It seems that this should be chosen based on the framework which I will present as best practises at the end of this work.
Data for the analysis will be obtained from companies' sales managers, marketing managers, and sales officers, and from the researcher's personal knowledge and experience with sales management in the it industry. This will be compiled with the support of related literature from books, magazines, commercial and public databases, and the Internet.
Proposed analysis and presentation techniques to be used How will you analyse the data and present your findings? (100-150 words)
Survey research method: After preparing the survey questionnaire, it will be given to approximately 150 people in both my own organization and other organizations, with 100 of the questionnaires going to individuals within my own organization to ensure better response numbers and to allow me to have enough responses to conduct my research. I expect a response rate of approximately 90 to 95%. Those who are given the questionnaire will be manufacturers of different products not necessarily from the same industry, so that I can analyse the diversity of methods and approaches. The completed questionnaires will be compared and contrasted in the main body of the completed dissertation against quantitative findings. The results will be presented in both textual and graphical form and explained to finalize findings which will indicate what, if any, strategic sales management methods are the best options for both short-term revenue goals and long-term value creation.

This thesis has concentrated on a subject that has been an extremely large and leading one, that is, the managerial impact on small businesses and the underlying reasons being reluctance shown by small business managers to make use of information technology and Internet.

In other respects, however, the evidence does not readily conform to theoretical predictions. For example, if gross job turnover is taken as a rough proxy for labor market flexibility -- and since stringent EPL reduces both hiring and firing -- it is quite surprising to find that job turnover rates are very loosely related to EPL rankings. Most remarkably, not only are the estimates for Italy and France, at
The combination of such broad language and the paucity of any significant enforcement tools meant that these initiatives were largely ineffective. Not surprisingly, complaints from passengers increased by 200% within the year; furthermore, flight delays continued to increase 12% faster in the first five months of 2000 than in the same period in 1999. "Indeed, in the twelve months following the airlines' voluntary promises, flight delays cost business travelers 5
