Please help me solve this question,

Management researchers are interested in understanding factors that are related to success of managers in for-profit businesses. You have been hired as a consultant to assist the researchers. As you start your work, develop a plan that addresses the following:

1. What is your clear definition of the problem?i.e., what is it that you would like to show with evidence from data and analysis?
2. What data would you collect? Identify and specify the variables (so that they can be measured), list them including type and level, and specify why each variable is useful (or needed) for the study. List a few (made-up) values for each variable. Be very specific and to the point.
3. Present a plan, for collecting the data specified above, in the form of a series of specific instructions for someone else that would actually collect the data for you.
4. Provide a justification for your plan as it pertains to the quality of the variables that you selected (i.e., explain why you believe that the variables are the best ones to measure to address the issue raised in the study). You may contrast your variables with others (or other ways to measure the same variables) of lesser quality to make your point that yours are the best.
