RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
Research methodology refer to the process in which all the research is being done and the
process of research and data analysis, limitation are being found by the researcher. Research Type: Research type refer to the process in which the research is being
calculated by the process of which way it is being done. There are 2 kinds of
investigation type, one is quantitative and other is qualitative. In this research we will
take the qualitative research because it gives human psychology and beliefs in it. On
different mitt quantitative approach is done on numerical information and numerical
collection. The researcher is taking the qualitative research for this report. Research Approach: Research approach refer to the approach a researcher made in doing
the research on a particular topic (Dodds and Hess, 2020). Research approach are of two
type inductive and deductive. Inductive approach is done on human beliefs and
qualitative data and on other hand deductive approach is done on quantitative data. The
investigator will yield inductive because the search type is qualitative, and the deductive
approach is not taken as it is used in quantitative approach. Research Philosophy: Research Philosophy module be done in Interpretivism manner as
the search is done in qualitative form. It will show human touch and human belief's and
qualitative form of research include Interpretivism philosophy. Data Collection: Data collection is done in two ways one primary and other one is
secondary. In this the researcher will do both type of research. The research needs to be
done in depth and need both primary and secondary collection.

 Sampling: Data sampling refer to the process in which the sampling of the data take
place from the market and other ways. The sampling of data will be doing in simple
random sampling and purposive way to do the sampling.

way as the research is done in qualitative performing and type with inductive approach in
it, so the data will be analysed in thematic analysis. The researcher have taken 30
respondents (Mohajan, 2018). Ethical Consideration: Ethical consideration refer to process in which their searcher
proof that all the research is done in the ethic way of doing process. Ethical thinking will
be done by investigator and both the consent sort and statement form will be filled by
responder which display the evidence about research quality. RM Limitations: Research limitation refer to the process in which the researcher
provides the best of the research on the topic and it also reflect that the researcher have
done the best of the research in the giver limited resources and the limited time. The work

Former one focuses on facts and figure didn’t consider human emotions in the study
which gives more promising results while later one focuses on social world in the
research. Positivism has benefit that it will give accurate result when study emphasizes on
numerical, budgets etc. and hence used in accounting and budgeting or maths related
