    METHODOLOGY OF INFORMATION COLLECTION

    /esearch methodology or design is very important not only for research workers but also for

    readers of research studies. 0very research study has to be well planned to avoid waste of

    efforts but still ensure valid answers, The study must have sufficient but optimum number of

    sub+ects to give 12-324 power to arrive at reliable valid conclusion. 5umber of sub+ects should

    not be more than that required since it amounts to waste of resources like money, time of the

    researcher and skill.

    research methodology is a logical and systematic plan prepared for directing a research study.

    /esearch methodology is the plan, structure, strategy of investigation conceived so as to obtain

    answer to research questions and it constitutes the blue print of collection, management and

    analysis of data.

    6enerally there are three types of research design7

      8uantitative $esign

      8ualitative $esign

      ied methods $esign

    /esearch design is a decision making process. $uring the decision making process theresearcher, like an architect, should choose from many design alternatives and consider over

    the trade offs of each approach and decide the best possible solution. 6enerally speaking, the

    research design decisions are influenced by the questions the investigator is trying to answer,

     by the resources such as time, trained personals and money that the researcher has at hand, by

    the characteristics of the research sites, and also by the researchers personnel preferences.

    Fast food has become very popular today. 0ating habits are formed in early years and become

    the most unchangeable practice in life. Children learn everything from the family and society.

    This study only considered the food and nonfood item, did not consider the attributes that

  • 8/17/2019 Consumer Behavior towards Restaurants and Fast foods in bangladesh

    6/39

    affect the perception of children. Children eat food when going out with their parents and learn

    about different types of food other than fast food. Family make the children familiar with the

    foods considering factors like nutrition, age, status, convenience, speed , money, taste,

    environment of the store because they influence the decision making process . There are other

    factors that can change the family decision making process like income, age. "hen they grow

    up day by day they will take decision regarding food considering different factors tat their

     parents gave them already. ttitudes of children change day by day as time passes and parent

    can influence less gradually.

    Fast food has been developed in the world economy over the past four decades. &iterature on

    fast food were started to be published in ancient time in /ome. From the beginning of the 12s,

    somewhat a huge number of publications have been published on fast food industry. The early

     publications on fast food were basically about the positive and negative aspect of fast food and

    the attitudes of the customers as a whole. attsson mentioned that high school students knew

    the good and bad attributes of fast food. They also inscribed the difference in attitudes between

    male and female students. Female students considered the fast food from the broad food chain

    contet and male considered fast eating and satiety. The study pointed out good and bad

    attributes of fast food and attitudes of young students, but did not consider the loyalty status ofthe student and overall customer service of the restaurants. They also pointed out the differences

    in attitudes between men and women in eating habits. They assessed the combined behavior of

    adults that how eating low calorie food and physical activity are attached with the weight

    loss maintenance. They described the dining out behavior and the ability to engage in physical

    activity and the confidence to participate in that kinds of activities lead to loss weight and

    maintain weight. :ruger, 'lanck and 6illespies study mentioned the overall behavior of adults

    who have a desire to loss and maintain weight, did not describe the factors that influence the

    overall behavior of the adults like quality of food, price, payment method, menu, atmosphere

    of restaurants.

    %n western countries now peoples are more concerned with this issue. any studies conducted

     +ust to reveal the choice and perception and knowledge of people regarding fast food. 9tudies

    have indicated that not all consumers have adequate food-safety knowledge to protect

    themselves. These studies stated that consumers have inadequate food safety knowledge but

    why they have inadequate food safety knowledge was not considered. %f ma+or food processing

    corporations cannot identify the presence or the sources of contamination, or give customers

    adequate information on preparing their packaged food, can the consuming public be epected

    to protect itself# Further, those who have the knowledge do not necessarily practice what they

    know. This study also did not mention the reasons why consumers with adequate food safety

    knowledge did not practice the behavior. 5evertheless, ;arrow, /emig, and

    dish due to time constraint and the availability of the snacks. 9o food choices of adolescents

    have become increasingly important considering the factors like nutrition and health issues.

    The researchers pointed out the fact that quality and nutrition level of food are important

    regarding food choice, but did not mention the factors like menu, payment method, environment

    of the restaurants and price that affect the food choice. This study also did not consider the

    loyalty status of children and overall perception of the children. =nited 9oybean board reported

    that ma+ority of consumers are still concerned about health version of food and confusion arises

    in health and nutrition issues. Consumers only consider nutrition facts label in deciding health

    and nutrition issues. >? percent of consumers prefer to follow moderate fat diet containing only

    good fats food over bad fats food. Consumers also consider soy foods and beverage as healthy

    lowering cholesterol, properly functioning health, containing protein and providing relief from

    menopause symptoms, preventing obesity, managing weight. The organi)ation stated that

    consumers only considered nutrition facts label for health and nutrition issues, did not point out

    the issues whether considering only nutrition facts labels was +ustified enough regarding health

    This data depicts that certain group of people agree that food quality has increased and certain

    disagree that it has not. nother group of people are neutral that food quality has remained

    unchanged. The people who consider food has gone healthier are those people who consume

    food at higher end food +oints and restaurants based on their preference. On the other hand as

    more and more unbranded +oints are coming up, their focus is more on quantity ! profit

    oriented rather than quality of food. Therefore if we consider all the point of views namely

    strongly disagree, neutral and agree, food quality in fact depends on the type of fast foods +oint

    or restaurant you eat at.
