Methodology
In planning and designing a specific research project, it is necessary to anticipate all the steps that must be undertaken if the project is to be successful in collecting valid and reliable information.
Research Design
The research design is the determination and statement of general research approach of strategy adopted for the particular product. It is the heart of the planning which the design adheres to the research objected which will ensure that the needs will be served. My study is based on Descriptive Research as it is invested to produce accurate descriptive of various relevant to the decision faced without demonstrating that some relationship exist within variable. It is used to measure the behavior variables of people of subject who are under the study.
The research undertaken was descriptive research in nature. The emphasis was made to understand the nature and the expectations of the customers.
SAMPLE
SAMPLING TECHNIQUES
The type of sampling that was carried out was probability (convenience) Sampling due to limited resources available.
In non-probability sampling, I have chosen RANDOM sampling. Because this was best sampling method to do market survey. On the other aspect, to cover all consumers in Ghaziabad was easy task.
SAMPLE SIZE
The total number of these selected persons is called sample size. In this case, study sample units are Two Hundred Eighty Two.
SAMPLE AREA: Ghaziabad (Raj Nagar, Rajendra Nagar, Nehru Nagar, G.T. Road)
DATA COLLECTION METHOD
Collecting the data
Primary data
Secondary data
Primary data:
Through survey researcher obtains primary data directly from the Reader through following method.
Observation method.
Interview method.
Questionnaires.
Observation method:
Researcher went to the dealer’s showroom and service center and even parking places. Researcher directly observes the customers researcher with out asking any question. Here researcher found most of the customer was empty buying behavior.
Interview Method:
Researcher went to the service center and parking places and collects the data through personal interview.
SURVEY INSTRUMENTS
Research’s instrument is questionnaires for collecting the primary data. This is very common and flexible instrument.
Through Questionnaires:
Researcher collects most of the data through questionnaires; researcher went to the consumers and requested them to fill the questionnaires.
Secondary data:
Times of India
Hindustan Times
The Hindu
Economics Times
Through Magazines
Business India
Auto Express
Business India
Auto India
LIMITATIONS
In my survey, I have taken a sample size of 282 customers, but only with these samples I can’t make a proper conclusion.
Time for this project is not sufficient. As I go for the survey at the dealership then time for completing and filling the questionnaires is not sufficient.
The study was conducted in GHAZIABAD only. Hence, the study may not be useful for projection of behavioral aspect of consumers living in other cities.
Budget and finance are always been constraints in doing any project.
