 Research

The manipulation of things, concepts or

symbols for the purpose of generalizing to
extend, correct or verify knowledge whether
that knowledge aids in construction of theory
or in the practice of an art.
- D. Slessinger and M.Stephenson
 Research
Methodology

Research is a diligent and systematic inquiry

or investigation into a subject in order to
discover or revise facts, theories, applications
etc.
Methodology is system of methods followed
by a particular discipline. Thus it is the way how
we conduct our Research.
Types of Research

 Descriptive Research
 Applied Research
 Quantitative Research
 Qualitative Research
 Conceptual Research
 Empirical Research
 Descriptive
Research

I. It includes surveys and fact finding enquiries

of different kinds.
II. Description of affairs as it exits at present.
III. It reports what has happened? Or what is
happening?
Example: shopping mall
Qualitative Research
 Itaims to discover the underlying motives of
human behavior.
 Analyzes the various factors which motivate

people to behave in a particular manner or

which make people like or dislike a particular
thing.
Conceptual Research

 It is related to some abstract ideas or theory.

 Generally used by philosophers and thinkers

to develop new concepts.

 It is used to reinterpret existing ones.
Empirical Research
 It is data based research, coming up with
conclusions which are capable of being
verified by observation or experiment.
 It is necessary to go get at facts first hand.
Types of Data
Primary Data
 Observation Method
 Interview Method
 Questionnaire Method
 Schedules
Secondary Data
 Internal Secondary Data
 External Secondary Data
Primary Data
 Obtains during the course of doing
experiments
 Either through observation or through direct
communication.
 Observation Method
 Interview Method
 Questionnaire Method
 Depth interviews Method
Secondary Data
Collected from previous researches and
literature to fill in the respective project.
 Internal Secondary Data
 External Secondary Data
Internal Secondary Data
 SalesAnalysis
 Customer Analysis
 Product Analysis
 Time Analysis
External Secondary Data
 Libraries
 Literature
 Periodicals
 Government departments
 Private sources
 Commercial data
 Advertising agencies
A portion, piece, or segment that is
representative of a whole. A small part of
anything, intended as representative of the
whole.
Sampling

The act or process of selecting a sample for

testing, analyzing etc. .
Sampling Methods
Probability Sampling
 Random Sampling
 Systematic Sampling
 Stratified Sampling
 Cluster Sampling
Non Probability Sampling
 Convenience Sampling
 Judgment Sampling
 Quota Sampling
 Snow ball Sampling
 Dimensional Sampling
Probability Sampling

 This is one in which each person in the

population has the same probability/ chance
of being selected.
 Samples that have this quality are often

labeled as EPSM(Equal Probability of Selection

Method)
Random Sampling
o A way of selecting the
sample is by means of a
table of random numbers.
o SRS can be with or with
out replacement.
Systematic Sampling
In this sampling each
element in the population
has the same chance of
being selected from the
sample.
 Cluster sampling

This is where all the

elements in selected
clusters are introduced in
the sample.
Usually the sampling unit
contains more than one
population element.
Stratified Sampling

The function of stratification is to organize

the population into homogeneous subsets
and to select from each.
Non- Probability Sampling
Types:
 Quota sampling
 Purposive sampling
 Snow ball sampling
 Dimensional sampling
Quota Sampling
Selects quotas to represent sub-population
Purposive/ Judgmental Sampling

Selecting sample on the

basis of knowledge of
the research problem to
allow selection of typical
persons for inclusion in
the sample.
Snow ball Sampling

This is where researchers solicit help from

respondents in identifying the population
under study.
