CHAPTER 4

4.1 INTRODUCTION

In this chapter will be discusses in great length about the research methods that had been used in order to obtained both primary and secondary data in this study and explain in detail about approach undertaken as the research methodology to complete this enquiry.

In decree to obtain good result and run across the objectives as planned, the right and suitable methodology needs to be used. Methodology is a method to determine the approach applied to direct the study or research. The objectives of this study will to be achieved by using two methods.

4.4 RESEARCH PROCESS

A research process requires a sequence of brief explanation of a research process involved (Sherman, 2000). Primary data which will be the information that can be retrieved from various sources, such as articles, journals, references books, website and etc, which are supposed to be related to the matter of study. Secondary data are collected through questionnaire, distributed to contractors are to be gathered in a manner where studies can be carried out so that the results can be produced as a primary data collected.

All these data collected shall be gathered to develop a literature review, with the guidance from the
