RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
Research methodology is consider as a framework which support an investigator in
choosing best appropriate method for performing investigation in term of its data gathering,
presentation, analysis etc. This help in providing guidance to the researcher about what action
that it must undertake for performing the study in more effective manner (Scotland, 2012).
Different set of methods that can be taken into consideration for present investigation are
mentioned below:
Type of investigation:- For the success of a study it become crucial for the investigator
to choose right method of research. These methods can be either qualitative or quantitative with
the help of which the investigator make gather the information. In order to perform this
investigation effectively, researcher will make use of quantitative method as it support in
gathering the quantified data about a particular event which ensures accuracy of information

presented. This will save time in activities and support the researcher in getting valid outcome
through systematic manner.
Research approach: The analysis of information plays a significant role in brining the
most positive outcome through the study. For this researcher is required to choose best approach
suitable for the study among either inductive or deductive approach (Silverman, 2016). From
these two deductive approaches would be more suitable as it is affiliated with quantitative
method and support in analysing the quantified data much effectively si that appropriate outcome
can be presented.
Research philosophy: - The set of beliefs or assumption that actually get developed by
investigator while performing the research in more systematic manner. The research philosophies
are mainly of two type such as Interpretivism and positivism. To perform this study positivism
research philosophies will be taken into consideration as this will remain highly supportive in
extracting the final outcome as per the overall collected information on proposed research topic
(Tuohy and et. al., 2013).
Research strategy- The investigator uses several different strategies for performing the
investigation in more effective manner. There are number of strategies that get used within an
investigation such as study, survey, observation, questionnaire, interview and many others. In
present study, investigator adopt questionnaire as its main strategy for collecting the information
from respondents in less possible time period.
Data collection- Researcher make use of several different methods for collecting required
data regarding a particular area of study. The data within an investigation can be collected from
two major sources i.e. either primary or secondary sources. For performing current study on
talent management both the sources will be used (Walliman, 2017). In this primary information
will be collected with the help of questionnaire from the employees as they have thorough
understanding regarding talent management within the organisation. On the other side secondary
information will be gathered from the already published sources such as online articles, books,
journals. In order to find evidence regarding particular area of study.
Sampling- This is consider to be a process of selecting group of people from the whole
population for gathering information about area of study. This sample size support in collecting
the primary information for study. The sample size is selected with the help of either probability
and non-probability method. In context of current study non probability method will be used by
