Introduction Computer Science has proved its importance in various domains of science like natural sciences, social sciences, humanities and cultural science [1]. Computer science (CS) characterized as an empirical discipline, in which each new program can be seen as an experiment, the structure and behavior of which can be studied [2]. The term Information and Communication Technology (ICT) is analogous to Information Technology, but it stresses more on role of technologies like telecommunications, computers, software's, etc, which enable users to access, store, and manipulate information [3]. Research methods …show more content…

By abstracting internal details it obtains models that captures essence of the problem under study. By doing this it supports generalization and unification of results. It is mainly concerned with possibilities and limitations. In other words we can say that we can use the theoretical method to model a new system. However the theoretical method can help in finding new mathematical models or theories, but this method still needs other methods to prove the efficiency of the new models or theories.
4. Qualitative Method: Qualitative research methods are being used increasingly in evaluation studies, including evaluations of computer systems. These methods are used to understand the perception of an information system by its users, the context within which the system is implemented and the processes by which outcomes are generated. Qualitative research method is a method dealing with phenomena that are difficult or impossible to quantify mathematically, such as beliefs, meanings, attributes, and symbols. The qualitative method investigates the why and how of decision making, not just what, where, when.

    Measurement issues. Data, even numerically coded variables, can be one of 4 levels - nominal, ordinal, interval, or ratio. It is important to identify which level a variable is, as this impact the kind of analysis we can do with the data. For example, descriptive statistics such as means can only be done on interval or ratio level data. Please list under each label, the variables in our data set that belong in each group.

But, in order for an innovation to make a significant impact on society the innovation must be spread throughout the many different cultures and societies on earth.

    Introduction Qualitative research are those kind of researches that an outcome is obtained without the application of statistical methods of data analysis (Strauss and Corbin, 1990 cited in Golafshani, 2003). However, the qualitative research takes a direct approach, where the researchers arrive at a conclusion through the observation of events as they occur naturally without external interferences (Golafshani, 2003). Ethical and methodological issues may arise, therefore in order to demonstrate the legitimacy of Qualitative research it is important to integrate rigour and trustworthiness. Potential ethical issues There is the need to take into consideration ethical issues that may arise from conducting qualitative researches.

    My interest in the Computer Science major at Carnegie Mellon was first piqued while I was in the Microsoft Student Partners Program, where I met a Technical Evangelist from Microsoft who graduated from the course. I had heard from him how the nation’s best graduates of Computer Science were often recruited from Carnegie Mellon. Naturally, this keen interest sparked off by my encounter with him did not just stop there as I am now sitting at my desk writing my CMU supplementary essays. As someone who has been trying to find myself within the tech sector in the future, Carnegie Mellon’s vast ties to the technology world only serve to underscore its appeal.

    3. QUALITATIVE RESEARCH THEORY 3.1 QUALITATIVE RESEARCH Qualitative research is a form of research in which the researcher collects and interprets data, meaning the researcher is as important in the research process as the participants and the data they provide. Reason and Rowan (2004) have argued that the core element of a qualitative research approach is to connect meanings to the experiences of respondents and their lives. According to Clissett (2008) qualitative research involves a variety of research methods that can be used to explore human experience, perceptions, motivations and behaviours. Qualitative research is characterised by collection and analysis of words in the form of speech or writing.

    In this section the author describes the theories that will support the analysis of information. In order to construct a theoretical background for the study the author chose to describe theories regarding the selection of countries. 5.1 Transaction costs theory Transaction cost theory was developed by Coase (1937) and then re-analyzed by Williamson (1979). The theory explains why companies exist and expand their activities to external environments finding out that ‘’A Transaction cost occurs when a good or service is transferred across a technologically separable interface’’.
