REFECTION REPORT
The research study and the report have been a very fulfilling experience for me. It has
helped me in various ways to develop different aspects and personality. The structure of the
research paper has been followed from Saunders, Lewis and Thornhill (2015), and while

and analysis procedures. After studying these in an extensive manner and understanding the
underlying logic, I was able to select the appropriate research methodology for the study on the
