and objectives, the research design, justification of the study and the structure of the dissertation. Chapter 2 reviewed the literature on VM and VE, as well as the origins of VM and how it might be utilised by UK project management professionals. This chapter expands on the literature reviewed in the previous chapter to present the methodological structure that was used to generate and gather the data for this study. In accordance with the research topic, qualitative research method is selected
is to provide the general overview and clarify the approaches used in analysis and data collection which includes the tool that will be used for the data analysis, research philosophies, sampling techniques, and the approaches. Research Philosophy/Paradigms: To carry out the research, it goes through different process like research philosophy, research design, research approach as shown in fig 1:1 Research Onion Figure
The philosophical study of social research is an important dimension of social science which has been placed to analyze the problems of social science description and its relationships. Philosophy of social science deals with the generalized meaning of the thing & centered on the sharing of experience about the social world in which people’s perspective differs from one another. The various approaches analyze the social research on the basis of three grounds: Thematic analysis, meta-narratives
modern research philosophies. Projects should also be characterized by a logical cohesion, so philosophical approaches should be placed correctly while organizing the plan for a project. To start with, this essay discusses the different research philosophies as well as gives many different authors’ views. First of all, in every kind of project, philosophy should be put into it. Philosophy is the use of nonconcrete ideas and views that notify our study (Creswell, page 16). Research philosophy can
The research method needs the research philosophy approach and strategies made use of to conduct the research. The study will make use of a research onion put forward by Saunders, Lewis & Thornhill (2007) to direct and help in the development of knowledge that will answer the research questions. The figure below is an illustration of the Saunders et al. (2007) research onion.

which the proposed solution will be tested. An explanation of the adopted philosophy, approach, strategy and research design, data collection and analysis methods, ethics and limitations of the research are outlined. 6.1 Philosophy This dissertation will act as a consultancy report and will guide and stimulate prospective organizational decisions. As the objectives set support action, the appropriate philosophy for this research is pragmatism. Furthermore, as this study will adopt multiple methods,
There are many approaches to clinical psychology; the four major approaches are in psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, and family systems. Using the four major approaches contributes to the effectiveness in treatment by identifying the goals of each approach. The paper will break down the approaches, goals, techniques, and the overall approaches used. Philosophical Origins of Clinical Psychology ApproachesAs Thomas Plante (2005) cleverly suggested, clinical psychology is both a science

areas: (a) philosophy of research, (b) core concept for research design, and (c), other approaches to research. I assessed explicit knowledge-base description of key concepts and questions related to the topic area. The purpose of this assignment was to demonstrate necessary proficiency in identification, articulation, and application, of related components characteristic of the social sciences. According to Lodico, Spaulding and Voegtle (2010), applied research is research
better research strategies for research in software engineering in her paper titled, “What makes good research in software engineering?” By formalizing what is already considered as high quality research, software engineers can better design research processes, aide them in writing quality research papers and also help them read and better understand software engineering research papers. Shaw puts forth the hypothesis that research in software engineering should be characterized by research processes
