RESEARCH METHODOLOGY (CHAPTER 2) Research methodology is a way to systematically solve research problem.

It may be understood as a science of studying how research is done scientifically. In it we study the various steps that are generally adopted by a researcher in studying his research problem along with the logic behind them. It is necessary for the researcher to know not only need to know how to develop certain indices or tests, how to calculate, how to apply particular research techniques, but they also need to know which of these methods or techniques ,are relevant and which are not, and what would they indicate and why. The research frame for the study is detailed below. It is necessary to explain the methodology for the research work done. The purpose of research is to discover answers to question through some specific procedure. The aim of research is to find out the truth which is hidden or which has not been discovered as yet. While conducting this research I have mainly used primary data and some sources of secondary data also. The main purpose of this chapter is to present the method and procedure used in execution and conduction of this study. In order to facilitate the presentation this chapter is divided into following section. .Defining the problem. .Selection method. .Research Design. .Sample Design .Data collection. .Analyze the information. .Presentation of finding. .Defining the problem: It is said ,A problem well defined is half solved.The step is to define the project under study and deciding the research objective. Until unless the problem is defined we can not solve the problem. In the case of my study I have a problem of information and accurate data. Company needs reliable data which will helpful to them while they are producing the fabric.

Selection method:
The present study is not subjected to experimentation. A survey method was adopted to carry out the research. I m also thinking about questionnaire method if it will be required to do my study more effective.

Preparing research design:

A research design is the arrangement of conditions for collecting and analysis of data in a manner that aims to combine relevance to the research purpose. Research Design is the conceptual structure within which research is conducted. Research design includes the outline of what the researcher will do from writing the hypothesis and its operational implications to the final analysis of data. A research design is the framework of the study and used as a guide in collecting and analyzing the data.

Determining sample design:

*Universe: All the items under consideration in any field of inquiry constitute a universe or population.The relevant universe in this case is Ludhiana and it consist of other trader and garmenter where a comparative study was conducted. *Sample size : A random sample of 25 respondents has been drawn having a business of business house and making of garments. *Sampling technique:- Depending on the size of the of the industry. I most probably use the convenient sampling.

Data Collection:
There are two sources of data collection: . Primary Sources . Secondary Sources.

Technique: a) Primary Sources: Primary Data is the data collected from the original
source. In my survey and study there was optimum availability of primary data because every witness was witnessed carefully at each point. The data collection has been done by interviewing respondents through structured Questionnaire.

b) Secondary sources
: Secondary Data is the one which has already been collected by someone else and some other person is using that information.The source of secondary data was books and web sites related to the company.

Analyze the information:

The next step is to extract the finding from the collected data.

Presentation of finding:
This is the last and important step in the research process in the form of graphs, pie chart, conclusion, suggestion and recommendations after data analysis.
