This will also help in ensuring the interviews with certain set of questions. The comparisons are based on the different types of the SMEs which is set with the aggregation with obtained answers.

The questionnaires are then sent to the respondents through the email addresses where the others are working on delivering the data by the research assistance.

This tend to offer the information concerning the effects which are related to the independent variables.
The reliability is depending upon the mixed methods where the research is mainly associated to work on the validity and the reliability standards (Modarress et al, 2016). Here, the primary data is to highlight the validity setup and how the reliability is conducted to find out the results which can be reproducible.

The research is about the methodology which aims to focus on the long-term plans and the efforts. The research needs to focus on the collection of the data with the answering of information for different set of research questions. Here, the sources are depending upon how one is confident about the research findings and they are likely to help in obtaining the data which is not collaborative. The possibility is of the transparency of the results where the respondents works on considering the research with sound business enterprises (Gurung et al., 2017). The respondents who are out of reach will be sent the questionnaires where there is a possibility of biasing in terms of the ability to read, write or make use of internet.
