- 0:14hello learners i am dr subhad kesharwani
- 0:16working with india gandhi national open
- 0:18university in school of management
- 0:19studies
- 0:20being a course coordinator of this
- 0:22particular course called research
- 0:23methodology and statistical analysis
- 0:25i am going to talk today on the curtain
- 0:28is on the preamble part of business
- 0:29research
- 0:30which revolves around you know what
- 0:32exactly the research is
- 0:33what is business research and what
- 0:36exactly the research methodology is
- 0:37because
- 0:38when you go more into the depth of this
- 0:39research methodology you
- 0:41you have to find out that mythology is
- 0:43nothing but a pedagogy
- 0:45it's a it's a it's a modus operandi it's
- 0:47a procedure by which the research is
- 0:48going to be done
- 0:50as far as this particular course is
- 0:51concerned which is
- 0:53part of our mcom program that is
- 0:56a master of commerce and the the course
- 1:00code is
- 1:00mco3 research methodology and
- 1:02statistical analysis
- 1:03so if you go more into the depth of this
- 1:05particular course
- 1:06you will find out that that this this
- 1:09particular
- 1:10course mco3 talks about research
- 1:12methodology and
- 1:13the the various analysis which are
- 1:16fruitful as far as the research is
- 1:18concerned because today research is
- 1:20somewhat more talking about the the
- 1:22statistics
- 1:23and you know the literature reviews and
- 1:25the more use of technology so
- 1:28technology is something something which
- 1:30could be
- 1:32softwares which are which are going to
- 1:35you know
- 1:35facilitate the researchers or the
- 1:37learners in
- 1:38in building the data and when you
- 1:42go more into the depth of the data you
- 1:43will find out that
- 1:45there are various kinds of data they are
- 1:46the data which are secondary data
- 1:49considered to be you know
- 1:50available and they on the other hand the
- 1:52first hand data which used to be
- 1:54collected
- 1:55by the by the researchers so when you go
- 1:57more into the depth of this research
- 1:58methodology you will find out that
- 2:00this research methodology is going to
- 2:02talk about various aspects so
- 2:04when we are going more into the depth of
- 2:06the business research we
- 2:08see business research is one of the
- 2:09ingredients of the research and the
- 2:11research is something
- 2:12which is which is uh which is a very old
- 2:14phenomena and
- 2:16and it was you know it is a very
- 2:20long time affairs and and was there from
- 2:23the from the very first day
- 2:24so but but uh later at the latest stage
- 2:27what we observed that
- 2:28that the business the corporate house
- 2:30the e-commerce portals
- 2:31or we talked about you know uh the
- 2:33academicians
- 2:34are are now using the research in a more
- 2:36massive manner
- 2:37the intention is very clear that
- 2:39whatever the gap is there on the basis
- 2:41of the gap
- 2:42the first and information need to be
- 2:44extracted and that and
- 2:45and those first-hand information are are
- 2:49you know used for the for this purpose
- 2:52so anyway if we
- 2:54if you go and talk more about this this
- 2:56particular
- 2:58paper that is research methodology in
- 3:00statistical analysis
- 3:01it is bifurcated into five blocks and
- 3:05each block consists of four to five
- 3:06units so in total we have got
- 3:08uh 18 to 20 chapters and the the first
- 3:12block
- 3:12the first blocks talks about you know
- 3:14the research and data collection so
- 3:17when you go and talk more about the
- 3:18research research is
- 3:20some someone say it's an art it's in
- 3:22science so while going into
- 3:24the detailed definition of the research
- 3:26you will see how
- 3:27the research is is changing with the
- 3:29change of time the
- 3:30how the technology is changing the
- 3:31research how technology is you know
- 3:33facilitating the humans
- 3:35or you know the computer applications
- 3:36which are definitely going to add a
- 3:38feather in a cap
- 3:39and by that you know the research had
- 3:41gone in a different shape so
- 3:43it's when technology enters into
- 3:45research it's bring a paradigm shift
- 3:47and how that shift is you know helping
- 3:49the society by and large
- 3:51or you know the individual or the
- 3:52students or the teachers or the
- 3:54academicians or the education industry
- 3:56so research is something which is which
- 3:59is uh need of an r and
- 4:00everywhere you find out that that this
- 4:03is uh this is an important ingredient
- 4:05as far as you know the the footfall of
- 4:08the
- 4:09company is concerned or you know the
- 4:11movement is concerned so
- 4:12we will we will talk about various
- 4:14aspects how the research is
- 4:16what exactly the definition of the
- 4:18research is and when you are going to
- 4:20link with the
- 4:21business how it is going to become more
- 4:23fruitful
- 4:24and how it is helping to the corporate
- 4:26world or you know the business or
- 4:28to the e-commerce industry because the
- 4:31commerce industry had changed a lot and
- 4:34as far as our commerce graduates are
- 4:36concerned or the common students are
- 4:37concerned or you know the masters
- 4:40in commerce students are concerned those
- 4:41who are pursuing their m com
- 4:43they they the great use because if you
- 4:45have a
- 4:47backbone of research ultimately once you
- 4:49complete accomplish your
- 4:51post graduate degree and move into you
- 4:52know the further studies like you know
- 4:55the doctoral programs or the anfield or
- 4:56phd you will find out
- 4:58that there is a great use of research
- 4:59because because this
- 5:01if you have a knack of research
- 5:02methodology ultimately very easily you
- 5:04can
- 5:06you can you know work on it and excel
- 5:09your research and finally
- 5:10this can lead to uh to the first hand
- 5:13information so we will throw a light on
- 5:15various aspects this is
- 5:17this is the the preamble chapter which
- 5:19just talks about the curtain laser of
- 5:21to business research and gradually you
- 5:23will find out we are going to talk more
- 5:24about you know the various aspects
- 5:26which are which are you know helping and
- 5:29and facilitating the
- 5:30the researchers or the technocrats in
- 5:32doing a research
- 5:33so the first blocks talks about research
- 5:35and data collection
- 5:36and when you talk about the data
- 5:38collection data collection is could be
- 5:40you know
- 5:40the collection of secondary data or the
- 5:42primary data and when we go more into
- 5:44the depth of primary data you find out
- 5:46that this is the data which which need
- 5:48to be you know need to be in first-hand
- 5:50manner and
- 5:50collected from from the respondents and
- 5:53for that there are certain procedures we
- 5:55will definitely throw a light on that
- 5:56that how the data collection procedure
- 5:58started you know
- 6:00framing the gap then finding out the
- 6:01objective and finally you know
- 6:03putting floating the is to the
- 6:06respondents and once respondents you
- 6:07know reciprocate
- 6:08then we accumulate all those data or
- 6:10collect the data and finally what happen
- 6:12then start you know using the data or
- 6:15reframing the data
- 6:16or customize the data as per our need
- 6:18and utility so this is this is where you
- 6:21find out
- 6:22the data collection is going to play a
- 6:23very important role and there are
- 6:25certain
- 6:25procedures there are certain modus
- 6:27operandi which navigate you know
- 6:29the researchers or the or the individual
- 6:32to
- 6:32to collect the data it's not like that
- 6:35you can just
- 6:36you know frame the objectives and on
- 6:39on the basis of that you know put
- 6:41certain question is because
- 6:43if you talk in the today's scenario the
- 6:45data
- 6:47is very gigantic in nature it's it's
- 6:49having a you know
- 6:51a a huge shape so how you're going to
- 6:54extract the information from that data
- 6:56because
- 6:57when you are when you are going to
- 6:58extract when you are going to narrow
- 7:00down or
- 7:01extract the data it's really a very
- 7:04cumbersome process because
- 7:05because the data is in in lags in in
- 7:08thousands or in bull in billions
- 7:10how we are going to how you are going to
- 7:12narrow down how you are going to filter
- 7:14down that is more important so what i
- 7:15mean to say that uh
- 7:18this this kind of model need to be taken
- 7:20care in a quite contemporary manner
- 7:22that and we are going to definitely
- 7:24touch on on all those aspects
- 7:26in a gradual manner because this is a
- 7:28six credit course of
- 7:29m.com and in this six credit course we
- 7:31are roughly having you know
- 7:3260 lectures which which are going to
- 7:35touch on the various aspects
- 7:37starting from you know the data
- 7:38collection literature review
- 7:40objectives hypothesis then sampling and
- 7:42universal is also there because
- 7:45when you're going to filter down that is
- 7:47more important because your
- 7:48your your universal is quite big and and
- 7:50your sample
- 7:51size could be something which could be
- 7:53feasible in nature so how you're going
- 7:54to do all those things
- 7:56that need to be taken care on the other
- 7:58hand there are certain faqs also
- 8:00which can definitely facilitates the
- 8:02learners to know
- 8:04that what are the questions what are
- 8:06certain questions which comes in their
- 8:07mind that
- 8:08how they are going to you know
- 8:11filter or or hit the particular domain
- 8:14so
- 8:14that we are going to touch again and
- 8:16processing and preservation of data how
- 8:18are going to preserve the data which is
- 8:19going to be useful
- 8:20so they are they are certain you know
- 8:21the technology which is there because
- 8:23again
- 8:24what i was talking about the data and
- 8:26analysis
- 8:27or you know the the nomenclature of data
- 8:30is changing with the change of time
- 8:31there was a time when data was just you
- 8:33know
- 8:33name email or mobile but right now the
- 8:36data is something over and over to that
- 8:38data is now real real-time data and when
- 8:40e-commerce companies or the commerce
- 8:42portals you know
- 8:43or you know the business tycoons try to
- 8:46analyze the consumer's
- 8:47perceptions in that case you know this
- 8:50this analysis is going to play a very
- 8:52important role because
- 8:53this analysis can provide them a roof
- 8:54provide them a platform that
- 8:56how they are going to know the taste
- 8:58about the consumers
- 8:59and on the basis of that that is where
- 9:01you know the business research is going
- 9:02to play a very important role
- 9:04because we have already talked in our
- 9:06preceding lectures
- 9:07that business is nothing but uh but you
- 9:10know how to
- 9:11how to you know and regulate how to
- 9:13integrate the consumers
- 9:15and the employees and finally you know
- 9:17the
- 9:18in the intention is to generate a profit
- 9:20so that
- 9:21the balance sheet of the company goes as
- 9:23far as the profit is concerned can go up
- 9:25so these are the ways by which the
- 9:27things are going relational and trend
- 9:28analysis
- 9:29there are certain trend analysis which
- 9:31are which can be which can known
- 9:33because future forecasting or you know
- 9:36the analysis
- 9:37there and what are the trends which are
- 9:39going to put the set
- 9:40because the very good example is the
- 9:42pandemic stage you know
- 9:43or the lockdown stage so if you start
- 9:45you know uh
- 9:47finding out that uh that the sectors
- 9:50which
- 9:50which had been deteriorated or the
- 9:52economy or the gdp had gone down
- 9:54what is the reason behind that and how
- 9:56and and now you see there are certain
- 9:58industries which are coming up
- 9:59during this lockdown periods like the
- 10:01automobile industry the the car industry
- 10:04market is going up day by day the reason
- 10:06is that there is no
- 10:07there is less use of public transport so
- 10:10people are you know depend on their own
- 10:13uh this personal transport so
- 10:16that is where it has had given a boost
- 10:18to the automobile industry
- 10:19agriculture industry is coming up in a
- 10:21in a brick manner and we have seen that
- 10:23the the sale of the tractors and sale of
- 10:25the other you know the equipments which
- 10:27are
- 10:27interlinked with the with the
- 10:28agriculture is going up so these are the
- 10:30relational things which are
- 10:32going to end so definitely we are going
- 10:34to talk on certain things
- 10:35there are certain tools there are
- 10:36certain parameters which need to be
- 10:38taken care
- 10:39and how this this trends are and
- 10:41relational
- 10:42analysis are changing that need to be
- 10:44important so probability and hypothesis
- 10:47testing is there and
- 10:48we are going to use and talk about you
- 10:50know certain probabilistic approaches
- 10:52and hypothesis testing is there because
- 10:54either it could be null or or alternate
- 10:56we will
- 10:57we will talk about all those things and
- 10:58then interpretation reporting
- 11:00that is more important because finally
- 11:02if you have
- 11:03started you know learning a literature
- 11:06or review the literature then
- 11:08the second part is the research
- 11:09methodology which talks about that
- 11:11how you go what could be the pedagogy
- 11:13and the third is the data collection
- 11:14then
- 11:15data interpretation and then putting all
- 11:17those things in a in a report format
- 11:20in a in a detailed project report
- 11:22because if you
- 11:23if you have done everything if you have
- 11:24collected a data you have done you know
- 11:27for
- 11:27you have uh you have exhaustively work
- 11:30on the
- 11:31primary data and collected some
- 11:33first-hand information but not able to
- 11:35put that thing in a
- 11:36in a proper shape in a in a reporting
- 11:38format or interpret this
- 11:40again this is not going to you know
- 11:42fulfill the things and
- 11:44and so best part is that one should
- 11:46always
- 11:47try to follow this this procedure so the
- 11:49intention behind this research
- 11:50methodology and strategic analysis is
- 11:52that
- 11:53that you know starting on a on a layer
- 11:56to layer basis the the tier one talks
- 11:58about research and data collection
- 12:00the tier two talks about process
- 12:01processing and preservation of data then
- 12:03relational and trend analysis
- 12:05probability in hypothesis testing and
- 12:07finally interpreting the other things
- 12:08and then
- 12:09putting and formulate all those things
- 12:10in a report format so if you if you see
- 12:12this particular thing
- 12:14this uh if you talk about the
- 12:16methodology
- 12:17mythology is if you if you go into the
- 12:20backdrop of this vent diagram you find
- 12:22out that
- 12:22philosophy is a system of belief and
- 12:25knowledge that provides
- 12:27global influential framework that is
- 12:28very true and philosophy is more about
- 12:30abstraction and knowledge
- 12:32thinking and attitude and if you see the
- 12:34the bigger circle
- 12:35starts from you know the philosophy
- 12:37which is just nothing but a concept
- 12:39building
- 12:40when we are going to start a research or
- 12:42initiate our research
- 12:43we we are in the inception stage we
- 12:46just try to explore many things
- 12:50and as far as exploring like exploring
- 12:53of literatures the various literatures
- 12:55if i am going to do my research on on
- 12:57e-commerce
- 12:58or so i i will start you know learning
- 13:01many things about the e-commerce what
- 13:02could be the pedagogy of e-commerce how
- 13:04this e-commerce is going to
- 13:06work and who are the players who are
- 13:07dominating this e-commerce business
- 13:10blah blah blah so this is nothing but
- 13:12you know
- 13:13give individual about about the basic
- 13:15framework so philosophy talks about
- 13:18that basic framework because once you go
- 13:20through the basic framework then
- 13:21only you can uh you can able to know
- 13:24what exactly the scenario is
- 13:25and when you are able to go into the
- 13:27depth of scenario
- 13:29then you started narrow down then you
- 13:30started filtering the other things
- 13:32and from there you know the approach
- 13:33matters and that is where
- 13:36in the beginning stage as a researcher
- 13:37when you are going to start your
- 13:38research
- 13:39you should you know go through a mug up
- 13:41you know n number of literatures
- 13:43and but the literature should be full
- 13:46full of directions it should not be
- 13:48directionless so if your research
- 13:49revolves around e-commerce
- 13:51or your research revolves around you
- 13:52know customer uh
- 13:54habits or consumer behavior then your
- 13:56research your literature should be in
- 13:58that
- 13:59perspective only so this is not going to
- 14:01give learners
- 14:02a roof but but you know build
- 14:05the the basic framework and once the
- 14:07basic framework
- 14:09develops then you know the things can go
- 14:11in a more
- 14:12more systematic manner because the
- 14:13system says that first you
- 14:15go through n number of so starting with
- 14:17you know 100 literatures or 200 or 500
- 14:20and then narrow down to 250 or something
- 14:23which can
- 14:24which can give the clear glimpse about
- 14:26that so this could be the pedagogy where
- 14:31you know a bigger circle and if you see
- 14:34this
- 14:35this approach approach is also part of
- 14:36that philosophy but the the size of the
- 14:39circle
- 14:40is quite smaller now as compared to the
- 14:42philosophy
- 14:43and you have narrowed down and you are
- 14:44just you know concentrating on approach
- 14:46how the interlinkages are there and how
- 14:49your research is somewhat overlap with
- 14:50that
- 14:51so then you know the if you see the
- 14:53other circle that is called mythology so
- 14:55this
- 14:56this mythology is nothing but talking
- 14:59about
- 14:59you know a combination of approach and
- 15:01philosophy so philosophy
- 15:03is is a broader term approach is little
- 15:06broader and mythology is
- 15:07uh a cream of that a filter
- 15:10a filter of that whatever the so
- 15:12mythology is an action focus so whatever
- 15:14the action you are going to
- 15:16do whatever the execution you are so
- 15:18research methodology is
- 15:19is nothing but you know the research the
- 15:21concept which you have built up
- 15:23and and the pedagogy you are using the
- 15:26modus operandi
- 15:27so then it could be action focused
- 15:28focused and and
- 15:30going to give you certain results
- 15:31because uh if you're not going to narrow
- 15:34down yourself
- 15:35uh ultimately uh you know you are not
- 15:38going to conclude yourself
- 15:39to the particular results so mythology
- 15:42can always emphasize always inclined on
- 15:45on getting the the the result oriented
- 15:48work so
- 15:49when you talk about the research
- 15:50methodology at the end we have seen that
- 15:52finally you know things would work
- 15:54certain layers and the final layers
- 15:55talks about
- 15:56how the things are going to be done so
- 15:58anyway if you see this
- 16:00methodology in a more elaborative manner
- 16:02you will find out that methodology is
- 16:04the systematic theoretical analysis of
- 16:05the methods
- 16:06applied to a field of study so what we
- 16:08have observed that
- 16:11that it is a it is a systematic work
- 16:13it's not like that
- 16:16that you have you have started you know
- 16:18thinking about or reading about certain
- 16:20things there must be certain mythology
- 16:21there must be certain
- 16:23algorithm there must be certain
- 16:24mathematics behind it so
- 16:26that is the reason we say that
- 16:27researches and science and research is
- 16:29an art or it could be
- 16:31algorithm or mathematics because when
- 16:33you are talking about the mathematics
- 16:34you are more meticulous
- 16:36and you are going to apply the or
- 16:38formulate the things in a more
- 16:39systematic manner
- 16:40and there are certain systems they are
- 16:42certain you know the protocols
- 16:44which need to be maintained so mythology
- 16:46is a systematic theoretical analysis of
- 16:48the methods
- 16:48applied to a field to of study field of
- 16:51study why i'm talking about because
- 16:52because when you start you know
- 16:54exploring uh literatures
- 16:56exploring a data related to uh vis-a-vis
- 16:59you know e-commerce
- 17:00then you get huge number of data and
- 17:04it could be you know the country centric
- 17:06it could be you know the judicial
- 17:07centric it could be
- 17:08you know having a different format
- 17:11because every
- 17:12country have got certain style of
- 17:13working their way of
- 17:15procedure is different so how you are
- 17:17going to uh
- 17:18apply that is more important so if
- 17:20somebody is you know doing the research
- 17:22in an indian perspective
- 17:24or you know the technological
- 17:26perspective or
- 17:27just you know talking about the
- 17:28consumers of that particular
- 17:30judiciarians
- 17:30in that case the literature need to be
- 17:32you know revolves around that only
- 17:34if if you are you know talking about the
- 17:36consumers of india
- 17:38and and and exploring the data of
- 17:41of the consumers of the western world i
- 17:43think this is where you know the
- 17:45research is going to be dismantled
- 17:47so when you are talking about the
- 17:48research when you're talking about you
- 17:50know
- 17:50the this aspect you have to be quite
- 17:53cautious you have to be quite
- 17:55you know focused that if your research
- 17:58is
- 17:59on the indian consumers or the indian
- 18:00consumer behaviors then only
- 18:02your research revolves around your data
- 18:04collection revolves around the
- 18:06literature revolves around the behavior
- 18:07of the consumer
- 18:08or and that too you know vis-a-vis the
- 18:10indian scenario or
- 18:12indian perspective so it com so
- 18:14methodology
- 18:15always believes in the mathematics or
- 18:17the analysis
- 18:18or the modus operandi it comprise the
- 18:20theoretical analysis
- 18:22of the body of methods and principles
- 18:24associated with a branch of knowledge
- 18:26because and and how it is going to
- 18:30link and now other part is that since
- 18:33researchers are are in big numbers and
- 18:36these researchers are you know
- 18:38uh are are doing the research in a
- 18:40different part of the world
- 18:42so if you if you talk about you know the
- 18:44indian scenario or
- 18:46um you find out you know e-commerce is a
- 18:49upcoming term or the very beginning term
- 18:52or you know the technological india or
- 18:54the consumers indian consumers
- 18:56who are doing shopping through through
- 18:57internet if you take this kind of
- 18:59example you find out
- 19:00this is a very burdening topic and lot
- 19:02of research is going on in this
- 19:03particular domain and
- 19:05and across the board you find out that
- 19:07every institutions or
- 19:08or you know the research institutions
- 19:10you find the the learners
- 19:12who are who are in the undergraduate
- 19:15level or graduate level
- 19:17or you know the postgraduate level or
- 19:19doctoral student
- 19:20they are somewhere directly and directly
- 19:22you know doing the research in that
- 19:24and some of the research are going to be
- 19:26overlapped now
- 19:27so how your research is going to be
- 19:29different from others
- 19:30that also need to be taken care because
- 19:32if you are going to do a stereotype of
- 19:34research
- 19:35ultimately what will happen that it is
- 19:37more like you know
- 19:38the doing the research of the secondary
- 19:41data which is
- 19:42no more fruitful so so that also need to
- 19:45be taken care and for that
- 19:47reading a literature is going to play a
- 19:49very important role when we are going to
- 19:50talk more about the metallurgies
- 19:52we will see how this literature choosing
- 19:55the literature is going to play a very
- 19:56important role because
- 19:57uh the genesis behind you know the good
- 20:01research is the literature
- 20:02and if your literature is fruitful and
- 20:06in a right track review of literature
- 20:09and right track you will you will be
- 20:10able to know
- 20:11that how the things are going to be done
- 20:14so it
- 20:15encompassed concepts such as paradigm
- 20:17theoretical model phase and quantitative
- 20:19or qualitative techniques
- 20:20we will talk about more about what is
- 20:22different between quantitative and
- 20:23qualitative
- 20:24and then we see that analysis then
- 20:26modeling then deployment then
- 20:28prototyping
- 20:29is there and a lot of technology is
- 20:32coming up like machine learning
- 20:33artificial intelligence
- 20:35blockchain technology something which
- 20:36was you know which was started with a
- 20:39with a bitcoin or virtual currencies now
- 20:42it's going to play a very important role
- 20:43in research
- 20:44we will definitely throw a light on that
- 20:46and internet of thing is there so these
- 20:48are certain you know
- 20:49the budgets which are coming up in a
- 20:51present scenario
- 20:52and talk about that how the things are
- 20:54going to be changed and these cutting
- 20:55edge technologies you observe that
- 20:57some way it's work as a in enablers and
- 21:01when you're talking about you know the
- 21:02use of technology in research oh
- 21:04you have to you have to you know take in
- 21:06a very positive manner and you have to
- 21:08see that how how it is going to help the
- 21:10researchers it's not
- 21:12it's and one more important thing that
- 21:14that that could be required that could
- 21:16be you know
- 21:16uh you know known to the researchers
- 21:19that
- 21:20that they always think technology is the
- 21:23enabler it's not like that they
- 21:24should depend on the technology because
- 21:27the
- 21:28the backbone of any research is the
- 21:30literatures or the
- 21:31review of literature and if the
- 21:32literature review is not going to be
- 21:34done in a proper manner
- 21:35and there are certain modus operandi
- 21:37there are certain mythology there are
- 21:38certain procedures
- 21:39which can navigate the researchers that
- 21:41how you are going to review the
- 21:42literatures because if you start
- 21:44exploring the literatures on the
- 21:45particular domain like in consume as far
- 21:48as the consumer behavior is concerned or
- 21:49you know the
- 21:50e-commerce portal is concerned or you
- 21:52know the research on
- 21:54on the on the university students
- 21:57who are you know pursuing their
- 21:58education through online so
- 22:00and what their opinion about that how
- 22:02whether this virtual education is good
- 22:04or you know the brick and mortar
- 22:05education is good
- 22:07or you know it could be having a blended
- 22:08model so
- 22:10and the there is a paradigm shift now
- 22:13and taste about the consumers or taste
- 22:14about the learners are changing
- 22:16so somewhere we we are you know we we
- 22:19think what this virtual education is
- 22:20going to play a very important role
- 22:22and somewhere you know this brick and
- 22:23mortar education is quite good so how
- 22:26and somewhere even the amalgamation is
- 22:27very important so how
- 22:29this combination is going to come that
- 22:31is that is more important so this
- 22:33require research
- 22:34and how the and as far as the teachers
- 22:37are concerned how the instructors are
- 22:38going to be linked with the with the
- 22:40learners that is also more important so
- 22:42research is is having you know a
- 22:45different
- 22:45shape and kind and it could be it could
- 22:48be you know
- 22:49of of of various ways so
- 22:52and that is where the niche is going to
- 22:54matter because if you are going to do
- 22:55the research
- 22:56and if you are going to find the topic
- 22:58which is quite contemporary in nature
- 23:00and there is no repetitions
- 23:01now the million dollar question is that
- 23:03say i am a researcher
- 23:05and located in india and and
- 23:08and somebody else is doing the research
- 23:10in other part of the word and somewhere
- 23:11there is synonymity
- 23:12in the topic and now and i
- 23:16when i so i am how i am able to know
- 23:18that that
- 23:19the research which i am which i am doing
- 23:22could be
- 23:22more innovative and it is not going to
- 23:24redundant in the coming days
- 23:25so uh this this is where you know the
- 23:28literature is going to play a very
- 23:29important role
- 23:31if you have if you have you know
- 23:34strategically go through the literatures
- 23:37or
- 23:37explore the gap then you can find out
- 23:40that
- 23:40who are the people who have written
- 23:42their articles and and
- 23:44because today trent talks about the
- 23:47technology and
- 23:48whatever you know the writing is there
- 23:50that is available on the web
- 23:51so when people write the articles when
- 23:53people you know float their articles
- 23:55they put you know their footfall on the
- 23:58web
- 23:59which could be cited which could be you
- 24:00know appreciated by
- 24:03by the different uh authors or different
- 24:05leaders so
- 24:06from there you able to know that the
- 24:08trend is this
- 24:09and similar kind research is going on so
- 24:12in india the biggest challenge is that
- 24:15still we we believe in the creating the
- 24:18replica of
- 24:19what what you know the western world had
- 24:21done so
- 24:22uh if you talk about the good
- 24:23institutions if you talk about you know
- 24:25the
- 24:26upcoming institutions we are still
- 24:29you know uh follow this kind of
- 24:32procedures where
- 24:33whatever the contemporary research which
- 24:35had been done in the western world
- 24:36we try to create a replica of that that
- 24:39is no doubt a good thing but
- 24:40but we have to see how we are going to
- 24:43do the replica like you know
- 24:44the e-commerce trend was there in in
- 24:46western world in
- 24:48uh maybe a decade back or two decades
- 24:51back but in india what happened
- 24:52this is a phenomena which had recently
- 24:55been started
- 24:56maybe maybe maybe five years or seven
- 24:58eight years
- 24:59so so this this trend had come up now
- 25:03if you are going to create a replica of
- 25:05the research which had been done by
- 25:07by the by the by the foreign
- 25:10academicians
- 25:11ah and you will find out that there must
- 25:13be certain change
- 25:15there there are you know uh
- 25:18spending habits which are which are
- 25:20different from from the western world
- 25:22we still believe in you know the the
- 25:24legal tender or the or the paper
- 25:26currencies
- 25:26whereas they more believe in plastic
- 25:28money when we are talking about the
- 25:30plastic money in india they are talking
- 25:32about you know the wallets
- 25:33when we are talking about the wallets in
- 25:34india they are talking about the virtual
- 25:36currencies so
- 25:37what i mean to say that this kind of
- 25:40trend had
- 25:41somewhat you know deviate the research
- 25:43because the habits of the consumers that
- 25:45the the the inclination of the consumers
- 25:48towards towards the buying
- 25:50or you know other things which is
- 25:53changing with the
- 25:54with their so this is a trend so if you
- 25:57if you are going to initiate a research
- 25:59if you are going to do a research in
- 26:00this particular domain
- 26:02you have to see that this kind of habits
- 26:05also need to be imbibed if if if we are
- 26:08going to imbibe this kind of habit
- 26:10ultimately this could be a research
- 26:13which could be more genuine in nature
- 26:14so genuinity is is very important
- 26:16because
- 26:18because if the if the first-hand
- 26:19information need to be collected from
- 26:22the individual it should be collected
- 26:24from their heart and and when you're
- 26:26when you're sending
- 26:27you know the floating the information
- 26:29when you're floating the questionnaires
- 26:30to the individuals you find out that the
- 26:33majority of time you know the
- 26:34questionnaires are filled by someone
- 26:36else
- 26:36so you won't get you know the real time
- 26:39um
- 26:40uh information so that is more important
- 26:42to get the generality the
- 26:44and when you're in the process of
- 26:45collecting the first-hand information in
- 26:46the form of primary data
- 26:48that that need to be taken care so there
- 26:50are there are certain
- 26:52methodologies which are playing a very
- 26:53important role in the present scenario
- 26:56and the very good example is the
- 26:58e-commerce company examples and
- 26:59when they when they sell any product
- 27:02from their portal
- 27:04the usually people used to log in and
- 27:05buy the product and
- 27:07when they buy the product they give
- 27:09their certain opinions
- 27:10and these opinions are are you know
- 27:12taken care by them in a very
- 27:15in a very short span it's not like that
- 27:17they extract all the information at one
- 27:19shot
- 27:20so somewhere what happened that they in
- 27:22the beginning stage takes
- 27:24just about what exactly you feel about
- 27:26the product and
- 27:27and how was your you know opinion about
- 27:30the product so this kind of general
- 27:32questions because
- 27:33no being a consumer they don't have time
- 27:35to you know fill
- 27:3610 not you know 20 or or you know the
- 27:39numerous questions so
- 27:40rather than you know putting all the
- 27:43questions in one shot
- 27:44they have just focus on two three
- 27:46questions and gradually they can
- 27:48take the opinion so this is one of the
- 27:49way by which the things are going to be
- 27:51done and
- 27:52mythology is going to play a very
- 27:53important role so if you talk about the
- 27:55metallurgy research
- 27:56you will find out that mythology
- 27:57research is a research about the way we
- 27:59design
- 28:00conduct analyze report and interpret
- 28:02research studies
- 28:04and conducting mythology research
- 28:05studies will regenerate evidence
- 28:07improvement in the way we design and
- 28:09study so mythology research is research
- 28:11on research
- 28:12so that is very true because when you
- 28:14when you start doing your research
- 28:16and you and the journey started with you
- 28:19know
- 28:19reading uh literature which which is you
- 28:21know uh
- 28:23research or uh or generated by the
- 28:26by the academicians or by the authors
- 28:29then you able to know
- 28:30that there are certain things which need
- 28:32to be incorporated or imbibe into it
- 28:35then finally what happened you start
- 28:38you know try to put certain terms which
- 28:41are
- 28:41judicious based which are you know
- 28:44the having certain features
- 28:48from there the this model need to be
- 28:51done
- 28:51so this is basically you know the
- 28:54research which talks about
- 28:56that problem identification review of
- 28:58available literature then problem
- 29:00formulation
- 29:01writing a research proposal deciding the
- 29:03methodology then sample selection and
- 29:05preparation of tools of data collection
- 29:07collecting the data analyzing and
- 29:09interpreting the data and writing the
- 29:10research report so what i
- 29:12observe what you what what we observe
- 29:14that research starts with the problem
- 29:17and end with the end with the end with
- 29:19the final report
- 29:20so when you are going to talk about the
- 29:23final report you find out
- 29:25that that whatever the research you have
- 29:28done
- 29:29on the basis of the the problem which
- 29:31you have diagnosed
- 29:32then review of available literature
- 29:35because
- 29:36uh this available literature is more
- 29:37important and
- 29:39when you're exploring a number of
- 29:40literature you come to know
- 29:42uh that there must be certain gaps and
- 29:45this can give you the gap
- 29:46and when you go more into the gap you
- 29:49find out
- 29:50that that on the basis of the gap
- 29:54you frame certain objectives and these
- 29:56objectives are
- 29:57are somewhere you know converted into
- 30:00hypotheses and then questionnaires and
- 30:02finally the things are going to be done
- 30:05so these procedures definitely we are
- 30:06going to talk about and
- 30:08then um sample selection
- 30:12because today as i talked about the data
- 30:14is
- 30:15quite gigantic in nature and it's really
- 30:16cumbersome to
- 30:18to talk about the data as a whole
- 30:21so so that is where you know the
- 30:23sampling is going to play a very
- 30:24important role
- 30:25and how you're going to collect the
- 30:27sample how you're going to extract the
- 30:29information from the universal
- 30:30and um concentrating on on the certain
- 30:33portions so
- 30:35there are certain procedures about the
- 30:36sample and sampling could be
- 30:38uh done in a in a very systematic manner
- 30:42so that all the judicials which are
- 30:43talking about if you're
- 30:44researching on a parent databases and
- 30:46you're talking more about the
- 30:47technological enabled commerce or
- 30:49e-commerce
- 30:50then you have to take the you know
- 30:53certain cities or the states which
- 30:55revolves around that particular
- 30:57country so and if you eliminate any of
- 31:00the cities or
- 31:01or the state your research would be uh
- 31:04not fool proof so that is something
- 31:06which is there in collecting the data
- 31:08analyzing and interpreting the data and
- 31:10then research reports so
- 31:12this is all about research this is just
- 31:14you know the curtain result to
- 31:15research and business as such and
- 31:17definitely we are going to talk more
- 31:19about in a
- 31:19in a coming sessions so roughly we have
- 31:22almost you know
- 31:24uh 40 to 50 lectures on on this research
- 31:27methodology
- 31:28and which revolves around talking about
- 31:30you know the research
- 31:31and methodology then all the domains
- 31:33which which you know
- 31:34which is part and parcel of research
- 31:36starting from literature review then
- 31:38data analysis
- 31:39interpretation and other other topics
- 31:42which somewhere you know
- 31:44going to help the researchers or you
- 31:46know terminologies you are definitely
- 31:47going to talk about that
- 31:48so uh in our second session we will
- 31:52we will touch more uh aspects of
- 31:55of of this research and gradually we
- 31:58will go on and on thank you very much
- 32:00[Music]
