A description of the research methodology you have chosen (i.e., quantitative, qualitative, or mixed) and a justification of this approach as best suited to address the problem and answer the specific research questions.
• A discussion on the research design you have proposed (e.g., case study, quasi-experimental, etc.) and a justification of this design as the best choice and its ability to align with other aspects of the study.
