...APPLICATION OF THE QUALITATIVE PROCESS 1.1General introduction and problem formulation Most authors on research methodology stress the importance of pinpoint specific problem/problems, questions or hypothesis/hypotheses as soon as researchable topic has been identified (De Vos, 2005:100). In this document the researcher reported the realities of street hawkers on street corners. According to Lund, Nicholson and Skinner (2000:10) “people who work in the informal economy are those who earn an income outside the formal economy. The researcher chooses to investigate this topic because so little is known. The researcher noticed that poverty is one of the causes that lead people to be street hawker. She also discovers that working as a street hawker is challenging unstable for example sometimes street hawkers experience harassment or abuse. She also discovers that the term “street vendors” in English is typically used interchangeably with “street trader” “hawker” and “Peddler” (Inclusive cities.2012). The researcher also noticed that street hawkers contribute to the economy of the country. For example they alleviate poverty by treating their own jobs. The researcher used qualitative research approach to investigate the topic. Qualitative research approach is when the researcher attempt to study human action from perspective of the social actors themselves, the goal of the research is to describe and understand rather than explaining human behaviour (Babbie, 2001:270).

...organizational culture, its benefits and weaknesses before starting employment is one of the most important necessities. This helps a person to find out if they might be a good fit for the company and if that company will satisfy their personal values and beliefs. For me, as a future accountant in the professional public firm, some of the most important characteristics are ethical values and their practices within the company. I am very interested in learning how ethical values promoted by professional accountants’ impact organizational culture, how organizational culture affects accountants’ ethical judgments and how espoused organizational cultures influence public accounting firms. To analyze and look deeper into these issues, I evaluated and studied the following articles: Daniela, Ţogoe Greti, Mateş Dorel, and Mănescu Dragotoiu Mileva Valentina. Impact of Ethical Values Promoted by Professional Accountants on the Organizational Culture. Annals of the University Of Oradea, Economic Science Series 22.1 (2013): 1280-1285.

...the internet marketing are agree, that there are several ways to create a really profitable internet business. However not all people manage to create… The question why? Through my business experience I gained knowledge in this field and noticed some facts that are the main keys to success. And by this article I decided to share my experience with you. So the first point is : Traffic – Key To Success? This question has been bothering me recently. Many people nowadays who are connected to the internet marketing argue about this thing. The question is “will traffic increase your profit?” Probably all will agree with me, that traffic is responsible for your profit. So in other words : No Traffic – No sales. Simple, isn’t it? However sometimes traffic doesn’t bring a good sum of sales. Probably because it’s not the targeted traffic. You should spend your time more on increasing the one you need. In other words: When you decide how to develop your internet business keep that in mind, that not just the traffic is success, but a targeted one… Second interesting point is : Good Key Word and Niche research. Mostly all merchants and other people, who are involved with the internet marketing, know that without qualitative key word research and niche research it is impossible to build really strong and successful internet business. But It really takes sum of time to make a good research. And all we know that the time costs MONEY. However, not so long ago the new software called IMEYE...
