Assumptions, Limitation and Delimitation

Van Daal, Lesterhuis, Coertjens, Donche, & De Maeyer(2019), defined assumptions as a presumption that academic researchers assumed to be true, but cannot actually be verified. The premises in a research study element that may have an impact on the outcome of the research study. I assume that the participants in this study have credibility, honesty, skill, ethical and moral judgment to provide reliable information; the investment leaders have sufficient experience and knowledge about the investment decision making processes to help achieve this research study. Finally, I assume that the investment decision makers would voluntarily provide vital information that could assist me with investment decision making processes strategies for increasing investment return and performance to achieve the research study effectively.

Limitations

Brutus, Aguinis, and Wassmer (2013), an Yeatman, Trinitapoli, Hayford (2013),&Towns. (2019). stated that the limitations were possible weaknesses of the study that remain beyond the researcher’s control. There are various limitation to this research including the limited access to all data, insufficient sample size for statistical measurement instrument,the time constraint and coast for investment decision makers ,and conflict that may arise from culture bias while meeting with investment managers. In sum, methodology and design selection, the data reliability, validity and accuracy may be an additional limitation for this study.

Delimitations

Delimitations are the characteristics limiting the scope and boundaries of a study (Crossman & Kazdin, 2016). Delimitation results from specific choices including objective ,research question, variable interest ,theoretical framework, and the participant selection( Simon, & Goes, 2013). The goal of this research study is to examine the relationship between investment decision making processes strategies for increasing investment return and performance. One delimitation is the focus on a particular industry in north eastern of the United States. Another delimitation is the focus on the particular decision makers .

The authors of this report analyze the financial experiences of nonemployee SME owners that purchase health insurance through the individual markets for themselves or members of their families. The source presents findings that health insurance premiums have grown significantly over the past years. What is more, the findings of the report provide insight into the decisions of small business owners as well as a unique outlook on the health insurance premiums and how they are related to other operating expenses that small business owners usually face.

In particular, the authors of the report claim that under the ACA, more Americans were able to gain health coverage under their employers. Nevertheless, the report also indicated the fact that small employers struggled to offer affordable coverages to employees. This source also provides information regarding new marketplaces, through which small business can purchase health plans. Therefore, the article will be used to analyze to which extent small businesses can provide health insurance coverages under the ACA.

In this paper, the authors of the study show that health coverage has a positive impact on labor productivity. The results show that a worker with health insurance misses fewer workdays per year. Regarding SMEs, this factor is crucial as, in most cases, those organizations employ a much lesser number of workers as compared with large organizations. Thus, the chosen source will be used to support the significance of the study as the importance of medical insurance cannot be underestimated for any organization, including SMEs.
