Quantitative research can be defined as the research that deals with statistics and
numbers. The data that is collected by the researcher during a quantitative research can be
expressed in the form of graphs, tables and numbers. This type of research is generally carried
out in order to test certain assumptions and theories. Data collection involves techniques that are
semi structured like interviews or group discussions. This type of research helps in developing an
initial understanding of a topic.

numbers and describes concepts, observations and characteristics. Qualitative research focuses
more on solving complex problems and breaking them down into simpler and easy to understand
form that can be interpreted by the researcher easily ( Meynerts-Stiller and Rohloff, 2019. ).

Examples of the qualitative research include face to face interviews etc.

cost as well as time effective when it comes to collecting data and analysing it. The results of a
secondary research take into account a wide area of issues but since the data is not first hand,

there can be cases when the results can be wrong. A researcher can refer to journals, reports etc.
that were done earlier in order to use the the data and results that are provided in the same.

group of people that is picked out of a large population people. Sampling a very popular
technique that is used be researchers across the globe to collect data that is required in their
research. Sampling can be divided into two categories, namely – probability and non-probability
sampling. Examples of probability sampling are random, cluster, stratified and systematic
sampling whereas judgemental, convenience, quota and snowball sampling can be counted under
non-probability sampling.
Questionnaire -
A questionnaire can be referred to as a tool that is used in researches and comprises of
various questions that address the a specific problem and the results of a questionnaire can be
used after analysing them ( Pearlson and Saunders, 2019. ). Questionnaires are an economical
as well as an easy way of collection of data that help in collecting data from a large number of
