1 Business Research Methods Chapter 6: Using Secondary data Emmanuel Fragniere Neda Javanmardi September
2 Using Secondary data Slides are essentially based on the two following recommended textbooks for this course: 1. Research methods for business students (fifth edition) by: Mark Saunders, Philip Lewis, Adrian Thornhill 2. Essentials of business research by: Jonathan Wilson 2
3 Using Secondary data What is secondary data? Secondary data are data that have been gathered by other researchers. Secondary data includes everything from annual reports, promotional material, parent company documentation, published case descriptions, magazine, journal articles and newspaper reports as well as government printed sources. 3
4 Types of secondary data? Using Secondary data 1. Documentary Organizational records, communications and web sites; reports of committees; media accounts (newspaper articles); TV and video recordings; Internet sources 2. Multiple source (different data sets combined) Country or sector reports; industry statistics 3. Survey data Government surveys and censuses (continuous); surveys by international bodies Saunders, M, Lewis, Ph & Thornhill, A 1997, Research methods for business students, 5 th edn, Pearson education, 4
5 Overall suitability Using Secondary data Does the data set contain the information you require to answer your research question(s) and meet your objectives? Do the measures use match those you require? Is the data set a proxy for the data you really need? Does the data set cover the population that is the subject of your research? Can data about the population that is the subject of your research be separated from unwanted data? Are the data sufficiently up to date? Are data available for all the variables you require to answer your research question(s) and meet your objectives? 5 q=secondary%20data%20ppt&ei=tbo3ti75pmjiswbprm2scw&usg=afqjcngdegc5eub-yhmuuh6qaaq4r9kiiq&sig2=u9tqguv-pjpcrwfl33sfia&cad=rja
6 Using Secondary data Precise suitability How reliable is the data set you are thinking of using? How credible is the data source? Is the methodology clearly described? If sampling was used, what was the procedure and what were the associated sampling errors and response rates? Who were responsible for collecting or recording the data? (For surveys) is a copy of the questionnaire or interview checklist included? (For complied data) are you clear how the data were analysed and complied? Are the data likely to contain measurement bias? q=secondary%20data%20ppt&ei=tbo3ti75pmjiswbprm2scw&usg=afqjcngdegc5eub-yhmuuh6qaaq4r9kiiq&sig2=u9tqguv-pjpcrwfl33sfia&cad=rja 6
7 Using Secondary data What was the original purpose for which the data were collected? Who was the target audience and what was their relationship to the data collector or complier (were there any vested interests)? Have there been any documented changes in the way the data are measured or recorded including definition changes? How consistent are the data obtained from this source? How consistent are the data obtained from this source when compared with data from other sources? Are you happy that the data have been recorded accurately? q=secondary%20data%20ppt&ei=tbo3ti75pmjiswbprm2scw&usg=afqjcngdegc5eub-yhmuuh6qaaq4r9kiiq&sig2=u9tqguv-pjpcrwfl33sfia&cad=rja 7
8 Using Secondary data Advantages of secondary data Less source intensive Can allow for comparative analysis Ideal for longitudinal studies Easily accessible for other researchers Text from Jim Norton, 8
9 Drawbacks of secondary data Using Secondary data Access is difficult and costly for high quality and reliable secondary data May not match your research problem Difficult to verify reliability Not in manageable form Comparability 9
10 Evaluating secondary data Using Secondary data Availability- It has to be seen whether the kind of data you want is available or not. If it is not available then you have to go for primary data. Relevance- It should be meeting the requirements of the problem. For this we have two criteria:- Units of measurement should be the same. Concepts used must be same and currency of data should not be outdated. Text from 10
11 Evaluating secondary data Using Secondary data Accuracy- In order to find how accurate the data is, the following points must be considered: Specification and methodology used; Margin of error should be examined; The dependability of the source must be seen. Sufficiency- Adequate data should be available. Text from 11
