P4 Research Methodology
Research type
A research type is a procedure which is executed in process of data collection, analysis
and interpretation for any business problem. There are two kinds of research type mainly adopted
by researcher are qualitative research and qualitative research. The qualitative research is
concerned with image, language, colour. Etc (Masanet, 2017). while quantitative research
focuses the research on numbers. This research can be expressed in numerical terms. The
researcher will adopt both researches to generate the outcomes on employees international
requirements.
Research approach
It is a plan which involves decisions which are taken for data analysis, interpretation and
collection. The research approach are broadly divided as of three types. Qualitative research
approach, Qualitative research approach and mixed research approach. The qualitative research
approach is for comprehending the human or social problem. The general themes are involved in
research process whereas Quantitative research approach is based on testing the theories for
examining relationship within variables (Trembath, 2016). These are measured in numeric terms.
Then comes mixed method of research. This approach involves collecting both qualitative and
quantitative data for overcoming the problem of research. In this research, the researcher will use
mixed approach by adopting this research the researcher will able to gain a complete
understanding of problem of research that by adopting approaches alone.

Research philosophy
A research philosophy mainly deals in nature, development and source of knowledge. It
is a belief in which the data about a given phenomenon of research is collected, utilized and
analysed properly. The research philosophy is further divided into positivism, pragmatism,
interpretivism and realism. Positivism research philosophy is concerned with quantitative
method in which questionnaire, statistics and social survey is generally conducted while the
pragmatism research philosophy is related to political, historical and social context under which
the inquiry starts with social justice and ethics (Egeberg, Gornitzka, and Trondal, 2017). It is a
combination of interpretivism and positivism which lay a scope for single research according to
questions of research. The another type of philosophy is interpretivism in which it is more
focused on qualitative research. The methods under this is based on interview, observations, etc.
The human actions are recorded and analysed under this philosophy. Then comes realism is
relies on independence for the reality from the human mind. The researcher will operate
interpretivism and positivism research philosophy because it is the best method to determine
societal and individual relationship by the use of this method in the research for generating the
results of this research problem.
Sampling
Sampling is a process in which from the whole interested population some sample units
are identified. The sampling in research are of two types probability and non probability
sampling. The probability sampling is a method in which random sample units from the whole
population have offered equal opportunities to get selected whereas the non probability sampling
method is that the sampled has non offer equal selection opportunity (Crow, and Whiteman,
2016). The researcher in this research will apply simple random probability sampling to select 30
mangers of nestle for evaluating the outcomes of problem of research.
Data collection
The data collection is getting accurate insight of measuring, analysing and collecting
research by adopting standard technique. Data collection can be obtained in two types. They are
primary and secondary. The primary source of collection is collecting of data originally during

the research. Such as collection from legal document, raw data, diary, personal observation, etc.
While secondary source is collected from already published books, journals, articles, etc. The
researcher in this research will use both primary and secondary data. For primary data collection
questionnaire from respondents in form of open ended and close ended both will adopt.
Data analysis
It is a process in which the data by using statistics and analytical tools discover essential
information which further provide access in accomplishing the decision making. The two types
of method of data analysis are qualitative and quantitative data analysis. The qualitative data
analysis involves evaluation of pattern in analysing them to attain research objectives
(Walaszek, 2017). On the other hand, quantitative data analysis is analysis of figures and
numbers for establishing a rationale behind problem of research. The research will adopt both
data analysis method as the common patterns and controversies are analysed for meeting the
international requirements of employees of Nestle.
