The investigative steps necessary for this analysis for this Capstone Project were found in Section III, and this subsequent chapter, Section IV, submits those findings.
Comparative Analysis Process
The fundamental aim within this Capstone Project’s was to detail how Verizon Wireless's benefits package compares in the industry, by process of comparative analysis and implementation of a specific design strategy including the Exploratory Approach and Mixed Method strategy. Using these methods, data were collected directly from the six organization’s public websites, along with additional scholarly sources when necessary. Because of the complexities and amount of data, the Rational Choice Theory was employed to develop a technique that was calculative and ethical. The nature of the theory also provided concrete determination of options, and appropriate interpretation and subsequent recommendations.
Effectively managing the massive amounts of qualitative data required a quantitative coding system to b...
