Data Gathering Case Analysis

Decide what is the best data gathering approach would be for the selected scenario based on the principles identified: interviews, focus groups, surveys, observations, or unobtrusive measures.  If you select interviews, focus groups, or surveys, identify who would participate and how, and write the questions you would ask.  If you select observations, describe whom you would observe, for what length of time, and in what setting.  If you select unobtrusive measures, describe what data you wish to collect and how you would do so.  It is important to support and justify your choices using relevant insights from research.  Scenario: Recently, a number of employees have begun to file complaints against the managers in the production department.
