And utilization of the different financial structured theories of the better performance of the industry and techniques to resolve the related issues with the support of the accounting standards and practices (Darkwah, 2013). Research Methodology Research onion is a process of research methodology, which helps in analyzing a particular topic of research to provide a proper result about the topic of the research. Research methodology also helps operation process for the academy to do the proper and correct research operation in a particular topic. Research methodology also helps student with the better time division with each stage of the research. In six different divisions, research onion is divided namely Philosophies, Strategies, Choices, Time Horizons, Techniques and Procedures (Herren, 2014). Research Design Research design of a particular topic helps in determining the work structure of a given topic. It helps in the collection and selection of data resource during analyzing the research report. For the benefits of academic student, research design is of three types, exploratory research design, Explanatory research design and Descriptive research design. Data Collection Data collection in a research process helps in highlighting the areas that is comprised of information and facts related to the research topic. Data collection gives a practical understanding of the concerned research topic and accordingly helps in gaining better details of the topic in a better and standardized manner. Data Sources Data sources are the research materials used in study of any topic and are helpful in citing results and information about the topic. Pointed out that primary and secondary are the two broad forms of data sources used in a research work and are considered helpful in providing details related to the topic. In case of primary sources, the researcher directly interact with the involved subjacent or respondents in order to gain most relevant and appropriate information and knowledge. On the other hand, as described by secondary sources are the already published and known facts used to gather background details and better quality of information related to the research about the oil and gas industry (Misund and Osmundsen, 2008). Qualitative and Quantitative Data Collection Data techniques in a research study can be either qualitative or quantitative or both that helps a researcher in conducting research process. Qualitative data is helpful in dealing with descriptive data that deals in giving detailed explanation to the concerned topic. On the other hand, pointed that quantitative data describes viewpoints of larger respondents in a more structured and easy manner and increases the concern of viability as well. However, in quantitative study, thoughts of the respondents are limited due to list of parameters. Research Limitations Research limitations in a research study are held responsible for citing the areas where possibilities of restricted study due to certain factor. In the particular research work, the researcher has tried to list the research limitations that due to certain parameter are restricting in studying the innovative strategies as a process of synchronization in project management. Time Horizons There are many application used to maintained the time horizons for the better outcomes of the current status of the research. The key activities and performance of the project can be researched and maintain the time frame and activities of the quality of report with duration check activities (Salaberry and Comajoan, 2013). Main activities/ stages Week 1 Week 2 Week 3 Week 4 Week 5 Week 6 Week 7 Topic Selection Data collection from secondary sources Creating layout Literature review Formation of the research Plan Selection of the Appropriate Research Techniques Primary data collection Analysis Interpretation of Data Collection Findings of the Data Conclusion of the Study Formation of Rough Draft Submission of Final Work Proposal Summary Research process for the particular research study is helpful in synchronizing the research tools in the most appropriate ones. This chapter stated the used and selected research tools for evaluating role of innovation strategies in accounting standards and framework. Based on proper justification, each research tool will help in conducting most standardized form of research that will further help in analyzing the data as required in the process of research study about the accounting standards framework related to the oil and gas industry.
