advertising and non advertising. At some time periods there are heavier

promotional expenditures and at others there may be no advertising.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

Research means a search for knowledge. Research is an art of scientific

investigation. It is a careful investigation or inquiry especially through search for new

facts in any branch of knowledge.

Some people consider research as a movement, a movement from the known to

unknown. It is actually a voyage of discovery.

Research is an academic activity and as such the term should be used in a technical

sense. Research comprises defining and redefining problem, formulating hypothesis

or suggested solutions, collecting, organizing and evaluating data, making deductions

and reaching conclusions and at last carefully testing the conclusions to determine

whether they fit the formulated hypothesis.

Research Methodology is a way to systematically solve the research problem. It is a

science of studying how research is done scientifically.

For Example, an architect, who designs a building, has to consciously evaluate the

basis of his decisions i.e; he has to evaluate why and what basis he selects particular

size, number and location of doors, windows and ventilators, uses particular material

and not others and the like.

Similarly, in research the scientist has to expose the research decisions to evaluations

before they are implemented. He has to specify very clearly and precisely what

decisions he selects and why he selects them so that they can be evaluated by others

also.

TYPES OF RESEARCH

The basic types of research are as follows:

1. Descriptive vs. Analytical: Descriptive research includes survey and fact finding

equines of different kinds. The major purpose of descriptive research is

24


25/68

description of the state of affairs, as it exists at present. In social science and

affairs as it exists at present. In social and business research studies. The main

characteristic of the method is that the research has no control over the variable:

he can only report what has happened or what is happening. Most exposit factor

research projects are used for descriptive studies in which the researcher seeks to

measure such items.

2. Applied vs. Fundamental: Applied research aims at finding a solution for an

immediate problem facing a society of an industrial/business organization,

whereas fundamental research is mainly concerned with generalization and with

the formulation of a theory.

3. Conceptual vs. Empirical: Conceptual research is that related to some thinkers

to develop new concepts or to reinterpret existing ones. One the other hand,

empirical research relies on experiences or observation alone, often without due

regards for system and theory.

4. Some other Types of Research: Such research follows case study methods or

in-depth approaches to reach the basic causal relations. Such studies usually go

deep into the cause of things or events that interest us, using very small samples

and very deep probing data gathering devices. The research may be exploratory

or it may be formalized. Exploratory research is the development of hypothesis

rather than their testing, whereas formalized research studies and those with

substantial structure and with specific hypothesis to be tested.

25


26/68

Research Design

A research design is the arrangement of condition for collection and analysis of data in a

manner that aims to combine relevance to the research purpose with economy in

procedure.

Research design is divided into the following parts:

1. the sampling design- methods of selecting items to be observed

2. the observational design relates to the condition under which the

observations are to be made

3. Statistical design it is concerned with the observation and analysis of the

data.

4. The operational design the techniques by which the procedures like

sampling observational designs etc. can be carried out.

According to the nature of my research the present study is the Descriptive Research

because of the secondary data and their analysis is done is an important part of the

research.

26


27/68

SIGNIFICANCE OF RESEARCH

All progress is born of inquiry. Doubt is often better than over confidence for it

leads to inquiry, and inquiry leads to invention. Increased scientific and inductive

thinking and it promotes the development of logical habits of thinking and organization.

Research has its special significance in solving various operational and planning

problems of business and industry. Research, along with motivational research, are

business decisions, Market research is the investigation of the structure and development

of the market for the purpose of formulating efficient policies for purchasing, production

and sales.

27


28/68

COLLECTION OF DATA

Data can be colleted in two ways primary and secondary the data is used in this research

is secondary data. Secondary data is that data which is already available i.e the data

which have already been collected and analysed by someone else. This data may either be
