CHAPTER 4- RESEARCH METHODOLOGY AND LIMITATIONS
All the findings and conclusions obtained are based on the survey done in the working area
within the time limit. I tried to select the sample representative of the whole group during
my
summer training. I have collected data from people linked with different professional at
Gorakhpur.
4.1 RESEARCH PLAN:
4.1.1. PRELIMINARY INVESTIGATION:
Research was initiated by examining the secondary data to gain insight into the problem. By
analyzing the secondary data, the study aim is to explore the short comings of the present
system
and primary data will help to validate the analysis of secondary data besides on unrevealing
the
areas which calls for improvement.
4.2.1 DEVELOPING THE RESEARCH PLAN:
The data for this research project has been collected through self Administration. Due to
time
limitation and other constraints direct personal interview
method is used. A structured questionnaire was framed as it is
less time consuming, generates specific and to the point
information, easier to tabulate and interpret. Moreover respondents prefer to give direct
answers.
In questionnaires open ended and closed ended, both the types of questions has been used.
4.2.2 COLLECTION OF DATA:
1: SECONDARY DATA: It was collected from internal sources. The secondary data was
collected on the basis of organizational file, official records, news papers, magazines,
management books, preserved information in the company’s database and website of the
company.
2: PRIMARY DATA: All the people from different profession were personally visited and
interviewed. They were the main source of Primary data. The method of collection of
primary
data was direct personal interview through a structured questionnaire.
4.3 SAMPLING PLAN: Since it is not possible to study whole universe, it becomes necessary
to take sample from the universe to know about its characteristics.
4.4 SAMPLE SIZE: My sample size for this project was 50 respondents. Since it was not
possible to cover the whole universe in the available time period, it was necessary for me to
take
a sample size of 50 respondents.
It was not possible to understand thoroughly about the different marketing aspects of the
Financial Consultant within 60 days. As stipend, money was not given it was difficult to
continue
the project work. All the work was limited in some limited areas of Gorakhpur so the findings
should not be generalized. The area of research was Gorakhpur and it was too vast an area
to
cover within 60 days.
