In this assignment, all of the information we found are from the secondary research method which is also known as desk research. Generally, mostly all of the company’s information are collected from its own website, other articles, news, books as well as through surfing internet. Secondary data is very useful for us in completing this assignment because it is considerably more efficient in a way of saving cost as well as time. It is a network of data in which all the information are gathered and distributed is readily available.
