3.1 Research paradigm:
Williams (2007) stated that the paradigm is generally known as the common proclamations, practices, principles and ideas. It is necessary to examine the investigation perspective in order to maintain the research. Research paradigm is categorized into 2 namely positivism and interpretive. Positivism of the research is referred as the arithmetical system that adopts mathematical tools and devices. Further interpretive does not involve mathematical devices and will be fully concentrated towards the study objectives
Positivism was adopted as a paradigm of the particular research. This research develops a model to examine about curriculum that links between industry and academia that paves the gap between the skills demanded

Quantitative type of approach is adopted for carrying out the research. This study collects the first handled source of data through closed-ended questionnaire and approach of quantitative type is utilized for this specific research. Reasons behind utilizing the quantitative type of approach are as follows: indicates the intensity of the attitudes held by respondents; adopt estimation of population at large; measures actions level, trends, occurrence and more, statistically information are compared among various type of groups and has precision which is definitive and consistent as pointed out by Williams, 2007.
3.3 Research design:
It was explained by Adams and Lawrence (2014) that the design of the research is reason or master plan of the examination which shed light how the investigation to be executed. It indicates how all of major basics of examinations like treatments or programs, measures, samples and so on, jointly work in an attempt to address the research questions. Descriptive design was adopted as a design of the research.

Findings of the study is restricted to India alone ii. This research discusses about business management education iii. This research is concentrated only on the management graduates iv. This study develops a model to study about curriculum that links industry and academia that paves the gap between the skills demanded by the industry and delivered by the institutions
v. This research completely focus on reorienting business management education with specific reference to India vi. Due to time concerns, only restricted number of respondents were involved in executing the primary research of data 4.0 Results and Discussion
The results will ascertain as to which variables from the skills delivered by the academic institutions assist in accomplishing the needs of industries, with a specific reference to India. Further, the findings will be regarding the variables demanded by the industries that are obtained from academic institutions, with a specific reference to India. Thus, assessment of the quality of business management education in India, and its success/failure in meeting the needs of multinational corporate will be made. Hence, the results will enable in knowing the component factors which should be re-oriented to attain the maximum benefit of business schools and organizations. Also, an enhancement of the course curriculum will be suggested on the lines of the obtained results from the data
1. Describe the study design (is it correlational, experimental, survey research, etc.). The study is Level 3, experimental. The participants are within subject design experiences because since the subjects were divided into two groups by gender.
In this assignment, I will be evaluating how appropriate business information is for John Lewis which is used to make strategic decisions. One piece of business information used by John Lewis is its annual reports which displays their sales performance during the financial year. They also included other written information on their reports such as investments for the future, how they manage their responsibilities and methods in which they maintain customer satisfaction. (http://www.johnlewispartnership.co.uk/content/dam/cws/pdfs/financials/annual%20reports/JLP-annual-report-and-accounts-2014.pdf).
I have seen both of these terms mentioned in numerous research articles but I never understood why researchers applied the technique to their study. Part II We will review your postings and answer your questions and clarify/correct anything that needs correcting. Part III Create one multiple choice test question, either from your own topic or one of your classmate 's topics.
D2-Evaluate the effectiveness of business information and its communication as key contributor to the success of an organisation The business information has been effective as the key contributor to the success of Marks and Spencer’s because the morning briefing sheets which are used to inform the employees/ staff at the beginning of each shift about the targets they have for each day and what the employees must do in order to achieve those targets by the end of the day. The briefing sheets will also consist of details of the number of orders needed to be shipped out and by when. The morning briefing will be supervised by the department manager or a team leader. Also, the use of KPI (Key Performance Indicator) has been a very important key contributor to the success.
Combination of education with industrial production.” (Page

The educational industry is comprised of elementary, secondary, postsecondary and training institutions. Each one of these sectors have their own level of competition, as well as social and economic impact that determines it current positioning. All postsecondary institutions (also referred, as higher educational institutions) seem to offer the same type of services, with the same set up fundamentals. Thus, it makes it a little challenging to estimate the universities’ current positioning as a company. Yet, this challenge has allowed higher educational institutions to continually update and improve their programs and academic structure.
Every research project provides a link between a paradigm, epistemology, theoretical perspective, and research practice. A paradigm is identified in any school of thought – the integrated worldviews held by researchers and people in general that determine how these individuals perceive and attempt to comprehend truth (Fitzpatrick, Sanders, & Worthen, 2003). Furthermore, a paradigm includes an epistemological belief as well as an ontological belief that, when combined together, govern perceptions and choices made in the pursuit of scientific truth. In practice, individuals’ epistemological beliefs determine how they think knowledge or truth can be comprehended, what problems – if any – are associated with various views of pursuing and presenting knowledge and what role researchers play in its discovery (Robson, 2002). Different epistemologies offer different views of researchers’ relationships with their object of inquiry.
The three descriptive research methods that I will discuss are Naturalistic Observation, Survey, and Case Study. Naturalistic Observation is a research method in which people or animals are observed in their natural habitat without any controls or variables. This type of research method may be conducted if you want to see how people truly act without being watched. For example, this research method may be used to determine who are healthier shoppers, men or women? The researcher would go to a food store and take count throughout the day of how many men and women he finds in the fruit and vegetable isles, and how many he find in the snack isles.
According to the Suitcase Clinic organization homelessness means a temporary condition that people fall into when they cannot afford to pay for a place to live, or when their current home is unsafe or unstable. (Suitcase Clinic Organization ) Main reasons being homeless: cyclical nature of mental health/ substance abuse, unavailability of affordable accommodation-waiting lists for public housing and lack of reasonably priced houses. For example, in UK and USA housing stocks are unaffordable.
The literature review gives justified information for the need of conducting the research. Apart from the introduction, there is no other information concerning the research title that could offer detailed information (Chaliha et a., 2001). Despite giving the justified information in the introduction section the paper should have had the literature review section, thus it did not follow the due steps and format of a research paper. The methodology part follows after the introduction and it discloses the methods used, the design, the people included in the study and how the data was sampled and examined. However, the reasons for choosing the design in the research were not
This literature review will be covering the topic on research paradigms. There are three major paradigms in the research paradigms which are the positivist paradigm research, interpretivist paradigm research and critical paradigm research. Each research paradigm has its own strengths and effectiveness due to their unique features which are specific to their particular approach as well as weaknesses. All researchers have their own beliefs and methods while conducting a research. Therefore, the ways of research studies conducted are vary.
Research philosophy Research philosophy lay down the background of how researchers understand the world, the choice of research philosophy reflect our knowledge, experiences, preconceptions, and research capability. Thus our knowledge, experiences and etc., which underpin the philosophy choice, will determine our research paradigm, strategy, design and method. (Saunders et al., 2009, p. 128-129).
Positivism can be understood as the idea that the methods of the natural sciences should be used to study human and social matters. In this essay I will be explaining how positivism gave substance to the idea whilst paying particular attention to the role of induction and deduction. Positivism has had some influence in Education and the essay will attempt to outline and critically discuss some of these influences. The knowledge that we acquire is from observations with the aid of our senses.
INTRODUCTION The researchers are subjected to different theories, methods, and belief systems which are already existing to guide the investigation, inquiry or study. The research tradition or research paradigm is the system that a researcher needs to follow based on type of a research. Research Paradigm can be defined as a belief system which guides the researcher on how the study should be investigated and addressed. The focus of following paper will be on differentiating between three types of research traditions which are positivism, interpretivism and critical realism based on their positions on; reason for research, ontology, epistemology, axiology, and methodology.
