Research Methodology
Research methodology is a popular term. When methods of data collection and data
analysis shows the set of research methods, researcher have to explain a extent of extra elements
within the scope of research.
Research philosophy: It means the assumptions about the sources of information and the nature
of information. Because all types of research and projects are base on any type of hypothesis. In
the other word, research philosophy means, a kind of belief and trust that how data is collected
and how it will evaluate and use. Research philosophy is three types i.e.: Positive ISM, Realism
and Interpretivism (Mackey and Gass, 2015). For this research projects will use Interpretivism
research philosophy. Because it is based on small samples and investigation. And, in this
research will also collect data from the company employees and collect information on the
investigation bases.
Types of Research: The methods of research is also depend on types of research according to
the main object of the study. Research as basically two types first one is Qualitative research and
the second one is Quantitative research. For this research project will use qualitative research
method. Because qualitative research is includes theory, non- numerical data and also applies
reasoning (Bresler and Stake, 2017). The main object of this qualitative research is get the exact
conclusion of research project. Qualitative data and information are based on exploratory and

this collected information can not be graphed. For this research will choose this method of
research because will collected the primary data and this data is form of theory and words.
Research Approach: This is the significant factor of research methodology because it is directly
impacted the superior of special research methods. The research methods are three types i.e.:
Inductive, Deductive and the Abductive (Silverman, 2016). For this research will design the
research questions and that's why this research is base on the inductive research method. This
approach of research is begin with the various types of observations and theories. For the
inductive research will firstly design the question and then collect specific data for solve these
questions. With the help of this Inductive research will find out what are the outcomes of this
research.
Research Design: Research design give a background about how to conduct research. For
design the research it is provided appropriate framework and techniques. With the help of

because it will help the researcher to find out that collected data is real and authentic. Data
analysis is also divided into two segmentations i.e.: Thematic and Statistical data analysis. For

this research project will use Thematic data analysis method because, because in this research

choose thematic analysis because for this research will collect data from the employees of Tesco
