DATA COLLECTION
PRIMARY & SECONDARY
INTRODUCTION
 Data collection is a term used to describe
a process of preparing and collecting data
 Systematic gathering of data for
a particular purpose from various
sources, that has been systematically
observed, recorded, organized.
 Data are the basic inputs to any decision
making process in business
PURPOSE OF DATA COLLECTION
 The purpose of data collection is-
 to obtain information
 to keep on record
 to make decisions
about important issues,
to pass information on
to others
CLASSIFICATION OF DATA

SECONDARY
DATA
PRIMARY DATA
 The data which are collected from the field under the
control and supervision of an investigator
 Primary data means original data that has been
collected specially for the purpose in mind
 This type of data are generally afresh and collected for
the first time
 It is useful for current studies as well as for future
studies
 For example: your own questionnaire.
Primary Research Methods & Techniques
Surveys
 Personal
interview
(intercepts)
 Mail
 In-house, self-
administered
 Telephone,
fax, e-mail, Web
Quantitative Data
Primary
Research
Experiments
Mechanical
observation
Simulation
Qualitative Data
Case studies
Human
observation
Individual depth
interviews
Focus groups
Primary Research Categories
 Quantitative Research
Numerical
Statistically reliable
Projectable to a broader population
Quantitative Research Categories
 Sampling Methods:
 Random Samples – equal chance of anyone
being picked
 May select those not in the target group –
indiscriminate
 Sample sizes may need to be
Large to be representative
 Can be very expensive
Quantitative Research Categories
 Stratified or Segment Random
Sampling
Samples on the basis of a
representative strata or segment
Still random but more focussed
May give more relevant information
May be more cost effective
Quantitative Research Categories
 Quota Sampling
 Again – by segment
 Not randomly selected
 Specific number on each segment are interviewed,
etc.
 May not be fully representative
 Cheaper method
Qualitative Research Categories
 Qualitative Research
In-depth, insight generating
Non-numerical
‘Directional’
 Common Techniques
Personal interviews (depth, one-on-
one)
Focus groups (8-12) and mini-groups
(3-6)
METHODS
 OBSERVATION METHOD
Through personal
observation
 PERSONAL INTERVIEW
Through Questionnaire
 TELEPHONE INTERVIEW
Through Call outcomes, Call
timings
 MAIL SURVEY
Through Mailed
Questionnaire
SECONDARY DATA
 Data gathered and recorded by someone else prior to
and for a purpose other than the current project
 Secondary data is data that has been collected for
another purpose.
 It involves less cost, time and effort
 Secondary data is data that is being reused. Usually in
a different context.
 For example: data from a book.
SOURCES
 INTERNAL SOURCES
Internal sources of secondary data are
usually for marketing application-
 Sales Records
Marketing Activity
Cost Information
Distributor reports and feedback
Customer feedback
SOURCES
 EXTERNAL SOURCES
External sources of secondary data are usually
for Financial application-
Journals
Books
Magazines
Newspaper
Libraries
The Internet
Advantages & Disadvantages of
Primary Data
 Advantages
 Targeted Issues are addressed
 Data interpretation is better
 Efficient Spending for Information
 Decency of Data
 Proprietary Issues
 Addresses Specific Research Issues
 Greater Control
Advantages & Disadvantages of
Primary Data
 Disadvantages
 High Cost
 Time Consuming
 Inaccurate Feed-backs
 More number of resources is required
Advantages & Disadvantages of
Secondary Data
 Advantages
 Ease of Access
 Low Cost to Acquire
 Clarification of Research Question
 May Answer Research Question
Disadvantages & Disadvantages of
Secondary Data
 Disadvantages
 Quality of Research
 Not Specific to Researcher’s Needs
 Incomplete Information
 Not Timely
