1. Introduction
This research sets out to investigate into communication practices with reference to two different age categories of leaders i.e. generation X = 25-35 years and generation Y = older than 35 years.
1.1. Research Questions
1.2. Type of Data Collected
The researcher has collected qualitative type of data through the interviews and observations. Detailed responses from the leaders from both the categories of generations (explained later) were collected against ten open-ended questions devised for each of them. Apart from that, there are findings of panel discussion based on observations. These findings (both that of interview and observations) are presented ...

The Role of EPR in Sustainable Waste Management

Introduction
The problem of the disposal of end-of-life or waste tyres has become a serious problem in the whole world including the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC)— Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Qatar, Bahrain and Oman. It is a problem that has largely been ignored in the past. Waste tyres were used largely as landfill. The environmental, health and economic hazards are only realized when problems—like fires arise. In the Kirby Tire Recycling dump near the village of Sycamore in Wyandot County, Ohio, USA, a fire burned a tyre landfill spread across 14 acres in August ...

The Influence of Project Managers on Project Success Criteria and Project Success by Type of Project
There is a large body of research that supports the importance of effective project management and completion. The mixed method study, completed by Ralf Muller and Rodney Turner (2007), considered the impact of project managers, including attitudes and management methods, as qualitative factors, and age and overall success rate, as quantitative factors, on project completion and success. It should be noted that this was particularly interesting because it considered not only construction related project success but grouped findings by industry and ...

Philosophy

In order to study the problem carefully and understand the relationship between consumer behaviors (perception) and hotel service quality it is necessary to conduct the research using some of the existing methods. The research will follow an interpretivism approach.
In order to choose the appropriate methods of research it is required to identify what kind of results are expected. Consumer behavior (perception) is not something typical or standard. Even though the hotel can provide the same conditions and level of service for all its guests, every individual will have its own opinion in this respect. Some guests may ...

Methodology chapter

Employee leadership styles are significant since they help the organization in accomplishing its goals. Besides, employee leadership styles are vital for job satisfaction (Vestal, 2009). As a result the research needs to conduct an in-depth review of employee leadership styles and come up with a quantitative conclusion which will be applied in the organization and other similar organization within the industry (Welbourne, 2007).
Several general orientation exists about the nature of research and how to execute different studies. This research will take a positivism approach. In this case, different theories of leadership will be reviewed, and the research will ...

Data Used

In the experiment, Water Erosion Prediction Project (WEPP), software for determining the simulation model based on fundamentals such as topography, soil, management and climate was used. Four input files (climate file, soil file, management file and slope file) were used. The climate file consists of the observed data named “Virgina Plains” and simulated data named “Dwepp” as shown in appendix 1.
The WEPP is a program whose aim is to address water erosion prediction technology for soil and assess water planning and conservation (Nearing et al., 1989). The WEPP model includes an irrigation estimation component for soil loss emanating ...

Research Questions
Will the strategy of designing role-playing games in the history class be an effective strategy to improve the students’ performance?
What will be the expected average improvement of the improvised strategy?
How will the students perceive the new learning method?
How will we ensure that the students did not improve their mean score through other factors?
How will we validate the results for credibility?
Hypothesis
HA: Group A will perform better than group B with SSL English students improving their mean grade at the end of the fall.

Hypothesis B: Group B will perform averagely but slightly lower than Group B.

Ho: Group A will perform better than group B.

Methodology

Research Type and Methods
The research applies qualitative case study to investigate the impacts of organizational structure on the attitudes and behaviors of employees. This type of research allows complex examination of the contextual phenomena to develop theories and assess organizational programs (Jones & Forshaw, 2012). This method will allow the application of variable data to explore the structure of organizations. Such a multidimensional perspective of examining the variables improves the certainty of outcomes and boosts the research confidence and validity depending on the case used (Remenyi, 2012). In this case, the study approach will enhance the development of a ...

Research Methodology

A research methodology states the general approach that guided the research on the effect of training on employee motivation and job satisfaction in the hospitality industry. The methodology entails the research philosophy, approach, methods, strategy and tools employed in the research. Also, the methodology specifies the applied time horizon in the case study of Ritz Carlton Hotel. The methodology elaborates the underlying concepts and theories to support our choice of approach as shown below:

Introduction

The methodology is a systematic and critical discussion of the methods and procedures used to research a particular area. This chapter discusses the design and methods of the research process in detail along with the justification for selecting them.

Research Approach

The research approach is positivism; it is an empiricist view that considers that knowledge stems from human experience. The primary benefit of positivism is that it grants the required objectivity to the study by nullifying the role of human interest and the researcher's involvement. Crowther and Lancaster(2008) opined that positivist studies employ a deductive approach, and the researcher concentrates ...

Methodology

The methodology presents the major strategies and techniques that will be used to achieve the major objectives that were set in the research .
