In appendix 1, a summary of the research project stages have been provided.
Costs of research
In the contemporary research focus, different resources would be used in various activities. According to Wagner (2020), the rationale of using resources is guided by the fact that the different activities would be put in place for this research. For example, other than facilitation of the different respondents of the current research in answering the questionnaire, costs of subscription to the software being used will also attract costs. According to Survey Monkey (2022), planning and costing of the use of survey monkey, an identification of team advantage would be sourced at $25. Also, in order to ensure that the researcher is well positioned for analysis of data, SPSS technique is applicable. By doing this, accessing the software imply they are continuously available and not limited. Nevertheless, for the various respondents, they would not be paid to facilitate their participation in the current research. Their inclusion is hence basically for their freedom and readiness. Further, for those unwilling in taking part in the research would not face any fines or charges.

- Based on the study, Woolworths have to reduce their annual costs, and this may be supported by automation of as many processes as possible and this will also improve their efficiency and effectiveness levels.
- Woolworths also has made significant efforts in categorising its products and managing supply and other risks by having a wide pool of suppliers.
- Further, the introduction of online shopping has greatly boosted their market reach and their competitiveness.
- Woolworths also has to consider grouping all its purchases into categories. This will greatly ease the amounts spent on buying individual items since bulk purchases allow for great discounts due to the economies of scale.
- Further, category management will ensure that the entire supply chain is managed effectively and efficiently with minimal instances of supply chain disruptions.
- Woolworths also must prioritise its stakeholders and acknowledge the role that each stakeholder plays and how this contributes significantly to the overall growth of the firm.
- Stakeholders have to be informed and involved when major decisions are to be made as this will enrich the strategies, contributions and suggestions brought forward.
- Stakeholder analysis is also key to maintain the stakeholder relations which improves not only the reputation of Woolworths but also the market share of Woolworths. This gives them a niche in their market.
