INTRODUCTION
Reflection in academic writing is designed in order to help the individual to express their
thoughts about a particular experience. The respective report is a reflection based on conducting
a research as well as learnings during the MBA program. There is also a description of the
different barriers as well as professional development.
MAIN BODY
Research methods and Processes
The research that was undertaken, was based on the topic “To prepare a business
development plan for opening a herbal salon in Birmingham, UK.” The rationale behind
choosing this topic was to increase awareness among people regarding their well-being. This is
because the demand for grooming services among people is increasing because they are
becoming more and more conscious about their skin (Cahusac de Caux and et.al., 2017). Due to
this, there has been an increase in demand for various salon services. Furthermore, the customers
are also increasingly gaining interest in herbal products that are gentle on the skin and do not
cause any side effects. The research method chosen in order to complete this research is
qualitative research. This will help the researcher in obtaining improved results for the selected
research topic. Not only this, a qualitative research will also contribute to the overall
development of the Major Project. In order to describe this to a future employer or a reader of the
major project, I would brief them about the topic of the research as well as the rationale behind
undertaking the research. Also, inductive analysis has been used to analyze the data. This will
help them in developing an understanding about the research as well as the results of the same in
an efficient manner.
Literature and Sources
The most important sources of literature that are referred to in case of this project are
both primary as well as secondary in order to collect data. There are different primary as well as
secondary methods that can be used by a researcher for the collection of data. For example,
primary data can be collected through interviews, questionnaire, by visiting a specific location or
focus groups. On the other hand, different methods from which secondary information can be
gathered include journals, books and online websites (Chenboonthai and Watanabe, 2019). The
