RESEARCH METHODOLOGY 2
Research Design
The study would deploy the use of secondary research strategies, which involves the
collection of data from secondary sources (Bell, Bryman, & Harley, 2018). The secondary
research design would be advantageous in that the wide range of existing sources would enable
the research to make references and comparison between the different sources inclined to the
topic of study. Concisely, the use of the secondary materials would provide insightful meaning to
the topic of research within a minimal time due to their availability. The method was selected
over the primary design since it is based on evidence of the existing findings from other studies.
Additionally, the records found from different telecommunication organizations and firms would
enable the research to have adequate samples of data, which would depict many variables such as
the trends in performances and the changes brought by the wireless LAN. Other variables would
include the challenges faced in the implementation of wireless LAN among the employees and
the comparison of the technology with the previous systems among others.
Data collection method
The suitable methods of data collection would be the systematic sampling of the existing
secondary sources. The research would apply for systematic literature review through the
application of appropriate inclusion and exclusion criteria to come up with the relevant
secondary sources. The selection criteria would use the relevance of the titles and abstract
abstracts of different articles that are pertinent to the wireless LAN study topic. The electronic
search would be conducted in various websites and databases such as CISCO, CCNA and CNET
among others that would be relied upon for suitable research study. Moreover, the research
would depend upon the reports from different organisations concerning the use of the wireless
LAN technology or the telecom companies that provide the services to the companies.
