 Introduction
The topic chosen for the study’s completion is based on the role of corporate governance and the
influence that it creates on the performance of the company. Specifically, the industry focus has been
created for this study where the analysis of different companies without mentioning the name of any
specific company will be mentioned for having an overall understanding of the situations existing in
the Pakistani marketplace. While researching the specific topic of corporate governance, I come to
know about this research topic and researching the Pakistani industry is related to my own choice so
that I can contribute towards the growth and development of the Pakistani economy as well.

 Introduction
Corporate governance, and how it affects how well a company runs its business, is one of the most
important topics for empirical and theoretical research in the field of business. Over the past several
decades, corporate governance has garnered a great deal of interest and evolved into a very useful
tool. Recent global financial crises, the rapid expansion of privatizations, and the growth of financial
institutions have all contributed to the enhancement of corporate governance procedures. The
integrity of the administration of a company's corporate governance systems is one of the most
essential factors in determining its overall success.

 Introduction
Strong corporate governance can help a company in many ways, such as by improving its image,
gaining the trust of its shareholders, and making it less likely that the company will be cheated. To
have effective corporate governance, you must implement several mechanisms, such as internal
control systems and external environments, that promote the growth and efficient operation of the
enterprise as a whole. Good corporate governance aims primarily to enhance the overall efficacy of a
company's fundamental operations.

 Research Approach

The deductive research strategy was selected as the investigation's preferred methodology. The
deductive method consists of the stages of beginning with a theory, developing hypotheses based on
that theory, and then collecting and analyzing evidence to test those hypotheses. It is possible to
combine the inductive and deductive approaches to research in order to gain a more thorough
understanding of the topic under investigation.

Research Proposal 9
 Research Design

The implemented research design is Exploratory Research Design which focused on the
exploration of some new information with the help of the current research topics helpful
in meeting with the needs and requirements of the study. The main purpose of working on
the following research is to explore some new information with the help of current topic
as the research is based on a topic which requires initial level of exploration in the field.

 Data Collection and Sampling

The selected method for data collection is Primary Sources of Data, the first-hand
collection of data collected from the source of existence and no earlier proof of its
existence can be identified. Also, the Mixed Method will be used for data collection
purposes in which the use of both Qualitative and Quantitative Data will be collected by
conducting both the interview and questionnaire helpful in understanding the research
topic appropriately through the study conducted.

 Data Analysis

Thematic Analysis

Along with the quantitative data, it is also important to move with the qualitative data which has been
collected for the completion of research by conducting interviews. So, for the analysis of data collected
with the help of interviews, the use of the Thematic Analysis Method will be made in which the
complete information will be divided into specific themes based on which the completion of the research
paper will be made, findings and discussion will be made to reach a conclusion using a mix of both the
qualitative and quantitative data in the study.
