It is specifically collected for the research problem but is expensive to collect. Secondary data is already collected data obtained from sources like government publications, reports, and websites. It is cheaper but may not be as relevant or accurate for the research problem. The document discusses the differences between primary and secondary data in terms of their meaning, source, cost-effectiveness, time requirements, specificity, form available in, and accuracy.

    PRIMARY DATA

    AND
    SECONDARY DATA
    The choice of appropriate instruments
    depends on the type of data
    to be collected, the questions to be
    answered, the time frame and the
    PRIMARY DATA resources. The method of data
    AND collection should not only be
    SECONDARY DATA appropriate but
    also effective. Data collection is very
    important in the analysis of data. There
    are two different methods to gather
    information: Primary or Secondary.
    Primary data is data originated for the
    first time by the researcher through
    PRIMARY DATA direct efforts and experience,
    specifically for the purpose of
    addressing his
    research problem.
    Also known as the first hand
    or raw data. Primary data
    collection is quite expensive,
    as the research is conducted
    by the organization
    or agency itself, which
    requires resources like
    investment and manpower.
    The data can be collected through various
    methods like surveys,
    observations, physical testing, mailed
    questionnaires, questionnaire filled and
    sent by enumerators, personal interviews,
    telephonic interviews, focus
    groups, case studies, etc.
    Secondary data implies second-hand
    information which is already
    SECONDARY DATA collected and recorded by any person other
    than the user for a purpose, not
    relating to the current research problem.
    It is the readily available form of
    data collected from various sources like censuses,
    government publications,
    internal records of the organization, reports,
    books, journal articles, websites
    and so on.
    Secondary data offer several advantages as it is
    easily available, saves time
    and cost of the researcher. But there are some
    disadvantages associated with
    this, as the data is gathered for the purposes
    other than the problem in mind,
    so the usefulness of the data may be limited in
    several ways like relevance
    and accuracy.
