TASK 4
P7 Value of undertaking the research to meet stated objectives and own learning and
performance
In this task explain about own experiences which are faced during the process of
conducting research. There are many issues are faced by me while doing my work of research to
get stated results within stipulated period of time. The major two problems which are arise in
front of me is related to time and cost. Due to having less period of time I decided to conduct the
research through selection of 30 respondents from total population. This will affects the result of
my research to some extent as it involves the opinion of less number of people. Also, the method
which is used by me is close ended questionnaire due to not lack of time period and cost. But I
am able to conduct the research in effective manner and attained positive outcomes. From the
analysis of the information gathered from my research it is clear that small organisation is
required to adopt digital technology within their organisation to survive in market in appropriate
manner. Under this, I used the primary method of data collection to collect data and information.
I prepared a questionnaire to know about the opinions as well as view points of respondents
about specific topic. It is an appropriate method to gather relevant and accurate information or
data in an effective manner. For collect respondents, I used random data sampling method of
probabilistic method. Through this sampling, I gathered 30 respondents. The main drawback of
this sampling is that it is conducted on the random basis and also biased.
CONCLUSION
From the above given report, it has been concluded that digitalisation helps in enhance
effectiveness and efficiency of business operations in better way. Use of digital technology gives
20

different platforms to firm to communicate with the new consumers and retain existing. It helps
