Evaluation of the ethical, political, legal and social issues in research

Evaluation of information sources is important part of a research procedure. In research, it is important to select and evaluate proper research methods so that it would be helpful to conduct the research in proper way. In order to evaluate the project resource management in the UK automotive industry, evaluation of ethical, political, legal as well as social issues are important to be considered for conduction of the research in effective way. Hence, it is important to focus on the use of effective research tools and techniques so that it would be helpful to get proper outcomes. The study deals with evaluation of ethical, political, legal as well as social issues that are involved in the research. Understanding of the main philosophical as well as theoretical approaches is discussed in the present study.  

Smith (2015) stated that legal as well as ethical issues are important element of modern research that are related to the subject as well as researcher. Hence, it is important to review several international guidelines as well as regulations, which exists on the issues associated to the informed consent, confidentiality as well as providing original publications. The ethical as well as legal issues associated with conduction of clinical research that engages human participants had raised the concerns of policy makers, lawyers as well as scientists and ethical principles that are applied to the clinical research involving participants of human. On the contrary, it is important to focus on other aspects.

On the other hand, the use of neurostimulation that includes off-label use is expanding the process without complete understanding of safety as well as efficacy. Non-invasive neurostimulation includes the potential causing not only physical as well as non-physical harms. The UK automotive industry has been continued experiencing dramatic changes that includes legal as well as regulatory developments (Taylor et al. 2015). Recognizing the benefits in the government contracts for the small concerns, meeting cyber security as well as telematics challenges can be presented by the connected cars.  Hence, preparation of the business for continued aggressive enforcement by the NHTSA is important for the organization. Discerning the business for the continued aggressive enforcement by NHTSA needs to be analysed properly. Apart from these, the legal as well as ethical issues that surrounds the utilization of the information that goes beyond appropriately citing the sources as well as avoiding the similarity issue. However, it is important to focus the procedures that can be helpful to make the process effective.

Bernard (2017) mentioned that increasing global competition over the last years, the automotive industry has improved quality as well as efficiency. Hence, the use of management tools is associated with the requirements that become strategic issue for the organizations in the competitive environment. On the other hand, quality of the project in the automotive industry can be viewed in several ways. The factors evaluating the quality are based on the proper procedure. On the other hand, it is important to evaluate quality of the process and can be determined by the customers and the requirements of stakeholders.

Critical understanding of main philosophical and theoretical approaches

 Quality management techniques as well as tools are the instruments and methods, which can be helpful for solving particular issue at different level of the organization. There are methods that can be grouped as per distinctive criteria as well as several classifications that are proposed. Production of quality has an extensive process that can minimize the process. On the other hand, it would be helpful for the organizations to select the process that fulfills quality of the standard (Bowling 2014). The automotive industry has started the activity to use the process that can be helpful for the organizations to make significant expansion of the sector. On the other hand, competitive as well as aggressive philosophy of work can be helpful to make the process easy.

The objectives of a research can state the outcome that measures are going to be used within development of the protocol as well as design of the study as well as play an important role in the sample size calculations as well as determining the strength of the study. It is important for the research to evaluate the project resource management in the UK automotive industry by setting up proper research questions like followed.

• What are the project resources in the UK automotive industry?
• Do the project resources meet demands of the customers in the UK automotive industry?

It is important to evaluate information that will assist the research with making bigger decisions (Fellows and Liu 2015). Understanding the process to find the reliable as well as accurate information would be helpful to understand the decisions of conducting the research in proper way.

A literature review is helpful to create a proper sense of rapport with the audience can be helpful to have trust on the process. In order to develop a critical literature review, it is important to gather the relevant and authentic secondary source and gather data from them. The automotive industry is considered as one of the most important parts of the UK economy for having more than 82 euro billion turnover and 20.2 euro billion value added (Wilhelm and Dolfsma 2018). On the other hand, it is important to analyze work of 186000 people employed in the industry directly in the process of manufacturing and it excess of 856000 across the wider area of automotive industry. There are nearly 30 manufacturers developed in 70 models of vehicle in the UK supported process that has component providers as well as skilled engineers.

For several years, vehicle manufacturers are working to minimize environmental impact on the products as well as manufacturing procedures (Wells 2015). Hence, achievement of economic development would be helpful to focus on the automotive industry that makes strives reducing the environment to generate the vehicle and continue to drive down emissions as technical progress as well as developing collaborative development in the process. There are several key environmental policies that have an impact on the UK automotive industry as well as details from the annual automotive sustainability report.

The UK government needs to put the car industry at the negotiation procedure of Brexit and risk management for having loss of several jobs. The car industry has any credible argument that suggests any benefits that are obtained from Brexit for the industry. On the other hand, regulatory consistency as well as friction-free trade advantages and consumers. The UK-built car includes 6000 parts as well as majority of the process comes from the European Union (Wells2015). The UK car manufacturing took a knock of uncertainty over the process and made the community wider. On the other hand, it is important for the organization to commit the major spending decisions.

Proper research questions

Hence, it is important for the organizations to focus on the process and obtain competitive benefits. The automotive industry of the UK has produced and exports passenger vehicles. The origins of the UK automotive industry has several procedures included the procedure. The UK automotive industry has lower development compared to the process. The motorcars have come to use at the time of 1980 (Wegner et al. 2016). On the other hand, the inception British motor industry has been traced back in the process that becomes one of the major innovations in the industry. It is important to document the plans to the manufacture Daimer motors that are taken together.

It is important to focus on the approaches that are required to develop in the research. Quantitative research is related to positivism philosophy that engages the process of collecting as well as converting the data into numerical form so that it would be helpful to make proper statistical decisions (Fellows and Liu 2015). On the other hand, the research questions those are required to address and include the predictions regarding possible relationship between the variables. The outcomes of statistical data can be presented in standard way that has results of P value. On the other hand, the principles of the research are important to evaluate as the objectivity is considered as very important. The external factors that might affect the outcomes need to be controlled properly. On the other hand, it is important to focus on the process of quantitative research. The deductive approach tends in moving the process from general to specific. It is refereed as the process of making top down approach. On the other hand, the validity of making conclusions shows the procedure that depends on the premises. In addition, it is important to focus on developing top down approach the findings.

Research approach is considered as plan as well as procedure that includes several steps of making broad assumptions in the research to make detailed data collection process, analysis as well as interpretation. Hence, it is important to base nature of the research problem that is addressed. On the other hand, the approaches taken for data collection as well as approach of the data analysis are important (Thomas, Silverman and Nelson 2015). The use of philosophical assumptions has tendency to develop the process that is helpful to generate the process effective. On the other hand, it is important to use the research approaches properly. Traditional design is reliant upon the process of two-dimensional approaches and modeling extends the process. On the other hand, investment on the industry is important as the industry lobby. It is also important to focus on the procedure that can be helpful to make the process easier.

In the present context, it is important to select proper research approach to conduct the research in proper way. There are generally two types of research approaches taken in a research such as inductive approach and deductive approach. In the present study to evaluate the project resources in the UK automotive industry, deductive approach would be helpful to conduct the research in proper way (Bowling 2014). As the research, deals with evaluation of existing theories and models related to the study, selection of the approach is justified in the research.

On the other hand, there are three types of research designs used in research such as descriptive research design, exploratory research design and explanatory research design. In the present context, descriptive research design has been selected as the design would be helpful to conduct the research in appropriate way.

Demirbas, Wilkinson and Bennett (2018) commented that sampling is one of the important procedures involved in a research. There are two types of research designs selected in a research such as probability sampling and non-probability sampling. In order to evaluate the project resource management in the UK automotive industry, simple random probability sampling technique has been used. On the other hand, it is important to focus on the data collection and analyse method. Primary and secondary are the types of data collection used in a research. Secondary data are collected for the research (De Propris and Bailey 2017). On the other hand, quantitative and qualitative analysis methods are two types of data analysis methods. Quantitative data analysis method deals with the statistical data, whereas qualitative data analysis method deals with descriptive data. In the present context, qualitative data analysis method is used in the research in order to analyze the secondary data gathered for the research.

Conclusion

 The above study concludes that it is important to select effective research methodological tools for conduction of the research in proper way. Hence, selection of the best management tools can be helpful for the organizations that can enhance performance and increase satisfaction of the customers. Management can be characterized, as the global as well as comprehensive approach can be helpful to implement organizational strategy as well as manage methodology, which can make the members participating with the primary aim of enhancing efficacy, functionality as well as efficiency. In this perspective, it is important to develop proper research methodology get expected outcome for the research.
