1.5A HYPOTHESES TESTING
The
purpose of hypotheses testing is to enable one making inference about
an unknown population parameter. We can define hypothesis as an
assumption or statement made well in advance of the observation (or
about collection of data) about what can be expected to occur concerning
one or more populations under stated or given conditions.
Such
assumption might be, true or false. A test performed in order to verify
whether a hypothesis is true or flase is called a test of hypothesis. A
qualify control manager must determine whether a process is working
properly.
Consequently, a statistical hypothesis is formulated for the purpose of rejecting it or accepting it.
These
assumptions of statements when accepted to be true they form policy
decisions, and laws. The process of testing these assumptions or
statement made in well advance of the observation is the hypothesis
testing.
NULL AND ALTERNATIVE HYPOTHESIS
The Null hypothesis is
central in research and is the hypothesis that is tested. It is stated
in a negative sense (assertion) form by the use of the words “No and
“Notâ€. The null hypothesis is the H0 and its and its alternative is HA
(Hi).
The statistical test of the null hypothesis, H0, may suggest
the rejection of the H0, at a particular level of significance and
degrees of freedom, as the case may be. The rejection of null hypothesis
signals an automatic acceptance or non-rejection of the alternative
hypothesis, HA. This is because both hypothesis are complementing as a
guide to the research to look for an alternative way of demonstrating
the relationship between the relevant variable should the null
hypothesis fail to be accepted.
1.5B HYPOTHESIS STATEMENTS
Null
Hypothesis (H0): That as in all other organizational management
functions, communication is important in the supply chain management.
Alternative
Hypothesis (Hi): That as in all other organizational management
functions, communication is not important in the supply chain
management.
1.6 SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY
This study will go a
long way to help me and other student in quest for knowledge along this
line, as well as purchasing and other professions in realizing how
important communication is in the supply chain management. Lastly this
study will be conducted to highlight the role of communication in supply
chain management, it will help shell and other organization that are
still in doubt as to the contributions of communication to effective,
efficient and timely managing supply chain.
1.7 SCOPE AND DELIMITATIONS OF STUDY
This
study involves the procurement department, registered suppliers and
other departments of shell petroleum development Nigeria limited any
generalization of the findings to other population is at best tenuous.
The
result of this study is based on one sample of respondents’ behaviors
at a specific time, probably at another time using the same instrument;
respondent behavior might be different. The assumption that respondents
would honestly and accurately answer the survey questions.
