3. RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
Research methodology is a way to systematically solve the research problem.
3.1 RESEARCH DESIGN
A research design is the arrangement of the conditions for the collection and analysis ofdata in a manner that aims to combine relevance to the research purpose with economy inprocedure. The researcher used both descriptive and analytical type of research design for hisresearch study. The main objective of using descriptive research is to describe the state of affairsas it exits at present. It mainly involves surveys and fact finding enquiries of different kinds. Theresearcher used descriptive research to discover the characteristics of customers. Descriptiveresearch also includes demography characteristic of consumer who use the product.

Descriptive research:
The study is based on descriptive research descriptive research includes surveys and fact-finding enquiries of different kinds. The major purpose of descriptive research is description ofstate of affairs, as it exists as present. The main characteristics of this method are that theresearcher has no control over the variables; he can only report what has happened or what ishappening. The methods of research utilized in descriptive research are survey methods of allkinds, including comparative and correlation methods.
3.2 Methods of data collection:
The study is carried out with the help of the following methods of collection.1. Primary data2. Secondary data
Primary data:
I have collected the primary data through the structured questionnaire.
Research instrument: The Structured questionnaire is used as the research instrument for thestudy.
Questionnaire Design: The questionnaire framed for the research study is a structuredquestionnaire in which all the questions are predetermined before conducting the survey. The formof question is of both closed and open type.
The scales used to evaluate questions are:Dichotomous scale (Yes or No)Likert 5 point scale (Highly satisfied, satisfied, Neither Satisfied nor dissatisfied, Dissatisfied,Highly dissatisfied)Category scale (Multiple items) Ranking type (R1, R2, R3)
The questionnaire for the research was framed in a clear manner such that itenables the respondents to understand and answer the question easily. Thequestionnaire was designed in such a way that the questions are short and simple and is arrangedin a logical manner.
Secondary data:
The secondary data are gathered from various sources such as websites, books, newspapers,journals, magazines etc.
4. SAMPLING DESIGN
A Sample design is a definite plan for obtaining a sample from a given population. It
is the procedure used by the researcher in selecting items for the sample.

Sample size=125 samples, variance and confidence methods are used fordetermining sample size.
4.1 Sampling Technique:
Convenience sampling (sometimes known as grab or opportunity sampling) is a type ofnonprobability sampling which involves the sample being drawn from that part of the populationwhich is close to hand. That is, a sample population selected because it is readily available andconvenient.
It may be through meeting the person or including a person in the sample when one meets themor chosen by finding them through technological means such as the internet or through phone.The researcher using such a sample cannot scientifically make generalizations about the totalpopulation from this sample because it would not be representative enough.
5. STATISTICAL TOOLS AND TECHNIQUES
5.1 PERCENTAGE ANALYSIS:
Percentage refers to a special kind of ratio. Percentages are used in making comparison betweentwo or more series of data. Percentages are used to describe relationships. Percentages can alsobe used to compare the relative terms, the distribution of to be more series of data with a giventable, it was difficult to interpret the table with absolute figures but when percentages are used, it isvery easy to find the relative differences in distributions.
Percentage = (No. of respondents/ total no. of respondents)*100
5.2 WEIGHTED AVERAGE METHOD:
Formula:
Mean score = total score/no of respondents.
Where total score = no of respondents*weighted average
5.3 CHI SQUARE TEST:
Chi-square test is a non parametric test used most frequently by marketing researchers to test thehypothesis. This test is employed for testing hypothesis when distribution of population is notknown and when nominal data is to be analyzed.
Chi-square test aims at determining whether a significant difference exists among the graphs orwhether the differences are due to sampling. Chi-square test is similar to T test in which thedegrees of freedom increase, where the distribution becomes more symmetrical and resemblesthe normal curve. The following is the formula for calculating chi-square test.

H1 - There is a relationship between Feedback/Recognitions and Rewards.
Decision rate:
If calculated value > tabulated value accept Hl - alternate hypothesis.
If calculated value < tabulated value accept Ho - null hypothesis.

Degrees of freedom = (no. of rows -1) X (no. of column-1)

= 2X2 = 4
Calculated value of = 6.064
P( >=6.064) = 0.1944 on 4 degrees of freedom
This indicates that there is no associate between Feedback/Recognitions and Rewards.
Interpretation:
Since calculated value is greater than tabulated value, so we accept H1 and reject
Ho . Hence there is a significant relationship between the cost of Online Office application and
interest to use Online Office applications.
4.2 Chi Square-2: Awareness Vs Acceptance:
Aim:
To determine whether there is any association between the awareness about Online Officeapplication and acceptance level of Online Office application as an alternative for Offline officeapplications.
Ho- There is no significant relationship between awareness and acceptance.
H1-There is a relationship between the awareness and acceptance.
Decision rate:-
If calculated value > tabulated value accept Hl- alternate hypothesis.
If calculated value < tabulated value accept Ho null hypothesis.
