INTRODUCTION:
The research project is a framework that outlines the entire research that has to be conducted. It describes research process, methods and techniques that will be used in research. In addition, there are various methods that can be applied in this (Polonsky and Waller, 2014) Thus, it is important for researcher to analyse methods before conducting research. It helps in smooth flow of research. This report will describe how the research project is formulated and in what ways it will help in achieving aims and objectives.

The researcher will develop Gantt chart in order to complete activities. In this, time and schedule will be made for conducting each activity. This will help in completing activity in specific time. Along with this, researcher will use thematic analysis to interpret primary data. It will help in analysing data so that precise information can be collected.
1.2 Factors that contribute to process of research project
There are many factors that can affect research outcomes. Therefore, it is important for researcher to analyse its impact that can be minimised (Flick, 2015) The first factor is researcher interest in topic that he is been involved for long time. With this he can get effective results on how training and development improve employee performance. Besides this, effective knowledge can be a reason that can influence topic. Therefore, research is conducted in order to get practical knowledge of this topic. These two factors can contribute in research project.

1.4 Research project specification
Research methodology is designed to provide a brief outline on what methods or procedures will be used by researcher. It helps in conducting research in smooth way. Also, by this researcher is able to conduct research in systematic way (Smith, 2015) For present research methodology used is described below :-
Research philosophy- It is a technique that allows researcher to conduct research in appropriate manner. There are two research philosophies that is positivism and interpretivism. For present study positivism approach is used. It will allow researcher to focus on aims and objectives that has been determined.
Research approach- It contains theories and hypotheses that is used while conducting research. Inductive and deductive research approaches are there. For present study researcher will use inductive approach (Bell, 2014) It is because entire research is based on questions that will help in collecting specific data and information. Through this researcher will be able to achieve aims and objectives.
Research technique- Generally, there are two types of research techniques used in research that are quantitative and qualitative. In context to above research, qualitative technique will be used by researcher. By this it will be easy to evaluate data and getting specific results. Moreover, in the end it will help in getting valid conclusion of research.
Data collection - Data collection technique plays a crucial role in research. It is because the entire outcomes are based on data collection (Lutz, 2016) There are two ways of collecting data that is primary and secondary. In primary data is for first time from sources like surveys, questionnaire, etc. while in secondary research data is collected by from previous research such as books, journals, newspapers, etc. In context to present research questionnaire method is used by researcher to collect data. Questionnaire will contain only open ended questions. With this help effective and proper data will be collected.
Sampling- It also plays vital role in getting results. It refers to selecting audience from which data questionnaire will be filled.
