***Doctorate Level Questions***No Plagiarism….Paraphrase the content, and provide Citations and at least TWO Reference Sources for each question provided….Please provide a substantive response for EACH question. Each question should each have a word count of 150 words or more….Please provide appropriate foundational knowledge, be factual, and enhance the dialogue….Please do not recite the same words just to provide word count….
Question One
Synthesize the methodology, design, problem statement, target population, and geographic location to develop a one-sentence purpose statement for your proposed dissertation study. How does the purpose of your study relate to the research problem identified in the problem statement?
Question Two
Identify the data sources for the phenomenon/a in your proposed study. How will each data source be used to answer the research questions? Identify and discuss at least one strategy you will use to establish trustworthiness of each data source. Support your justification with citations from peer-reviewed sources.
**Methodology**
What methodology did you select for your proposed study? Why? Justify and defend your choice as the best option for addressing your problem statement and research questions. Discuss an alternative methodology and explain why you did not select it for your study. Use at least 2-3 peer-reviewed sources in your defense and refutation.
I selected a qualitative methodology to analyze the monetary value of a corporation’s professional certification, because it uses oral interviews and focus discussion approaches. The method collects data, such as beliefs, perceptions, and observations, and efficiently evaluates professional certifications’ monetary value to corporations (Stewart & Cash, 2017). According to Nelson & Evans (2014), a researcher working on professional certifications needs to conduct interviews, and hold focus group discussions with small groups to obtain valuable information.
Quantitative methodology is an alternative for studying the monetary value of professional certifications. However, I did not choose this method, because it deals with data, such as figures and numerals analyzed using statistical approaches. According to Sukamolson (2017), it uses statistical techniques to evaluate its data and requires a large sample size to conduct its study; this will be challenging in studying professional certifications’ monetary value. Additionally, the quantitative methodology entails manipulating observations to describe occurrences reflected by observations; if data becomes manipulated while examining the monetary value, it will alter the research objectives.

**Research Design**
What research design did you select for your proposed study? Why? Justify and defend your choice as the best option for addressing your problem statement and research questions. Discuss an alternative design and why you did not select it for your study. Use at least 2-3 peer-reviewed sources in your defense and refutation.
I selected a case study design for my study, because of its in-depth investigation. According to Thattamparambil (2020), case-study is an in-depth study of an event, an organization, a person, or a group, and explains how the researcher selected their case study materials for the analysis, the type of materials analyzed, and how they collected and selected them.
The design will assist with analyzing the monetary value of professional certifications to corporations, because it answers why and how questions. Additionally, the design explores a time and space-bound phenomenon based on history, development, and other aspects. The design is generally used by researchers to study past organizational performance considering a corporate choice of technical knowledge.
Grounded theory design is an alternative; it focuses on constructing theories from data collected. I did not select the design, because it focuses on participants’ experiences and perceptions, which vary from one person to another based on their context, and therefore this process could alter the research study. According to Chun et al. (2019), the design aims to discover and construct theories from comprehensively acquired data and analyze it using a contingent analysis. The design is not effective in analyzing the monetary value of professional certifications for corporations.
