1.8 LIMITATIONS OF THE STUDY
Some limitations and factors in this research study are as follows:-
i. The time required for the research and the submission of this work
is very short and the researcher was unable to go through all
manufacturing companies.
ii. Financial constraints:-Finance which is the most important
resource for this work was not readily available.
iii. Limited exeat:-Due to the fact that exeat is very difficult to get in
school, proper research was not carried out and this affected the
integrity of the results achieved.
iv. Unco-operative attitudes of some of my respondents:- The
management of Ama Breweries prohibited its employees from
giving out information about the company to outsiders without
adequate permission from the management and even when this
permission was obtained at the long run, many vital information
were not revealed because they were regarded as the privacy of the
company.
