HOW RESEARCH WAS CONDUCTED
When the time came to begin the research it was determined that the most objective way to measure the results would be to observe each department individually and record the results.
The researcher was introduced to each department manager who was aware of the study though no one else being observed was told the purpose of the observation.

The sample was picked because of the validity that such a diverse range of backgrounds would provide.
