The Quantitative Research Approach By Saunders, Lewis And Thornhill
3.1 Introduction
This chapter discuss on the methodology that will be used to complete this research as well as the deliberation of research paradigms and potential approaches to apply for this particular study. Generally, a research is based on the assumption of fundamental philosophy that established valid research and determine the suitable research method to further develop knowledge in the field of study.
The essential part of the thesis is methodology as it will represent significant assumptions on the broad overview of the study approach. The component of valid assumptions is important to support the research strategy and methods. Based on the research “onion” by Saunders, Lewis and Thornhill (2009, p.108), the route of research …show more content…
This paradigm can be used to forecast future result. A sub-type of positivism, namely critical realism has integrated some value assumptions as part of the researcher contribution which involves power in society. In this paradigm, researchers primarily depend on the quantitative data; and
(b) Interpretivism
Interpretivism paradigm is related to the qualitative research that used to attain an individual perspective and understanding. A sub-type of interpretivism, namely critical humanism approach which involves people studied in the research process.
3.3 Research Approach
According to Saunders, Lewis & Thornhill (2009), research approaches can be divided into three categories which are deductive approach, inductive approach and abductive approach. The study which require new observation or opinion through different situational evaluation by the researcher is classified as exploratory approach. Then, the study which focus to measure the size, quantities as well as the frequencies with no intention to explain the relationship of the variables categorised as descriptive approach. The study which examine and describe the relationship between two or more variables i.e. dependent and independent variables is known as explanatory …show more content…
Over a period of five years, i.e. from year 2010 until 2014, the number of GLCs listed on Main Board, Bursa Malaysia was varied because of several business transactions or corporate and financial restructuring activities such as mergers and acquisitions as well as the company delisted from Bursa Malaysia. As at December 2015, there are 47 GLCs has listed on Bursa Malaysia and it represent 5% of total listed companies and hold 42% of market capitalisation. On top of that, 14 out of 47 companies was listed in 30 FTSE Bursa Malaysia KLCI (FBMKLCI). These group of 30 companies are determined by their size of market capitalisation that fulfil requirements for the FTSE Bursa Malaysia Index Ground
