Describe and explain the theoretical tenets of quantitative and qualitative methodological approaches to research design.

Description Before we start, you need to keep in mind that this task has a draft component which means you MUST complete a draft copy a day or two before the due date so that any issues will be rectified before the final submission. The details Of the assessment piece will be uploaded, but very important pieces of information that you need to pay attention to are: 1. The LEARNING OUTCOME of this course which needs to be demonstrated in this research design are as follows; I Describe and explain the theoretical tenets of quantitative and qualitative methodological approaches to research design; ii Demonstrate skills in identifying and researching relevant literature and documents, including academic and empirical research and policy documents; iii Explain the theoretical principles underlying research question/s and research hypothesis/es and demonstrate an ability to construct appropriate research question/s and research hypotheses/es for a specified research project; iv Describe, explain and select an appropriate methodological approach and sampling strategy and design data collection instrument/s for a specified research project; v Describe and apply principles of ethical research; vi Report the key elements of a written research according to American Psychological Association guidelines; vii Be aware of the range, complexity and value of criminological research 2. The assessment piece comes with a template that guides how it should be written. It is important to follow this guide as it mirrors the marking criteria. The most important piece in this assessment is the PROCEDURE and MEASURES in the methodologies section. They both carry 20% each compared to the rest of the other section, which attracts 10%. You must ensure to be a lot more clear and more precise in filling the requirements in this section. 3. The Introduction of the research design NEEDS a review of empirical research examining the relationship between variables outlined in the research question. To guide the reader more closely, you could ever have a subsection in the introduction called a Literature review, but this is not a requirement but will help organise the paper.  4. You will need to do extensive research so that you are effectively and faithfully presenting the current ‘thinking’ in relation to each topic. Each key point you make needs to be validated with empirical research – this is what will validate your argument and makes your work informative. It would be best if you spent more time understanding what is required of you based on the marking criteria. This is not your regular standardised essay, even though it is in an essay format, but you will realise that you will be talking about things you will not talk about in a regular essay. So please use the book I will provide as a guide to help you fulfil the requirements, as this is the textbook we have used throughout this term. A link will be provided that will give you access to download, and you can keep it to use for future work as it is a PDF copy. Finally, the two topics you will have to choose from will be uploaded in a separate document. They will be i. Media and Youth Crime or Unemployment and Crime rate. All other documents will be uploaded. I advise you to go through each one of them as they will form what is required of you. Please feel free to contact me at any time. I will communicate with you via the message section, Thanks The number of sources has to be realistic with the word count.

Synthesise and demonstrate skills and competencies required for successful integrated management

Learning Outcome 1 – Synthesise and demonstrate skills and competencies required for successful integrated management

For this learning outcome, we adopted the Integrated Management Concept that Knut Bleicher developed (Wikipedia, 2021) as this concept encompasses the dimensions and mechanism that are appropriate for our project (Table 1 and Table 2).

Table 1 – Dimensions of Management

Extracted from: Integrated Management Concept, Wikipedia, 2021.

Table 2 – Integration Mechanisms

Extracted from: Integrated Management Concept, Wikipedia, 2021.

Discussions and consultations on the scope of the project, schedule and the composition of the Project Team, were conducted with the stakeholders (Table 3). All stakeholders understood the necessity and benefits of this project since the impressions of the two fatal accidents which involved lifting operations in 2019 were still in their minds. A good mix of enthusiastic representatives formed the strong project team with the HSE Manager’s suggestion to include the subcontractors. The project team also has subject matter experts in risk management, lifting operations and tower crane operations on hand to provide guidance. All appointments in the project team and RA team has a leader and deputy in place, and all trainings have a primary and secondary trainer as back-up to ensure the smooth running of the project.

Table 3 – Discussions and Consultations

A kick-off meeting lead by the Managing Director and attended by all stakeholders, was initiated to keep all informed of the project, the common aims, objectives and benefits to the company, project and subcontractors. The project also consulted the appropriate stakeholders though discussions with the tower crane operators and lifting crews in informal settings, and the HSE Manager arranged a site visit for observations and discussions to have a different perspective on tower crane lifting safety.

As communication is an important attribute, the study provides regular updates through the Daily Progress Reports & Milestone Progress Reports (Appendix 1). A WhatsApp group was also created to provide immediate group communication. The project team also held Focus Meetings (Appendix 2) to update on the progress and schedule, discussed on the project including challenges, and distribution of the tasks ahead. The Project Admin circulated the minutes of the meeting to all key stakeholders to keep them informed of the project.
