Research Methodology
What are the advantages and disadvantages of the methodologies implemented in these
studies?
Article 1: Managing the human resource in Indian SMEs: The role of indigenous
realities
This study is emphasized on managing the human resource in Indian SMEs. In this study, the
researcher has used quantitative method has been practiced by the study in which pilot
method and survey through questionnaire method as it facilitates to get reliable information
about the research matter. The primary benefit of the pilot method is that it facilitates to the
investigator to eliminate the unnecessary questionnaire from the research. It could increase
the reliability of the resulting outcome. Regression method is also practiced by the
investigator to evaluate the questionnaire and offer an opportunity to evaluate the relationship
between a human resource and Indian SMEs performance. Apart from this, this method is
quite costly and time-consuming as it could negatively impact on the overall outcome of the
study (Saini and Budhwar, 2008).
Article 2: The relationship between human resource management practices and
organizational commitment: A field study
This study is emphasized in evaluating the relationship between human resource management
practices and organizational commitment. For completing this aim, the investigators have
selected interview method and collect the opinion of the select research participants towards
the research dilemma. The interview method offers an opportunity to directly obtaining the
responses and make a feasible result. This method could be costly as compared to the
secondary data collection method hence it could negatively influence the overall outcome of
the study. The researcher will use the SPSS Method for increasing the reliability of the study
and make a reliable conclusion (Şendoğdu, Kocabacak, and Güven, 2013).

Which of these could (or could not) be used for your research and why?
For conducting my study, I will use the mixed research design that entails two methods like
qualitative and quantitative method. The main reason for selecting this method is to get the
advantages of both qualitative and quantitative method and eliminate the possibilities of
disadvantages of these methods in the study. From the implication of this method, I will be
capable to get the statistical and non-statistical method that could be effective in getting a
reliable outcome. For evaluating the collected data, I will use the MS-EXCEL software and
SPSS and reach a reliable conclusion. Thus, it can be evaluated that the mixed research
design method will be more effective as compared to others method.
What could be your feasibility concerns in any case?
The feasibility study is an evaluation practiced in evaluating the capability and likelihood to
attain the project effectively considering the relevant component. It could might responsible
for the components, which influence economic, legal, scheduling, and technological factor.
The researcher will evaluate the feasibility studies to identify the potential negative and
positive result of the project before discovering the feasible amount of cost and time.
