RESEARCH METHODOLOGYIntroductionResearch methodology is the systematic approach to conduct a study on particularsubject. It supports in answering the research questions so that valid results can come out.Methodology aids in resolving the problems by taking assistance of correct research methods.This chapter will discuss various methods and techniques that are used for conducting thisinvestigation. Proper justification will be given for selecting particular method (Taylor, Bogdanand DeVault, 2015). Research philosophyResearch philosophy is considered as belief of the researcher that guides theinvestigation. It is the tool that supports in developing knowledge about the topic and identifyingthe significance of the study. Development of knowledge is highly depended upon theperspective of individual and practical consideration. Philosophy assists the researcher in findingthe way of conducting research in an effective manner (Lewis, 2015). There are various kinds ofphilosophies such as: Positivism, interpretivism, realism etc. Positivism is the method whichbelieves that data about the topic can be gathered from objective point of view. It is highlystructured method and researcher has to involve large sample size in this method so that accurateresults can be generated. It is the type of method which is applied in quantitative type ofresearches because in this, scholar has to formulate hypotheses and on the bases of thesehypotheses, further studies are conducted. On other hand, interpretivism is another philosophythat carries out the research from subjective point of view (Flick, 2015). It is generally applied inthe qualitative type of studies where scholar has to take support of existing models and have toevaluate these theories in order to get valid results. Realism is another type of method that can beapplied in both qualitative and quantitative type of researches.As current study is based on significance of managing changes in health care organisationin order to deliver quality services (Vaioleti, 2016). Organizational semiotics is the study inwhich researcher applies various methods of semiotics. It is the social technical approach thathas supported the researcher in sharing information regarding health car services. For that,scholar has chosen interpretivism philosophy. The main reason of applying this tool is thattheories related to managing changes in healthcare system and effectiveness of these changes canbe identified by using theories and models. This subjective viewpoint has supported the1
researcher in developing understanding about the topic. By this individual become able to knowabout information architecture from technical aspects. That has supported the scholar inidentifying impact of managing changes on quality of services in health care organisation. Thismethod focuses more on qualitative nature of the research problems that has supportedresearcher in critically analysing the topic and gathering quantifiable detail about managingchanges in NHS (Gast and Ledford, 2014). Research designResearch design is the scientific procedure of carrying out the investigation that helps inconducting research in systematic manner. It can also be defined as detailed outline that supportsthe scholar in identifying the way of conducting entire study. It is the tool that assists ingathering factual details about the subject matter. Types of research designs are as following:descriptive, exploratory, experimental etc (Ross, Rogers and Duff, 2016). Descriptive researchdesign is the method that pays more attention on theoretical analyses and uses the models andtheories so that information about the topic can be gathered. On other hand, exploratory researchdesign is another type of method that focuses on uncovered issues. Experimental designconcentrates on gathering detail about the topic by doing experiments. Organizational semiotics is based on fundamental observations. Semiosis is signmediation that consists of three universals. As it is based on observations thus, in the currentresearch, scholar has taken support of descriptive research design. This has supported gatheringin-depth detail about managing changes in NHS in order to improve quality of services in theorganisation (Sunderland and et.al, 2015). This method has supported in developingunderstanding about significance of managing changes in health and social care organisation andimpact of these changes on quality services. As in the current project, researcher has to givedetail about social technical parts such as implementation of ERP and other technical software.These details can be gathered by using descriptive research design. Thus, it is suitable for thestudy and has helped the researcher in identifying various changes that are needed in NHS so thatit can improve its service quality. Descriptive research design is the appropriate method for thepresent research topic because it helps in providing clear picture of the current situation of NHSand how these changes can impact on the services quality of health care organisation. It assists injustifying current practices and importance of managing changes in the organisation (Haydon,Browne and van der Riet, 2018). That describes clear picture of medical professional those who2
