based on inanimate instruments like scales, surveys, questionnaires, tests, computers and so on.
In respect of respective research project manager is using qualitative method for
gathering information because through it they able to gather more authenticate as well as reliable
information related topic.
Primary method – It is also known as the first hand information because it is gathered by
researcher by them. It is time taking as well as expensive method because in this project manager
need to travel increase expenses and they also need to interact with every candidates for
gathering information which is time taking (Merced and et.al., 2020). But it is also considered as
most authenticate as well as reliable method for gathering information related to the research
topic.
