Michelle Rogat Revised Study Components/Research Methods


 * __**Phenomenological Research -**__ through interviewing people across the hospitality industry and surrounding it that have worked on sustainable projects, see if they have same experiences with issues and what helped the projects to succeed
 * noticed anyway that most of the interview questions for the separate interviewees would repeat, and this was why
 * __**Add to Literature Review of Ethnography -**__ discuss broad cultural trends in sustainability and of the hospitality industry over time and use this to provide background for research, and then add on a status report of what's going on now, and what needs to happen in the future in order to surpass issues and promote sustainability
 * __**Case Study -**__ immerse myself in a case study I proposed and got approval for at the country club, which is to work alongside employees/management to transition certain aspects of the club towards sustainable practices, while participating and observing to gain first hand knowledge of real life scenarios.
 * __**Grounded Theory -**__ from all of these there should emerge reoccurring themes of issues and advice related to the success of sustainable projects, these will be the main result of research and will be theories that are grounded in the view of the participants, myself included.
