Research methodology
The research will adopt purposive research technique/method that holds requisite incentives to ensure the realization of credible results. The technique is relevant in ensuring that, the purposive nature of the study (to establish the economic development in Saudi Arabia and its effects) is achieved. This research will go through research design, literature review, primary data collection, data compilation, analysis, and derivation of the intended findings. According to Merrigan, & Huston (2009, p. 45) purposive research technique will provide the researcher with superior study mechanism that is relevant in executing investigations with well orchestrated objectives. The technique ensures that the purposive nature of the topic under study is understood adequately. This will help in identifying viable sampling techniques including respondent identification and delivery of credible information (Kumar 2011, p. 39).
As indicated, this technique will help in identifying resources and respondents. This will be based on professional judgment and relevancy in providing pertinent information. This study will be executed successfully by applying the designed techniques comprehensively (Flick 2011, p. 98). Consequently, the research method used will provide potential guidelines to facilitate the identification of credible data collection techniques. This will enable the adoption of superior data gathering procedures where use of questionnaires and electronic resources will be applied in this context (Goddard & Melville, S 2001, p. 55). The questionnaires will be presented randomly to the selected sample size. Indeed, the techniques will provide superior and detailed information based on the research topic formulated.
Justification of this methodology
As indicated, the technique holds immense relevance and significance in driving purposive research ventures. It gives the researcher a superior guideline and freedom to choose the sampling size, population, and data collection procedures based on his/her professional judgment and relevance. This will allow the investigative nature of the study to be attained (Dantzker & Hunter 2012, p. 34). It will enable the researcher to have a clear understanding of the topic under study. This will lead to the formulation of credible procedures and timelines of executing the work from the initial stage to data analysis and formulation of essential recommendations. The approach will also be vital in propelling the perfect identification of the electronic resources that will be used to unveil the economic development In Saudi Arabia.
Data analysis
Data analysis is fundamental in any research study since it leads to formulation of the findings. Evidently, this study will adopt conventional data analysis technique where pertinent software resources will be used to analyse the information obtained. The researcher will administer the data collected to ascertain their relevance and credibility in boosting formulation of accurate findings (Dantzker & Hunter 2012, p. 34). The researcher will perform systematic data evaluation and administration especially the information obtained from the presented questionnaires. The questions will be developed in cognizance to the research topic and will be based on the set objectives.
Schedule of Activities/Tentative timeline
The study will be conducted for a period of nine weeks where research topic, formulation of objectives, identification of research technique, data gathering, and analysis will be performed based on the set schedule. The timelines for executing the activities will be adhered to diligently as indicated.
Schedule
The schedule gives a guideline on how the activities will be conducted from the initial stages to completion (Babbie, 2011, p. 53). The methodology presents strict timelines to facilitate effectiveness and realization of accurate results.
