Section five: Research approaches and methodology
TESCO is one of the biggest merchant that aims at delivering better service towards the
customers. Tesco is one of the major retailers in the world that has experienced globalization.
However after analyzing the results it has been observed that this globalization was not fruitful
for the organization Tesco. Later on the organization focused on restricting the experiences based
on their needs of market. Tesco has successfully developed a customer’s control system that will
determine the experiences gained by the people. The organization outsources its goods globally
so that people can purchase the products in a great volume. In addition to this the cost related to
the products are being updated frequently that helps in building better project. The benefits that

7RESEARCH PROJECT
are offered with the help of globalization include effective access towards the huge amount of
products that are with cheap costs. In addition to this the globalization will also offer better
economic opportunities towards the poorest people in the world, cultural exchange of ideas and
values, accelerated scientific advancement due to enhanced communication of discoveries
leading to new discoveries and trade dependency makes open conflict (war) between
industrialized nations less likely.
Research methodology plays a crucial role at the time of research study. Thus it becomes
essential to understand the importance of research. There are several methods that are used for
the purpose of understanding the concept related to the globalization. The research project is
going to be conducted on the basic impacts and features that come along with globalization.
Globalization is a process that helps in creating better competitive advantages. This focuses on
growing and expanding the business so that they can achieve better results throughout the world.
Globalization plays a major role as it helps in enhancing the performance of the organization.
However it has been observed that there are several negative impacts that were generated on the
Tesco industry due to ineffective management of the activities. The main aim is to analyse the
impacts that are likely to generate on the organization. The research philosophy that is being
selected in this paper is positivism. Research methodology plays a crucial role and hence it
becomes essential to identify the methodology at early stage of execution. The research
methodology that is used for analysing the impact of globalization on Tesco is done with the help
of quantitative approach. Quantitative approach helps in analysing the activities effectively. The
main features that are offered with quantitative research method are that it uses data from
structured research instruments. The results are mainly described based on the wide range of
population. The four types of quantitative research method are correlation, quasi experimental,

8RESEARCH PROJECT
experimental and descriptive. The main purpose of researching the idea of globalization is to
analyse the impact that is being created on the people with the implementation of this
technology. Quantitative research includes the use of computation, mathematical tools and
statistical values. This helps in developing the results effectively with the help of analysis.
Quantitative research focuses on data collection method and analyses this for further evaluation.
Basically there are two types of research methodologies that are interpretivisim and positivism. .
Positivism is mainly referred fact that includes analysis of significant factors that will help in
analyzing the business performance effectively. On the other hand inductive approach is
considered to be flexible approach that helps in achieving the data for the purpose of conducting
the researches. This approach mainly focuses on accomplishing the quantitative understanding
of nature related to research problem. It is allowed the theory to develop as well as provide
considerations to opinions and concerns related to people in this particular study.
Research is mainly designed for the purpose of helping the way data is analyzed for
managing the tasks. The research paper has also included primary data collection method for the
purpose of analyzing the data. This helps in sorting the data from true findings. There are several
options that are offered with primary data collection method. This mainly includes interviews,
questionnaires, observation method and schedule method. The method that is selected for the
purpose of gathering the primary data is questionnaire. In order to analyze the impact of
globalization questionnaire is being prepared based on which analysis is being done. The main
reason behind choosing questionnaire is that it helps in analyzing a set of questions within short
time interval. The data that are gathered directly by the researcher for the first time is known
as Primary Data. It is original in nature and is specific to a research problem under study.
Questionnaire is the one of the most significant method that is used for data collection,

9RESEARCH PROJECT
which is comprised of a set of questions related to the research problem. This method is
considered to be the most convenient in the situation when the data are collected from a wide
range of people. The result that gets generated is anonymous and in a wide range. This focuses
entirely on preparing set of questions that will be either open-ended or closed-ended, which the
respondents are required to answer on the basis of their knowledge and experience with the issue
concerned. Questionnaire will ensure proper analysis of the data. The research proposal has
reviewed the results from 50 respondents so that it becomes easy to analyse the results.
Research limitations
While developing a research proposal several limitations are faced that has the potential to
impact the overall performance of the research. The research helps in gaining accurate results
however there is a high need to complete the research within the given time so that they can have
better control over the data. The different types of research limitations that are likely to be faced
while executing the project are described below:
1. Reliability: while developing research it becomes essential to rely on the raw data for the
purpose of analysis. The respondents that are selected are mainly based on the organization and
are mainly the staffs. This has the potential to impact the results of survey made. The method
that is being used in analysing the data is primary data collection method.
2. Time constraint: time plays a crucial role and thus in order to make a conclusion it becomes
essential to analyse the data effectively so that it can be used effectively for the purpose of
understanding the functioning of Tesco. Globalization is one of the major factors that need to be
analysed without any problem. The primary data collection requires much more time as
compared to other methods. The time period for the survey was less and hence the survey was
conducted only based on the employees associated with Tesco.

10RESEARCH PROJECT
3. Lack of budget: the project is carried out on certain amount of budget so that they can achieve
the target within the given data. With a proper budget, the researcher will be able to determine
the limited time that is needed for the analysis of the budget. The organization has identified the
factors impact the outsourcing on business performance. Thus it can be stated that with proper
analysis and budget the research can be carried out effectively.
Thus after analysing all the results it can be stated that globalization will help in ensuring better
performance of the organization. The major benefits that are offered with globalization towards
the organization are that it offers better support towards the revenue. Outsourcing is the main
factor that helps in increasing the revenue of the organization. Moreover it has been observed
that with time the challenges can be mitigated effectively. There are various factors which lead to
play a key role into taking of decisions like quality, cost as well as other factors. Thus it can be
stated that with the help of this research proposal it will become easy to manage the activities
that takes place within the organization.
