For Quantitative methodology (Survey )

Research Descriptive research design if the title suggests survey study and
design: correlation of trends, characteristics and relationship between two
variables

Or

Experimental / quasi-experimental design in case to associate casual

relationship between two or more variables

Research Quantitative survey strategy

strategy

Research Deductive approach as it justify hypothesis by collecting numerilogical

approach data

Research Positivism philosophy as it rationalises objectives with reality facts

philosophy independent of perceptions with research participants views

Sampling Simple random sampling or non-probability sampling 50-150 sample

method size

Data collection Survey with research participants, formin Google form questionnaire
and collecting data

Data Analysis Statistical methods including normal statistical pie chart interpretation or
SPSS or Correlation regression (Any 1 method should be taken)

Ethical Written consent form should be distributed among participants to

considerations approve their participation with no disclosure of personal information of
participants

Survey Total questions= 20 (If no is not mentioned on mailbody or in research

questionnaire proposal)

or
Ethnographic (If mentioned in proposal)

Research For interview research: Interview-based qualitative strategy

strategy or/
For secondary case studies/literature/systematic secondary data:
qualitative case studies or secondary literature based research strategy
should be selected

interview/secondary data collection will be used to analyse qualitative
strategy of the study

Research Mixed research approaches will be used as inductive approach to justify

approach qualitative data and deductive approach to justify quantitative data

Research Pragmatism approach

Philosophy

Sampling Any specific sampling method for quantitative data collection such as
method non-probability sampling (No sampling will be used for qualitative
except interview method)

Data collection For quantitative data, 20 mcq (Close-ended) questions with a likert
scale option will be prepared in Google Form distributed virtually
among research participants collected through sampling.
 In case of qualitative data collection, different research journals,
articles, company reports and newspaper articles will be collected from
different databases including Google Scholar, Research gate and so on.
An inclusion and exclusion criteria will be developed based on 4 key
parameters i.e. Year, Language, Keywords, and Database type.
Or
Interview method can be done as qualitative approach with sample
size of 7 and a semi-structured questionnaire containing 10 open ended
