A case study is an in depth study of a particular situation rather than a sweeping statistical survey. It is a method used to narrow down a very broad field of research into one easily researchable topic. The researcher will have to do the case study of telecommunication
Longitudinal
Longitudinal study is an observational study that employs continuous or repeated measures to follow particular individuals over prolonged period of time often years or decades. Longitudinal study collects data that is either qualitative or quantitative in nature. In longitudinal study a survey creator is not interfering with survey respondents. Survey respondents are observed over a period of time ranging from months to even decades to observe any changes in them or their attitude.
Cross sectional
A cross-sectional study involves looking at people who differ on one key characteristic at one specific point in time. The data is collected at the same time from people who are similar in other characteristics but different in a key factor of interest such as age, income levels, or geographic location. Participants are usually separated into groups known as cohorts. This type of study uses different groups of people who differ in the variable of interest but who share other characteristics such as socioeconomic status, educational background, and ethnicity.

It aimed to explore the main ideas, perspectives, problems and issues related to the agency theory through a literature survey. It discussed the theoretical aspects of agency theory and the various concepts and issues related to it and documented empirical evidences on the mechanisms that diminish the agency cost.

In Kenya, the banking sector is a cut-throat business arena, with over 44 players among them are multinationals all scrambling for a slice of the market share. Ten of the 44 commercial banks in Kenya have operations in the foreign markets. The 10 banks account for a significant size of the Kenyan banking industry in terms of a composite market share index of net assets, total deposits, shareholders’ funds, number of loan accounts and number of deposit accounts. The research stream on strategic alliances in foreign market entry by commercial banks in Kenya is relatively novel and still under vivid scholarly debate
