used by the researcher in order to drive out a suitable conclusion from the research. It helps the
user of research to know the people who are involved in this research and the approaches which
are used to carry out this research. It provides various methods and techniques to complete a
research in reliable and validate manner. Research methodologies are broadly categorised in two
types which is quantitative type of research and qualitative type of research. Both type of
resources are essential to carry out facts and figures for research only difference among both the
research is quantitative research denotes number whereas qualitative research is based on
theoretical aspects. This methodology can be explained with the help of research onion in better
manner which is explained below:
Research philosophy
Research philosophy is a vast concept which deals with the nature development and
source of knowledge in the research. In other words, it helps to understand the authenticity and

on theoretical assumptions that consists of personal observation of a research. In this research
researcher has used positivism research philosophy to collect relevant facts and figures. Help the
researcher to collect factual information get positive outcomes in the research.
Research approach
Research approach is required to plan the complete research in a particular manner stop
there are two types of approaches which is considered as a part of research methodology and
help the researcher to use the data in effective manner. These two approaches are inductive
approach and deductive approach inductive approach is a part of interpretivism that is carried out
person of the nation and theoretical concept whereas deductive approach is utilised to find
