Introduction
Research projects that implement both quantitative and qualitative research are usually
those with a very different perspective, especially when considered from a philosophical
viewpoint. The research philosophy associated with quantitative research is that of positivism, as
in this case the belief is that the social and physical reality is not dependent on the researchers
who formulate or observe it (Hughes & Sharrock, 2016). However, in case of qualitative
research, the arguments stated by the researcher have a relation with the post positivism, and it is
to be assumed that the social facts and their construction mode are not only established but also
varied in case of different individuals. There are many kinds of research models that exist, as
both qualitative and quantitative methods have their own individual set of models (Yin, 2017).
