In the case of the Wal-Mart employees and the lawsuit against the organization for discrimination, determining the appropriate sampling size is somewhat tricky. There is no specific or definitive size that should be sampled in different situations. The sample size that is needed mainly based on what research has to be done and what answers and data is being looked for. Solely, sampling size is determined by what the organization hopes to achieve with the study, and the resources that are available. The lawsuit against Wal-Mart, the suit filed on behalf of 1.5 million current and former female employees of Wal-Mart says the company had a pattern of discrimination in pay raises and promotions. So to determine the appropriate sampling size, there must be certain groups and certain locations and populations in those specific locations. When there is the sampling of individuals or groups involved in lawsuit, there can be a specific sampling size that can be determined based on what information is needed for the case. Can the individual circumstances of 1.5 million different people accurately be combined into one coherent class for proper sampling? The specific results for the sampling of all of these individuals’ circumstances can take so much time but, the results can determine whether or not Wal-Mart would be indefinitely under fire. The answers can affect the corporate and legal aspect of this organization. Sampling sizes can vary depending on how much research needs to be done and how much data has to be collected. When dealing with an organization as big as Wal-Mart, taking any type of survey or doing any type of sampling is something that has to be done thoroughly and even though there may be millions of billion to be interviewed, it must be one in order to get the correct amount of data to create a case. The sampling size that would be appropriate would be to collect information from several locations from several different employees.
