research and managing the activities. It is crucial aspect of the onion framework's research
since it offers three options: mono method, mix method, and multi method. The researcher
would use the mono method to achieve the current study objectives since it aids in the
collecting of quantitative data that is required by the current inquiry.
Sampling
