are different types of research
studies which can help in making the research better and they are: applied, fundamental,
Descriptive, quantitative and qualitative research approaches(Mukhopadhyay and Gupta, 2014).
Thus undertaking the best according to the topic helps in making the research effective.
Data Collection
Herein there are two data collection techniques which helps in finding out the relevant
data related to the subject matter. The two sources of data collection are Primary and secondary
data collection techniques. Primary sources of data is collected by undertaking an interview or a
questionnaire, also it is collected through the different set of surveys(Emmel, 2015). On the other
hand secondary sources of data is collected through the books, magazines, journals, white

papers, news papers, etc. Thus for the purpose of this study the data is collected from both the
sources as both are important from the point of view of subject matter.
Sampling
Sampling is another important technique which is used by the researcher to find out the
most suitable target audience who can effectively give their view on making the research project
better and without any biasness involved. Thus the researcher through appropriate sampling
technique finds the people who can draw or answer the questions framed by him to collect the
data. The various type of sampling methods are stratified, Systematic, cluster, area, probability,
convenience, judgmental and quota sampling(Harley and et.al, 2015). Thus to collect the
appropriate data the audience chosen by the researcher is as per his knowledge and the reach,
which makes him use convenience sampling method.
Data Analysis
Data analysis forms the important part of the research as through the analysis of data only
a researcher will make interpretations on the data and further the recommendations can be made
in order to solve the problem or to make necessary changes in the current operations for the
better future. Thus to do an analysis of the data it is important for a researcher to have the tools
for that(Drabble and et.al, 2014). Thus merely collection of the data is not the end of the
research, the data needs to be structured in a systematic manner which helps in making the pie
charts and bar charts through which analysis of the data is easy and convenient for the author or
the scholar.
Ethical considerations
In order to conduct the research in an appropriate manner it is vital for the researcher to
make the necessary analysis of the environment and the resources which are being utilized at the
time of the research. Thus it is important that the researcher should consider the rules and
regulations which are made in respect of preserving the resources. There should not be over
utilization of the resources(Wang and et.al, 2013).

P6 Recommendations
Thus as per the research it has been identified that in the present scenario corporate social
responsibility is the key and delivering it in an appropriate manner will make the business to
achieve the competitive edge and further the analysis of the data collected it has been examined
that in order to have that edge over the competitors the businesses should undertake different
measures in relation to corporate social responsibility. The measures are:
 Top management should take initiative towards CSR and determine that they will
actually carry out measures related to CSR.
 Mission, Vision and values statement of the firm should go beyond making the profit and
should be specifically reflecting the ethical and responsible business practices.
 Integration of CSR in decision Making.
 Accountability For CSR in Job Profiles.
 Recruitment and promotion policies of the firm should highlight the entity's commitment
towards CSR.
 Influencing others to be socially responsible.
 CSR Reporting and audit.
