Executive Summary
Methodology
In order to carry out this research, various methods of data collection were used. These
methods included observation and an interview.
Interview is the verbal conversation between two people with the objective of collecting
relevant information for the purpose of research. The reason the researcher chose to use
interview as a data-gathering tool is due to the fact that it provides a more hands on feel than
questionnaire because you can see the persons face when theyre responding. Advantages of
using interviews include, In depth analysis, through planed interviews detailed information can
be collected which enables proper analysis of a problem. Also, It is time saving, Interview can
help to save time to select the best suitable candidate. Within a very short time communication
can be accomplished with the interview. A telephone interview was conducted with the president
of the organization along with a face-to-face interview.
The term observation can be defined as the action or process of closely observing or monitoring
something or someone. The observation at the organization was carried out over a one-day
period, which was the day the interview was carried out. This method was chosen to use as a data
collection method because of the fact that more honest responses can be received when a person
does not know that they are being observed. Advantages of using observation include the fact
that Data collected is very accurate in nature and also very reliable, also observation Helps in
understanding verbal responses more efficiently. One limitation in using the telephone interview
method was the fact that the respondent was speaking too fast and the researcher was not able to
fully understand what was being said and also the researcher was not able to record all the
information.
The researcher also encountered overall problems in carrying out the research. These
problems included the fact that the researcher did not get to visit the site on the set date as a
result of the examinations which took place in January. Also, another problem encountered in
carrying out the research was the 2016 General Election which caused the president of the
organization to be very busy due to the fact that the organization were busy providing vehicles so
there was no member of the organization readily available to speak to and conduct the interview
with.
Recommendations
After careful observation, the researcher would like to make a few recommendations as it
relates to fixing the problem. One recommendation the researcher would like to make is that the
organization starts to recycle.
