An interview is a conversation between two or more people where questions are asked by the interviewer to elicit facts or statements from the interviewee (respondent). Direct face to face interview is needed to know in depth what was actually happen within the company. Interview helps researcher get better comprehension of what is really going.
The interview intend to realize concerns and expectation of management. They know exactly how their business runs and have sufficient knowledge about the business process and management. The interview consists of several questions which will cover the focus of the research.

According to Creswell in his book, Qualitative Inquiry & Research Design, Mixed method approach is one method in which the researcher tends to claim a base knowledge on pragmatic grounds. Using inquiry strategy that involve collecting data either simultaneously or sequentially to get fully understand the fact related research problems. It involves gathering both numeric information and text information so that the final database represent both quantitative and qualitative information. (2003: 18-20).
The data obtained during the the research does not have any meaning if it is not processed, analyzed and presented in a systematic manner. Data analysis in qualitative research is inductive and sustainable. Qualitative data analysis is the process of systematically search for and compile the data obtained from questionnaires, interviews, field notes , and other materials so it is easy to understand in order to be informed as result of study (Sahid, 2011).
Qualitative data is very subjective, therefore, a researcher who uses qualitative data must actually be tried wherever possible to avoid subjective attitude which may blurs the objectivity of the
There are two types of research that can be conducted in research studies, these are qualitative and quantitative (Newman, 2011). Qualitative research is a process that uses detailed oriented methodology that tries to achieve a profound knowledge or understanding of specific incident and circumstance, wh...
In EDU671 the researcher begins selecting data tools to help identify the issue within the organization. Using both qualitative and quantitative data will help find and measure the area of focus. After analyzing the data received, consequently it was determined the organization had a major communication gap between leadership and employees. The qualitative data were used as a formative assessment to gather information on employee communication skills. Once the information was received the quantitative data served as the summative assessment to focus on the implementation of new communication strategies. After receiving both qualitative and quantitative data collection, the researcher can now focus on whether or not the data collected will help answer the research questions in the research action plan. Below is a list of the research questions?
Qualitative data analysis requires a logical approach in order to interpolate data into useful information. Participants, and any further obtainable data that will shed light on the studied phenomenon should base the analysis on the objectives of the study, and the response.
Research methodology, is an understanding of the different approaches used to conduct research. Within research methodology validity and reliability are important. The reason, researchers need to understand the methodology, before research is conducted is to ensure that they are using them correctly and ethically and also understand the key concept
There are debates on why qualitative and quantitative can be combined because the two approaches share the goal of understanding the world in which we live Haase & Myers (1980). However, Reichath &Rallis (1994) argued that the two paradigms are incompatible if the qualitative paradigm assumes that there are no external referents for understanding reality. Howe (1988) suggests that researchers should forge ahead with what works. Quantitative research makes no attempt to have personal relationship with the people being studied and to account of their view. The accounts include feelings, beliefs these being concept of feminist work. Feminism holds on to qualitative method because are interested in how ordinary people observe and describe their Silverman (1993).
Qualitative research is an approach that attempts to situate an activity that locates the observer in the world by providing the study to occur in their natural setting and by attempting to make sense of, or interpret information (Denzin and Lincoln, 2005). A characteristic of qualitative research is to use a variety of empirical materials such as personal experience, interviews, and questionnaires. It is imperative to understand the task at hand and how to fully carry out the study when using a qualitative research approach in order to find out the information needed. One view of qualitative research is it involves examining individual’s experiences and documenting those experiences in detail (Jones, 2011). By documenting these observations the researcher is ensuring validity in his or her data and giving the correct creditability to those who participated in the study.
The data collected will be analysed and interpreted. The summary of the findings, suggestions and the conclusion will be given in the report.
This chapter has covered the introduction and background of the study which it explains the objective of this study. Understand the issues and problem in the problem statement. Research of the study and do the research questions that related with the study. Based on research question, do the research hypothesis and theory framework that includes independent variable and dependent variable. Which it’s also designed in the one section of this chapter. Determining the significant of the study and ended up by limitation of study.
Madhu Bala, 2005 [68]) Qualitative data is often collected by observation, open-ended interviewing and document review. Qualitative data is in detailed description or narrative format. Analysis of qualitative data emphasizes understanding phenomena as they exist, not following pre-determined hypothesis.
In conclusion, this paper looked at the six general tools of research and it also described the methods of how each could be used. These methods may act independent of each other or may work simultaneously with each other. However they may be used, they all act as necessary tools when executing the research process.
It is important that researchers are knowledgeable of the qualitative research methodologies in order to select the most appropriate to investigate their problem of interest, and thereby selecting the most appropriate data collection methods that will aptly produce the richest data for analysis.
After solve all the problem the last method that we have to do is conclusion. We search the information mostly from the internet. Besides that we also find from references book, newspaper and magazine. We have set a questionnaire and distributed to 40 people. We have to do an analysis base on this 40 questionnaire.
Qualitative data analysis is the process of transforming data into information, information into understanding and understanding into knowledge (Davenport & Prusak, 1998). Furthermore, qualitative data analysis can be described as a blend of scientific studies and artistic style to create an innovative product. The research acts as the primary research tool, and must be able to sustain composer throughout the entire study. In addition, the researcher must be able to pay attention to the small details of the study, without losing sight of the big picture of the study (Chenail, 2012).
The Importance and Appropriateness of Utilizing Different Methodologies for Research. Introduction The process of research entails the logical as well as systematic search for useful data and information with regard to a specific topic (Jha, 2008). It is also comprised of the investigation of the best, most cost effective and appropriate solutions to both social and scientific issues, following an objective and logical analysis. Jha, (2008) defines research as the search for knowledge and the discovery of the truth. During this process, the data can be gathered from a wide pool of sources among them interviews, books, nature among others.The data can then be analyzed with the appropriate data analysis tools, so as to report the findings
After establishing the research problem and what results are wanted, it will define how it will find the answers. Research is a form of collection and interpretation of information that will form the basis of finding answers to questions. The research uses theories and methods that h...
