Gantt Chart
In research Gantt Chart is important phenomenon, because it play important role within
managing entire research in systematic manner (Cauchi, Pliakas and Knai, 2017). Gantt Chart
apply by investigator in research for its suitable execution as well as for conducting activities as
per their priorities. Within Gantt chart their both vertical as well as horizontal lines which will be
suitable for representing time and activities related to research in effective manner. Within this,
several activities related to research are classified in appropriate manner for execution of study in
effective manner as well as for gaining suitable outcomes.
CHAPTER 2: RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
In research, this section is important part because it help in exploring that which part will
provide assistance to investigator in exploring entire research within systematic manner for
accomplishing potential outcomes in effective manner. In simple words it can be said that
research methodology based on aggregate applications that provide assistance within literature
review section in effective manner (Cauchi and et. al., 2017). Respective research report is based
on business plan related to diet food restaurant in Malta. In addition to this, scope of of this study
is wide as well as provide methodologies which are important in exploring research within right
manner. Suitable applications are mention below :-
Types of investigation – It is important section of research methodology which provide
assistance to activities within legitimating manner. For executing this research, it is crucial for
investigator to select suitable method of investigation for conducting operations in expected
direction. There are mainly two type of investigation methods such as qualitative and
quantitative both of them are effective for carrying out work in right manner. Qualitative
investigation method collect information which based on theoretical perspective. On the other
hand, through quantitative data or information gathered is in form of graph as well as pictures
which explain genuineness of research. For conducting this research qualitative research

methodology will utilise by researcher and by this they will be able to gain several theoretical
perspective in relation of selected topic (Goñi and et. al., 2018). In this research study area is
related with a business plan about diet food restaurant in Malta. Thus, for providing assistance to
this work qualitative investigation will be appropriate because it will provide guidance to
investigator and help them in conducting investigation within effective manner.
Research Philosophy – It is one of the most essential aspect of research because it is
based on facts as well as figures which are important to be consider while conducting
investigation of an exploration study within applicable manner. Research philosophy is divided
within two parts i.e., interpritivism and positivism research philosophy. This research is related
to business plan about diet food restaurant in Malta. In relation of respective research
interpritivism philosophy will be appropriate because it will help in analysing actual views as
well as opinion of people (Malta and et. al., 2018). Respective research philosophy method rely
on relevant and appropriate information or facts so within this there is less chances of
negligence.
Research Approach – It is related to process as well as plan that will help in exploring
descriptive methods of analysing, interpretation as well as information accumulation. Research
approach is classified within two part i.e., inductive and deductive. Within this research report
inductive research approach has been selected by researcher as it have most suitable aspects for
qualitative research (Masson and Copperstone, 2019). Along with this inductive research
philosophy will be effective in conducting detail reading related to secondary information for
driving themes, concepts as well as models in relation of research and fr understanding its
concept i.e., business plan about diet food restaurant in Malta. For qualitative research, inductive
approach is more suitable and also effective for building link within research objectives as well
as outcomes by fresh information.
Research Design – In investigation, research design is legislative action that work as an
project specification within that activities are applied according to priorities which simply means
that research design provide assistance for selected topic in effective manner. In addition to this,
research design is based on experimental, exploratory and descriptive research design (Schnettler
and et. al., 2018). This research is related to business plan about diet food restaurant in Malta, for
this descriptive research design will be appropriate. Furthermore, respective research design
approach based on qualitative investigation as well as help in providing elaborated evaluation on

chosen area through explaining its characteristics. In addition to this, descriptive research design
is also suited because it will assist in conducting descriptive analysis with the assistance of
