There are mainly two method which are related to interpretative and positivism
approach. These two method of philosophies are basically helpful for considering different
approaches and make some advantages which are essential to work and make a progress to
work with the adoptive changes. Positivism approach are related to effective growth of pre-
existing strategies which are related to work and make some appropriate research methods. It
could be basically helpful for considering approach and make effective growth to analysis the
outcome and make more essential approaches (García‐Sánchez, Gallego‐Álvarez and Zafra‐
Gómez, 2021). Further, interpretative philosophies are related to their own growth and
scientific approaches. It would be related to make different growth and make different aspect.
Moreover, the major changes and growth are helpful for considering approaches and make
sustainable factors to work and provide relevant sources. It will be helpful for managing
success and make some effective growth with the market approaches.
Research approach
There are different aspect which are related to deductive and inductive approaches
which are helpful for considering right philosophies and provide some effective growth. It
will be helpful for considering approaches to work and make different approaches to analysis
appropriate to work and make some major changes to analysis different aspect. This could be
helpful for considering different sector and make a valuable outcome from deductive
approaches. This approach is used and make some effective sources which are related to

work and provide some effective growth to work. Deductive approach are helpful for
considering different sector and make a pre-established research and make an outcome. To
provide some appropriate suggestion and their basic growth in research outcome
(Kagermann, Kinney and Küting, 2021). Further, inductive approach is helpful to address and
make some suggest different sector and make growth to work within the approaches. It is
related to work and manage the outcome with new interpretation approach.
Research strategies
There are different type of research strategies which are helpful for make the possible
outcome and make an appropriate way to consider the approach in an authorised way. It will
be helpful for make a sustainable activities which are make possible outcome to consider.
There are basically qualitative and quantitative approaches which are considered for the
growth and possible outcome of the research topic (Kislyakov and et.al., 2021). Here, to

Research methods
After analysing the quantitative and qualitative survey, different method are used
which are related to primary and secondary source of data collection. Researcher used both
type of research method which include primary and secondary source of data. This could be
helpful for considering approaches which make effective growth of business activities.
Survey, questionnaire method are used to conduct primary research (Kumar and Sadarangani,
2021). Whereas for secondary, online books, data, journals magazine are considered. Further
the chosen sample size for completing the adventure of research method are 40.
Data collection methods
This is the very important and almost last phase of the research methodology where all
the techniques and procedure are needed to be discussed through the conceptual background.
There are different data collection method are available which can be used and make some
appropriate research within the conceptual background. It will be helpful for make some
appropriate research outcome and make sure for addressing effective changes which are
related to data collection tools some of them are described below:

 Interview: This is a qualitative method tool which are helpful for gaining the small
scale research within the organisation (Lin, Ok and Ching Au, 2021). The major
advantage of this research method is it will be helpful in provide accurate screening,
capture the emotion, related to motivational and addition unstructured question.
Further, some disadvantage for this method is it is time consuming and high cost
required for completion of this process.
 Survey and questionnaire: This is related to open and close ended questionnaire and
required for the large amount of population. Some of the major advantage for
conducting this research method is t is easy of data collection, online survey can be
possible in the tough time of covid-19, low price and it is very easy to analysis the
data method. Some disadvantage for conducting this research is applicable for survey
fraud, time consuming and can’t capture the emotion like interview.
 Focus group: This is a conversation in-between the group and their major advantage
for using this method is easy to measure, can ask question face to face, and provide
the power of brainstorming and many more. Further, some disadvantages are high
cost, bias nature, and can be time consuming process. Which are not adequate for the
analysing a quantitative research methodology.
Except these sources there are many more sources are used which are related to their
own progress and measurement of data collection. Further, all of these are related to make
some major changes which are helpful for considering approaches (Qin, Peak and Prybutok,
2021). For the completion of research, questionnaire and survey method are used by the
researcher as it will be helpful for conducting right analyse and make effective outcome.

make some effective source and provide relevant outcome for the consideration approaches.
Data analysis is the process which are needed to be considered and make all the method in an
ethical and logical manner. Further, the data is used and make some appropriate changes
which are needed to be analysis and make some effective growth and make data integrity
approach to the company and their basic analysis. This is step where a researcher to make
data analysis to summarize the behaviour and make a collection of data.
All of the method which are related to positivism approach, deductive method and use of
quantitative approach is related and helpful for considering effective approach and Data

outcome (RM and Sivakumaran, 2021). Some of the effective source and their possibilities
are helpful for managing and growing the need to analysis the data and make some effective
growth. The primary source of method are collected through questionnaire and it will be
represented through charts, graph and a basic interpretation of the charts. Further secondary
research is conducted through literature review concept and make sure to analysis the
outcome and work as per the data management within the process and their variable outcome.
Ethical issues
Ethical issues are the topic which are needed to be work and make some major
changes that make some effective outcome and growth within the research. While conducting
research, this must be considered that all the proposal, forms and data collection process are
needed to be done with ethical consideration approaches (Yang and et.al., 2021). Further,
some major issues and their possible outcome are needed to be analysis and make some
appropriate changes to work with honesty and integrity, having openness, make confidential
approach and make a legality segment which are related to primary resource respondent’s
consent form. Further, by following data protection act and make some major changes which
are needed to be work and make effective changes.

This is very important source for conducting the research, as the chosen topic and
essential nature are beneficial for the growth of the company and it will be helpful for
considering different approach and make the high progress within the research proposal. It is
useful for conducting the outcome and make sure for the quality of the research (Ung, 2021).
Right method have been used to complete the research and make some appropriate changes
which are helpful for the use of effective techniques and test which are conducted within the
research methods. Reliability is related to consistency of the project which are related to work
on time and validity is related to accuracy of the project which means achieved outcome or
objective.
Limitation of the research
During the research, there are different failure or falls have been face by the
researcher, which needed to be overcome in next research. Some of the major limitation
which are face during conducting this research proposal is choosing right topic which are
related to present time business issues and make some effective outcome which are helpful
for conducting appropriate major and changes (Rodgers, Anthony and Cudney, 2021).

Further, conducting primary research is the second major limitation of the project. Hence, it
can be stated that using appropriate method is the right way and pre- conducted studies for
the research can be helpful to overcome the research limitation and conduct more effective
and resourceful research.
