4.3.1 Mixed Methods There are various different research strategies with distinctive characteristics available from which a researcher may select, based on the previous criteria. Yin (2003) and Saunders et al. (2009) recognized that granting numerous research strategies occur, there are great commonalities amongst them and henceforth the significant contemplation would be to choose the greatest useful strategy for a particular research study. Some of the typical research approaches used in business

While selecting the sample for the interviews, there were two major sets of decisions that had to be made at the outset: (1) deciding on who to interview, and (2) what questions to ask. In regards to selecting the sample, since this question was set out in order to see the connection of internal and external influences in students making decisions in university, it only seemed appropriate that the interview sample consisted of university students. As such, university students were considered the

Traditional techniques for sampling and estimating population characteristics require that sample selection is done with a known probability. However, for a hard to reach population this is impossible. There is no list or registry from which to create a sampling frame or if there is a list, a random sampling can yield low number of eligible respondents since it’s often non-representative of the intended target population.1 In addition, it can be extremely difficult to locate members of this population

lag, i.e. 1 m (n=1), no less than 10 m apart (n=3), no less than 10 m but no more than 100 m apart (n=6) and no less than 100 m apart, but no more than 1000 m apart (n=12), resulting in 22 samples within each site, defined by marked quadrats. By calculating the mean distance (i.e. lag in m) between the samples at each scale, we made lag a continuous variable. We extensively sampled the benthic fauna associated with each quadrat using sediment cores, and fyke nets to catch larger mobile species such

STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM Service organizations play a crucial role in any country. In our country, it is the backbone of our economy in terms of creation of employment potential and contribution to the National income. The study of Quality of Working life has been an important and critical area in management and organizational performance from last several years especially in the LIC. Work is an integral part of our everyday life, as it is our livelihood or career or business. On an average

Chapter -1 Introduction Introduction About the internship: These grants are designed to provide students participating in field experience to share knowledge and also the opportunity to experience the relationship between the academic background of the student and his field work also to help participants who have participated in the major research project, which will enrich your experience practices. The 10-week internship was conducted during the fourth semester f MBA, because it serves the purposes

Implications Theoretically, there is dearth of literature addressing the impact of guided reflection on self-care behavior. To date, only one study within the heart failure population has combined the theory of self-care of chronic illness and Gibbs’ reflective cycle framework to evaluate the impact of guided reflection on self-care behaviors (Sethares & Asselin, 2017). Importantly, this study is the first to combine the two frameworks within the DM population. Based on statistical analyses and qualitative

BUSINESS RESEARCH METHODS Introduction This research seeks to establish the relationship between entrepreneurship and the economic development in Saudi Arabia. Entrepreneurship is the process of managing, organizing and developing a business venture in a competitive environment that is dynamic (Kuratko 2016 pp3). An entrepreneur is an inventor, leader, innovator, and pioneer and most significantly, a performer. The heart of a national advantage is often pegged on entrepreneurship. The operation

Research and Design This study will use a true experimental design because it allows the researcher to exercise better control over research variables. This design ultimately strengthens the inference of causality. To prove with confidence that changes in the dependent variable were caused by the independent variable rather than sampling error, the research design must meet three criteria (Nieswiadomy, 2012). The three criteria are: 1) the researcher manipulates the experimental variable; 2)

obtained information from official criminal histories, interviews from offenders and law enforcement records (Hargreaves-Cormany & Patterson, 2016, p. 34). Sample When looking for a sample for a research project one must be sure that it is going to provide us with the answers to the questions we are looking to answer and it represents the sample that was in mind (Yegidis et al., 2012, p. 210). In the sex trafficking study, the researchers had obtained their participants by selecting 179 survivors of
