Introduction
The business management project is the management, which includes the controlling and
directing the individual group to accomplish the set project aims and goals on the given time.
The report will be subdivided into three main parts in which the first task will be on the
quantitative approach in which introduction, methodology and recommendation will be given. In
the second task, it will be on the qualitative approach which is as divided as the first task in
which its aim, hypothesis, objectives, strategy, philosophy of research, data analysis techniques
will be discussed on each of these tasks in the context of the management and human resources.
At last the literature review will be evaluated on the quantitative approach in context to human
resource shown in the report.

Task 1: Quantitative approach
Introduction
In this book of academic journals for the business management according to Maylor et al.
(2016), stated that to write this book which not present only you with the required information so
that we can pass the research methods or also carry the particular project of research by making
the appropriate approach. In this book of academic journals for the research methods for the
human resource according to Lyon et al. (2015), state that it will respond the growing interest in
the research on recognizing the trust which is very essentials part for the human resource in the
business (Nardi, 2018). The research for human resource and planning is presented in several
context and forms. The main aim of this is to conduct the research, but this also aims in
providing the effective understanding of the process of research that helps a reader of becoming
the knowledgeable, research that is carried by the others. The institutions and individuals are
undertaking human resource research.
Methodology
The research philosophy will transmit an enlargement of the knowledge along with its chosen
temperament the research philosophy in terms of answering the research questions in an actual
fact. The core regulation for any approach is perceptual/authentic hermeneutics and knowledge
while constantly travelling in opposite directions. The positivism while in the management, will
represent the discipline phenomena by quantifiable observations.
The research question generally derived from the perceptions. As when studying the samples to
respond to such questions in which they act differently from reality. The epistemological
perception temporarily is the method that is used for explaining knowledge in the form of the
theories. The theoretical preconceptions will also provide the opportunities to appraise the range
of the views that is attained by various academic sources, magazines, articles and journals. The
research normally invades the strategy in the business management in which the approaches,
philosophy, resources and time plays a vital role. Therefore, the quantitative strategy is the
method of collecting the data appropriate in context to the management of the business under the
2

deductive approach in which the data is accumulated by survey questionnaire as well as also
acquire the data that is analysed by statistical method (Walliman, 2017).
As the part of the quantitative analysis, the self-made questions by the business related to
management will be further sent to an employee who is working in the business so that to easily
extract the information on bullying, causes, forms which lead to the bullying behaviour. In the
questionnaire, the general questions are asked such as work experiences, job level, age, ethnicity
and gender, and in the second part, the questionnaire is made up of open and closes ended
questions related to relevant topics. The research design is an overall plan in terms of relating the
problems of conceptual research to practical and relevant empirical research.
In human resource journals, the researching methodology of trust is illuminated by the authors
who reflect their own work. Also, such challenges will point a way towards the future
opportunities of the research in such a field (Anderson et al., 2018). It also stated that a
quantitative approach is used for preparing a ground for the large scale validation. This will also
work in another way in which around in a sense in which survey will help in identifying a
mechanism which required lots of investigation. The diversity also has allowed the trust
research, but the lack of replication and convergence is striking. The questionnaire survey is used
to explore all the elements of the research. This is considering as an essential method to answer
accurately to research questions. Both secondary and primary sources can do the data collection
techniques.

Finding and recommendation
It has been identified from the above that by offering the appropriate solution relating the
management of the business there is need to write the /proper plan of the business management,
and there is need to talk about the revenue, prepare for the success, which helps in building the
strong relations among the organization, its employee and customers. This will helps the
business project to gain more productivity and profitability, which well is beneficial for them in
the further (Robinson et al., 2016). In the book of management, the author has suggested having
a better flow in term of using the appropriate methods, techniques and approaches of the research
which will provide the desired output to the business management. Hence in the book of human
resource, the author has suggested that quantitative methods are the best method for collecting
the valuable information and data of the customer and employee who are working in the
organization by using questionnaire and survey and then distributed randomly to them to identify
their opinions and views related to a specific subject.

Task 2: Qualitative approach
Introduction
In the book of human resource, stated that with a depth of the needed information in the
qualitative research it would access to the topic for the extended time period that becomes the
major issue for the business. While the qualitative research, it involves the shorter interviews, as
well as there are many of the methods which are set in the book needed that a respondent
provides their own time. As per to Lyon et al. (2015), explores this in the details which show
how interviews will make the comparisons among researcher relationship and human resources.
While the interviewing has been dominated more qualitative researcher, then there is a huge
range of several other methods too (Lucia et al., 2016). Also, innovative work is there on the
researching of non-linguistic approach in which all the important indicators respond to the
people questions effectively.
In the book of management, stated that research would use in describing the numerous
overlapping and similar activities that are related to the information. Therefore, the research
strategy, research philosophy, research procedures and research design elements are dealt with
together in the field of management to offer maximum credibility in order to decide the findings.
As per to Maylor et al. (2016), stated that in the management field of any case, the efforts and
contribution is made in terms of discovering the several factors which lead in bullying at the
workplace with the special emphasis. The main aim and objectives of this approach are a focus
in describing the individual belief and experiences.
Methodology
The reference framed is formed in people mind due to the preconceptions that repeatedly effect
on the finding of the research either indirectly or directly. Within the context of management,
there are many uncomplicated arguments in order to pick a suitable position as from an excessive
positivism horizon to an extreme interpretivism end. Further research philosophy is classified
broadly into major three categories that are realism or pragmatic, interpretivism and positivism.
The fundamental theme of a book is seen that qualitative research with quantitative research
makes more knowledge contribution to the management. In the book of human resource, it has
5

been stated that the interview is one of the best methods of qualitative method. It provides great
opportunities for the employee working in the organization. Also, the focus group is a commonly
used method of qualitative research that is used for collecting the data and is considered as one
of the expensive methods. The qualitative observation is a research process which uses
subjective methodologies in terms of gathering the data or information systematically. In the
context of management, the author has considered the record keeping method which uses similar
information source and existing document as a main source of data (Smith, 2015). Case study
method also has evolved before recent years and also developed into a qualitative method of
research.
The data analysis of qualitative approaches such as text document, audio recording image, videos
and note are the methods in which the text analysis is the most common and used method. For
analyzing the data the text analysis method is used which are different from qualitative methods
in which the researcher will analyze the respondent’s opinion towards the subject as well as also
decode the actions, words etc. The qualitative data collected the data usually at a sight in which
the respondent is experiencing the problems or issues. It gathers the numerous forms typically
like document, observations and interviews instead on the single source of the data (Silverman,
2016).

Finding and Recommendation
The research which uses the qualitative approach is not because this seems something of being
represented. This usually involves the complex philosophical or theoretical framework. It has
been identified that more research is a need in context to human resource in terms of identifying
the best way for improving their skills and talents, which is effective to overcome the barriers.
Also, research has to explore the different aspect impact of the management culture through
appropriate communication, training, team working and reporting that includes the comparison
among the different groups of staff and improvement identification area which is tested
potentially (Taylor et al., 2015). Hence it has been identified by the author that qualitative
research is not as much effective as compared to quantitative research as it takes more time and
cost which enhance the chances to retain the employee to stay no longer. This method is
effective for the large organization that needs skilled and talented staff in their organization.

Task 3: Literature review
According to Nolan and Garavan (2016), the human resource in the organization is an important
area of gaining productivity. This is the reports which gain the systematic literature review in
order to synthesise the research in a particular area. It offers the relevant suggestions for the
future development of such area of the research in this methodology, content and theory. The
researcher once identified the subject that should and can be studied and analysed in which the
search can start for the selected subject literature. Also, the literature review can accomplish
various purposes. This also shares with a reader in which the other subset results related to
human resource and management is related closely to each other. The studies will need to add
literature body on the topic, subsections ion the proposal, which generally shaped the benefits
and problems of the selected subject, which directly leads in the research methods.
According to Junni et al. (2015), stated that human resource role and the needs of organizational
factors are exploring as due to the fragmented nature of work and lack of the unifying
framework. This will contribute to the literature by highlighting the existing gap in the current
knowledge, which represents the new avenues for future research. In the journal article, the
literature review is the abbreviated form which found in master or dissertation thesis. This
contained typically the subsection which is called related literature as well as also follows the
study introduction. It is a quantitative research pattern in the journals.
According to McCusker and Gunaydin (2015), stated that research is fundamental to
advancement as well as also critical in determining the optimal approaches to the specific
subject. The research needs to evaluate fundamentally in term of determining the most effective
evaluation methods. The quantitative approach is selected for the literature review of the human
resource in this section (Cen et al., 2016). The second form is the literature review in the separate
section, the model that is used typically in the quantitative research that is found often in the
journals with the quantitative orientations.
According to Bryman (2017), stated that quantitative research is efficient, especially of getting
structural features while the qualitative research is usually strong in order of the processual
aspects. It also stated the interest in a different among qualitative and quantitative research that
continues the unabated. The quantitative research includes the substantial literature amount at the
starting of the research, which provides directions to the research hypothesis or questions. This
8

will also be used in introducing the problems as well as also describe the literature section in
details. The literature review also introduces the theory in which appropriate explanation of the
expected relationship which describes the proper theory, which is used in the research. The
researcher at the end revisits literature as well as makes the proper comparison between results
along with the findings in a study.
