Appropriate methods and techniques will be applied by the researcher to complete the research in the best possible way (Jonker & Pennink, 2010).  In this section, the research problems are explored by applied the qualitative and quantitative research design methods to collect the appropriate data or information for accomplish the research objectives.

Moreover, mixed method of qualitative and quantitative research design would also help the researcher to gather appropriate data and information regarding the research problems.

The below table presented the Gantt chart and milestones of this study that provide the guidance of the researcher to accomplish the objective of this study:

The milestone expresses the main events of this project plan that provide guidance of the researcher to accomplish the study. The following are the main milestones of this study:

Week 1: Introduction

Week 6: Literature Review

Week 7: Research Methodology

Week 12: Data Collection and Analysis Report

Week 14: Final Business Research (Capstone) Thesis

The overall process of this project would be divided into five milestone points that are the main chapters of this research study (shown in the below diagram). This section justifies and describes all five chapters that provide the guideline related to successfully accomplish of this study.

 

The below section describes the overall process of this research project:

First chapter: Introduction is the first chapter, therefore as per the name indicates this chapter provides the brief introduction of research problems, explains justification or importance of topic, main aim or objectives, research questions or hypotheses, strengths or weaknesses, and ethical considerations related to project plan (Bergh & Ketchen, 2009). This part increases knowledge and understanding of the researcher that would help it to accomplish the research successfully with maintains the credibility and reliability of the outcomes.

Second Chapter: Literature review is the second chapter there researcher presented the views of different authors or scholars on the research topic or problem that is an effective way of gathering the secondary data (Flick, 2015). Then researcher will use the scholars or articles, books or published sources, companies’ official sites or annual reports, and online sites to conduct the literature review.

Chapter Three: Research methodologies and techniques is third chapter that properly justified the selection of the research approach, philosophy, strategy, design, sources or methods of data collections, sample size, and sampling techniques that would apply to complete the study without any problem.
