Qualitative methods allow a researcher to explore experiences and ideas in depth. Primary qualitative methods are interviews with open-minded questions, literature reviews, and observations (Sabharwal & Malish, 2018). Quantitative methods allow a researcher to test the hypothesis of a study by systematically collecting and analyzing information. The primary quantitative methods are observations recorded in numbers, surveys that comprise closed-end questions, and experiments. Qualitative techniquesThe primary qualitative methods of research introduced are interviews, focus groups, literature review sampling, and ethnography. Interviews entail asking open-minded questions face to face to respondents. Focus groups entail discussing among a group of individuals regarding a particular theme purposely to gather opinions that can be used for research. A literature review technique entails surveying published works by other researchers (Sabharwal & Malish, 2018). Ethnography is a qualitative method that entails participating in an organization or community for an extended period to observe behavior or culture when conducting research. Also, sampling is qualitative technique where a researcher does not need to collect data from an entire population to obtain valid findings but only a sample of the population is selected for a given study. Strengths and Weaknesses of Qualitative MethodsQualitative methods are of significance to a researcher as they offer more detailed data explaining sophisticated issues. The qualitative methods are cost-efficient. Also, they are multiple methods for gathering information when it comes to sensitive subjects. There are two weaknesses regarding qualitative methods (Bullock et al., 2017). First, the methods are more challenging to analyze as they do not fit neatly in standard classes. Also, the methods when used in research to gather data are usually time-consuming. Example SharingWhen conducting research, it is essential to decide which research methods to take into account. This is intending to makesure the required outcome in the analysis is achieved. For instance, quantitative methods aim to test or confirm a hypothesis or theory. The use of qualitative methods helps one understand the thoughts, experiences, and thoughts of a subject. This made it easier to carry out a study that I had previously been assigned by the organization I work for. ReferencesBullock, R., Little, M., & Millham, S. (2017).

Research remains fundamental in various fields, including social sciences, medicine, healthcare, or management. Compared to qualitative methods, which are characterized by their goals and the necessity to understand some specific aspects of social life, quantitative research aims to measure and identify something (McCusker & Gunaydin, 2014). The task of a person who works within the frames of qualitative research is to understand the worth of personality and succeed in self-assessment or reflection, while qualitative researchers deal with statistics and introduce a general idea supported by personal interest (Choy, 2014). Therefore, it is wrong to believe that only qualitative research focuses on people and their interests. The way of how quantitative researchers gather and analyze data may be interesting to a wide range of public.There remain numerous mentalities toward qualitative and quantitative examination. For example, Barczak (2015) admits that it is wrong to believe that writing a qualitative project is easier than writing a quantitative project. Both types of work have their challenges and benefits, and much depends on a person and the already developed skills. A deductive approach is used in terms of quantitative studies, and an inductive approach helps to build a theory in a qualitative approach (Barczak, 2015). There is no good or bad research method for students. The main idea is that some people can be better predisposed to some kind of work and less interested in another approach. As a result, many people continue paying their attention to the possibility to use both qualitative and quantitative methods and introduce strong mixed methods research.ReferencesBarczak, G. (2015).

The design staff at Easy Chairs often complains that the team leader, Josh, is hard to work with, but they cannot do without him. He has great ideas and knows how to implement them well, but in terms of getting the work done the team complains he is a nightmare. Here is what his team has to say:“We send him emails and he either gives us one-word answers, fails to edit what he sends, or fails to reply. Sometimes he tells two people to do the same thing not remembering he has given the assignment to someone else. The worse problem is that he prioritizes work in an email and then changes things when events interfere. Again, not communicating the change. Last week two of us edited a design for a custom front carrier basket for a customer whose deadline was this week only to find that Josh had changed the deadline to last week. The basket design that was completed by us both had to be adjusted to one design and the rear basket had to be done in two days. This meant long nights. Creating the printer design code takes time. We have tried to talk with Josh about things like this and he gets better for a while and then things are back to normal. He just doesn’t listen.”Josh was asked about the team’s concerns and here was his reply:“I spend a lot of time prioritizing and delegating job tasks to the team. I always ask people if they are clear about what they have to do and ninety percent of the time I get no answers. I have to assume they are fine with what I have said. I am the first to admit that I could be better about my emails. However, I often call people to check on what is being done or stop by to see if things are going okay. I don’t want to micromanage what they do. The problem last week is an example; I went to check up on the front basket design Don was assigned only to find that Joan was doing the same project (and not working on the rear basket as the schedule said). The customer called me with changes, including a deadline change, and I saw Joan in the hallway and told her about the changes. I did not tell her she was to edit the basket design. She just assumed that was what I was telling her to do. I went to Dan and gave him the changes. Why didn’t she say that I had gotten the wrong basket design person? I sometimes think that they are not listening to me.”Dwight is curious about the communication issues that seem to be happening here between Josh and the team and wants to take action. He wants an email from you by the end of the week. It should contain the following discussion:Directions: Create an email to Dwight outlining, with enough detail, the approach you would take to resolve the team's complaints. Identify the communication issues that are causing problems with the team scenario. Explain at least six techniques you would employ to make the communication better between Josh and the team. Explain how you would communicate all this information to the people involved. Use course material to support your responses and include APA in-text citations with a reference list.

300 word minThousands and thousands of African Americans wrote to Eleanor Roosevelt for help from 1932 to 1944.Assume an African American character and write from the perspective of the character. What would be the obstacles faced by people of color during the Great Depression or the war years? Explain the issues in your letter and ask for specific help on those matters. Also in a separate paragraph below your letter, explain why you chose to write what you did. What inspired you to write on the topics, situations or events that were discussed in your letter?One way to help you prepare for your letter is to research writing letters during the Great Depression to President and Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt. In addition, some websites you can look at for this Discussion: Eleanore Roosevelt and Civil Rights, George Washington University and "Please Help US Mr. President": Black Americans Write to FDRYou can also Google: "Black Americans write to Eleanor Roosevelt." You will see multiple images of actual letters written to the First Lady.Do not use Wikipedia for this Discussion. Please use at least one academic source from the library.
