help know to analyse the importance of talent methodology.
Research type: qualitative and quantitative
There are two types to researches, qualitative and quantitative. Qualitative research
methods focus on meaning and words while the quantitative method focus on the statistics and
numericals. This report will choose qualitative method to conduct this research project.
Research approach: Deductive and inductive
There are plans which helps to collect the data, analyse and interpretation of the data.
There are two kinds of approaches which are Deductive and inductive. Descriptive research
gather information without controlling any variables, while inductive approach concerned with
theories to collect data and their aim is to generate fresh theory settled information. This project
will choose inductive method.
Research strategy: Descriptive
Research strategy is the systematic plan which provide directions to the thoughts and
enable writer to doing research. Descriptive method is type of research strategy which is
utilised to describe characteristics of the population which being studied.
Data collection: Primary and secondary
There are two type of information collection which are primary and secondary method.
In the primary method data researchers collect data from first had sourced while secondary

researchers' information refers to the data collected by someone else other than the user (Wiek
and Lang., 2016). This report will choose primary data collection method.
Sampling: Random sampling- 30 employees
Sampling is the procedure which is used in the statistical analyses in which a preset
numbers of observations are interpreted from the bigger group population. This report will use
random sampling method and select 30 employees to conduct this research project.
Literature review:
Literature review is the study of the other secondary sources such as articles, theses and
books which is related to a specific topic or the research questions.

P2- Research methods and approaches to primary and secondary research.
There are two kind to researches methods which are used by researchers, qualitative and
quantitative (Abutabenjeh and Jaradat., 2018). Qualitative research methods focus on meaning
and words while the quantitative method focus on the statistics and numericals. This both
research methods will help researchers to complete this project on the Talent engagement on
Hotel Four seasons-
Qualitative researches
Qualitative researches are defined as a research methods which totally focus on
obtaining informative data from the open-ended colloquial communication. This method is not
just about what people believe about but it is also about why people believe. Interviews are the
speech based research where questions are used to ask to get info from the others. Interviews are
atypically structured to meet the researchers objectives.
Proes - Qualitative approaches to investigation are not bound by the limitations of quantitative
methods. If participants don’t fit the researcher’s belief that’s equally helpful qualitative data to
add context and possibly explain something which Numbers alone are ineffectual to show.
Cons- size of the sample can be a big issue for the researcher (Ardrey and et.al., 2016). If
researcher seek to reason from sample of , for example 200 employees which are based on
sample of the only 5 workers . This will rise the question of the researchers that will this
method will provide true abjuration of position of the remaining 97 percent of the company.
Quantitative method
Quantitative researches utilize computational, mathematical and statistical to produce the
right result. This methods create a decisiveness to the purpose to state studied as it quantified
difficulty to realism how prevailing they are (Ardrey and et.al., 2016).
Pros- Qualitative researches involves survey , real time gathering, experiments. There are few
delays in the collection of the data and metrical to examine the researches. This means
