Research desi*n
%eanin* of research - Research is a systematic controlled
empirical and critical investigation of hypothetical prepositions
about the presumed relations among the natural phenomena.
Statement of the problem the first and foremost step in the
research process is selecting and properly defining a research
problem where the researcher must find the problem and formulate
it so that it becomes researchable.
In this statement the main thing is to study the performance of bus
variants and also to now the various types of buses and cost
revenue structure of buses prevailing in !SR"C.
"eed for the study as it involves the complete process of
planning and operations of the research it enables the researcher to
have a complete preview of the problem with this design he can
conduct his study in an organi#ed and systematic manner. It is an
instrument$ which enables the efforts towards objectives$ focused
mind in achieving scientific accuracy with minimum errors and
ma%imum efficiency.
Sources of the study data are the facts$ figures$ observations$
and other relevant materials$ past present$ serving as the basis for
the study and analysis. "he two main sources of data in research
can be labeled as paper$ people$ primary data and secondary data.
!bjecti+es of the study
&ecision maing is considerably influenced by research
in the relevant.
Project objective stands for the role played by research in
project identification.
Policy objectives are a corporate policy for any
organi#ation which is lined with the corporate objectives
and organi#ational philosophy$ culture and climate.
Controlling policies a manager function is e%pected to be
a controller and every management function has an
element of controlling function.
'conomic use of resources is one of the most important
managerial functions.
It may include maret share$ penetration$ profit margin$
sales volume$ business growth.
Product development researchers are carried out$ both for
new product development and e%isting product
modification.
"he purpose of innovation$ e%istence researches are
carried out.
Researches which are conducted with the sole objective
of customer satisfaction are also not rare. "he product
selling approach has already given way to customer
satisfaction approach of mareting.
It is the main purposes of many companies do conduct
researches.
In this mareting e%ecutives prefer to conduct surveys for
the purpose of identifying variable in support of
promotion.
It shapes of the corporate image is ine%tricable tied in
with company(s relations with e%ternal groups.
It employs to attain its desired place in industry will have
a profound effect on its employees$ customers$
competitors and general public.
Scope of the study
"he study has been conducted within the )angalore.
"he study specifically covers the cost revenue$ types of
buses and how it is useful for commuters.
"he study is for the sae of nowledge and an important
source of providing guidelines for the company as well as
to commuters.
"his study shows the relationship between the company(s
staff and commuters.
Research methodolo*y methodology can be defined as the
study of methods. *ny study or research re+uires a proper
methodology for its success. *ny systematic and scientific$ and
study or research can give a clear picture of the film. "he
methodology plays highly and significant role. It also considers
the logic behind the methods we use in the conte%t of our
research study and e%plain why we are using a particular
method or techni+ue.
Samples a sample as the name implied is smaller
representative of a larger whole. ,ethod of selecting a portion
of the universe for the study is nown a sampling. Sampling or
sample design refers to techni+ues or procedure the researcher
would adopt in selecting items for the sample from a given
population. *n ade+uate sample is one which contains enough
data to produce reliable results.
Research instrument this research instrument includes
+uestionnaire$ interview and schedule.
,uestionnaire where it contains of a number of
+uestions printed or typed in a definite order on a form or
set of forms.
(nter+ie-s this involves presentation of oral verbal
stimuli and reply in terms of oral verbal responses.
Schedules this method involves proforma containing a
set of +uestions which is filled b enumerators and the
secondary data available in the articles$ reports C&-
R-,$ brag$ internet and microfilm.
Tools for data collection.
&ata is of two types they are.
Primary data
Secondary data
Primary data. this data is collected personally and
interviewing and by using structure +uestionnaire$ since
this is the first hand information it provides valuable and
correct information(s.
Secondary data. this data is collected through compass
manuals$ survey reports$ personnel departments te%t
boos$ internet$ cd-rom etc.$
(nterpretation of data. interpretation refers to the tas of
drawing influences from the collected facts after analytical and
e%perimental study.
It involves two major aspects namely.
"he effort to establish continuity in research through lining
the results of a given study with those of author.
"he establishment of some e%planatory concepts.
/imitations of the study. each research study has its own
limitations$
The limitations may be as follo-s.
"hese errors arise from any bias in selection$ estimation etc.$
"he tas of preparing slips is time consuming and e%pensive.
Cases selected to be too widely dispersed geographically and
hence the time and cost of collecting data is large.
* complicated study/sampling plan may re+uire more labor
than a complete coverage.
