INTRODUCTION

This chapter of the paper presents the problem and its setting. It includes the

background of the study, the statement of the problem, significance of the study, and

scope and delimitation of the study.

Background of the Study

The effect of globalization on firms’ development has attracted much attention

in the business world and other related disciplines. Globalization describes a process

by which national and regional economies, societies and cultures have become

integrated through the global network of trade, communication, immigration and

transportation (Abdulai, 2016). According to Ocloo et al. (2014), globalization has led

to the spread of businesses and various cultural activities worldwide. Such

businesses are categorized as large, medium and small-scale enterprises.

Human beings have encountered many changes over the last century

especially in their social relationships and social structures. Of this changes, one can

say that globalization is a very important changes, if not, the” most important”

(Bauman, 2003). The reality and omnipresence of globalization makes us see

ourselves as part of what we refer to as the global age” (Albrow, 1996).

Globalization is a term used to describe how trade and technology have made

the world into a more connected and interdependent place. Globalization also

captures in its scope the economic and social changes that have come about as a

result. It may be pictured as the threads of an immense spider web formed over

millennia, with the number and reach of these threads increasing over time. People,

money, material goods, ideas, and even disease and devastation have traveled
these silken strands, and have done so in greater numbers and with greater speed

than ever in the present age.

A business enterprise is a venture that offers products and services. It wasn't

necessary in every barrio or location. Businesses always deal with diverse

competitors. which gives them ideas and direction for how to treat consumers well

and how to be an effective manager, leader, and planner. Having rival sellers

teaches each seller how to be a strong manager.

Due to globalization business owners might provide customers more options

when choosing where to buy things. They have a choice as to which company will

meet their wants and offer services. Thus, this will lead to a person's devotion to a

particular company When a customer is pleased with the goods offered by the firm

they have chosen, they will buy from them again.

REVIEW OF THE LITERATURE AND CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK

This chapter of the paper presents the review of related literature, the

conceptual framework, the research hypotheses, and the definition of terms.

Related Literature

This is a written summary of journal articles, books, and other documents that

describes the past and current state of information on the topic of your research

study.

Conceptual Framework

This is a diagram that connects variables of the study with lines (correlations)

or arrows (cause-effect relationships).

Research Hypothesis(es)

A hypothesis is a prediction of the possible outcomes of a study (Fraenkel &

Wallen, 2009).

Hypotheses are statements in quantitative research in which the investigator

makes a prediction or a conjecture about the outcome of a relationship among

attributes or characteristics (Creswell, 2012)

Definition of Terms

Variables and sub-variables or values in conceptual framework are defined,

except very common variables like grade level, gender, school type where the values

are indicated in the framework itself.

METHODOLOGY

This chapter includes the research design, the sample, the instruments, the

intervention (if research is experimental), the data collection procedure, and the plan

for data analysis.

Research Design

Research designs are the specific procedures involved in the research

process: sampling, data collection, and data analysis.

The Sample

The first step leading to the process of collecting quantitative data is to identify

the people and places you plan to study. This involves determining which group of

people will you study, who, specifically, these people are, and how many of them you

will need to involve

The Instrument(s)

This refers to the questionnaire or data gathering tool to be constructed,

validated and administered (Creswell, 2012).

Intervention

Clearly and completely describe how the intervention will be implemented,

such that the reader can replicate the intervention. Describe what happens in

comparison group.

Data Collection Procedure

 Quickly describe whose permission will be sought and arrangements to make

to administer instruments. Describe when instruments will be administered and who

will administer them. Add details on arrangements and administration of instruments,

if needed.

Plan for Data Analysis

This section indicates how the data will be analyzed and reported; it should

specify the qualitative and/or quantitative methods that will be used in analyzing the

data gathered for the research.

without drawing broader implications or meaning from them. Further, this section

includes summaries of the data rather than the raw data (e.g., the actual scores for

individuals). A results section include tables, figures, and detailed explanations about

the statistical results

(Based on First Question in the SOP)

Includes results and discussion relevant to the first question of the research or

the first variable of the study.

(Based on Second Question in the SOP)

Includes results and discussion relevant to the second question of the

research or the second variable of the study.

Re-conceptualized Framework
 If some or all findings are different from expected, have a section on re-

conceptualized framework at end of Chapter 4 and make diagram of re-

conceptualized framework. Starting with text, cite figure (diagram) of re-

conceptualized framework. Explain changes vis-à-vis Conceptual Framework of the

Study.

Conclusions

The portion that gives meaning to your research and your results. The

objective of the Conclusion section is to examine the results, determine whether they

solve the research question, compare them within themselves and to other results

(from literature), explain and interpret them, and then draw conclusions or derive

generalizations, and make recommendations for applying the results or for further

research.
