Study Design and Scope

Descriptive survey research designTo achieve the study objectives, Cross-

Sectional Survey Design will be usedThe cases will be used outsourcing

companies such as Tullow, Total SA, CNOOC & Heritage Oil

involved in exploration, production, refinery, marketing and distribution

Map of Uganda showing selected districts of the Albertine Graben

Hoima District (in red), located along Lake Albert, has been the site of the petroleum finds

Data collection, Processing and Analysis

Sample SelectionStratified random sampling will be

considered over the non-probabilistic methods

The different companies with direct and indirect relationship to the petroleum value chain formed the basis for stratification

These companies include Tullow Oil, CNOOC, Total SA, and Heritage oil will be the strata

SAMPLE SIZE

A total of 4 Oil companies¾ will be interviewedResulting 75%

Data Processing and Analysis

qualitative and quantitative methodsQualitative data will be analyzed using N-

VIVO softwarequantitative data will be analyzed using

Statistical Package for Social Scientists (SPSS)

Logit model

Page 11: CHAPTER3. RESEARCH METHODOLGY By Augustine 2013.05.09

Reliability and Validity measure

Validity refers to how accurately the construct reflects what it intends to measure

reliability refers to the consistency of the results obtained

Page 12: CHAPTER3. RESEARCH METHODOLGY By Augustine 2013.05.09

The Logit model will therefore used in this research study

Logit Model of a number P between 0 and 1 is given by the formulae:

Logit (P)= Log(P/1-P)=Log(p)-Log(1-P). This is in reduced form of a Logit model can be expressed as:

Y = α +βiXi +εWhere Y is dependent variable

(performance of logistics companies in the oil and gas sector =1, or not =0); α is a constant; Xi are the explanatory variables; βi are a vector of explanatory variable coefficients; and ε is error term
