RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
Research Methodology is a way to systematically solve the research problem. Itmay be understood as a science of studying how research is done scientifically. Thesection includes the overall research design, the sampling procedure, the datacollection method, the field work and analysis and procedure.
Research design : For this research project exploratory and descriptive method is used.Data collection method : Data collect for the research can be classified as primarydata and secondary data.
RESEARCH DESIGN :-
A framework for conducting the marketing research project. It specifies the details of the procedures necessary for obtaining the information needed to structure and/or solve
marketing research problems.
The project is mainly Descriptive cum Exploratory.
Descriptive :-
It describes market characteristics or functions. It is preplanned and structured design.
Descriptive research is marked by the prior formulation of specific hypotheses. The several
methods are secondary data, surveys, panels and observational.
Exploratory :-
To provide insights and understanding of the problem. It was often the front end of total
research design. It is flexible and versatile. The several methods are expert surveys, pilot
surveys, and qualitative research etc.
Keeping in mind the above mentioned concept of various types of research and taking care
of our study we have taken the descriptive cum exploratory research.
SAMPLING UNIT :-
36
8/6/2019 Anirban Chakraborty Project Report
37/51
A Sampling Unit is an element, or a unit containing the element, that is available for
selection at some stage of the sampling process.
Before selection for survey a sampling unit was taken. The sampling unit was the Small and
Medium Enterprises which we had visited. The informations about these Small and
Medium Enterprises were given from the company database and we had selected randomly
from there.
SAMPLE SIZE :-
It is the total size of the units that are used for the analysis of data. The sample size
determined statistically represents the final or net sample size that must be achieved in order
to ensure that the parameters are estimated with the desired degree of precision and the
given level of confidence. In surveys, that represents the number of interviews that must be
completed. In order to achieve this final sample size, a much greater number of potential
respondents have to be contacted. The initial sample size has to be much larger because
typically the incidence rates and completion rates are less than 100%.
We were given a database of around 100 companies to cover in 40 days, but due to time
constraints we could only visit 50 companies and collected necessary datas from them. The
analysis is done on a sample size of 40 collected from the 50 companies we have visited.
So my sample size is 40.
FIELD WORK :-
Marketing research data are rarely collected by the persons who design the research.
Researchers have two major options for collecting their data. They can develop their own
organization or they can contract with a field work agency. In either case, data collection
involves the use of some kind of field force. The field force operates in Personal Interviews,
observations, office telephones and internet surveys. The field workers who collect the data
typically have little research background or training.
37
8/6/2019 Anirban Chakraborty Project Report
38/51
The main work of the project was to bring out investment from the Small and Medium
Enterprises by explaining them the corporate solutions DBS Cholamandalam was providing.
It was an individual application (survey) carried on in the market.
The company representatives were interviewed individually. Date and time was allotted to
make appointment with them. We had visited the companies directly to make these
appointments.
The universe from where samples are taken comprises of Small and Medium Enterprises.
The company dignitaries were interviewed to collect information.
The survey was done in the Kolkata Region covering Small and Medium Enterprises in
Areas such as :-
N. S ROAD
R. N. MUKHERJEE ROAD
A. J. C BOSE ROAD
B.B.D BAG
PARK STREET
CAMAC STREET
SARAT BOSE ROAD
RUSSEL STREET
CHOWRINGHEE
GARIAHAT
LAKE TOWN etc
The problem that arises during the survey with the samples was that many of the companies
cannot be visited and therefore the result is only on the visited samples.
DATA COLLECTION METHOD :-
The task of data collection begins after a research problem has been defined and research
design/plan chalked out. While deciding about the method of data collection to be used for
38
8/6/2019 Anirban Chakraborty Project Report
39/51
the study, the researcher should keep in mind two types of data i.e. Primary and Secondary
data.
Primary Data :
The primary data are those which are collected afresh and for the first time, and thus happen
to be original in character. There are several types of primary data such as Questionnaire,
individual survey, interview method, phone calls, panel group, focus group, electronic
media, observations etc. From these several primary data we have used individual survey,
interview method and phone calls as these were required for my collection of data. To study
the market position individual survey is the appropriate method to collect the primary data.
Information from the company representatives were collected only by meeting them and
asking the question through the help of questionnaires.
Secondary Data :
Secondary data means data that are already available i.e., they refer to the data which have
already been collected and analyzed by someone else. When the researcher utilises
secondary data, then he has to look into various sources from where he can obtain them.
There are several types of secondary data available such as RBI Bulletin, newspapers,
leaflets, several books, company database, several websites etc. From this secondary data
we have taken help of company database and some websites to get informations.
Summary :-
To make this survey several companies were visited and necessary datas were collected
through the help of data instrument. Also the places were the companies are visited and the
limitations faced were discussed.

ANALYSIS OF DATA
The selection of the analysis of the data is based on the research objectives. The datas are
collected with the help of Personal Interviews and by filling the Questionnaire. Data
analysis is not an end in itself. Its purpose is to produce information that will help address
the problem in hand.

Interpretation : In the above Pie-chart and Bar-graph it can be seen that the 31% of the
companies have invested in UTI Mutual Fund, whereas only 9% have shown faith in DBS
Cholamandalam like Traco Enterprise, Usha Martin Industries etc. So UTI rules most of the
market in investment sector.
Summary :-
From the above Bar-graphs and pie-charts we can find out several informations like
how many companies prefer to invest in Mutual Fund, enterprises having investable surplus,
enterprises running at O/D, Companies preference of investment etc.
We can draw a clear picture of the market condition and situation exists for Corporate
Investment.

CONCLUSION
The fact that money makes more money is unquestionable. But the money
should be parked in a proper option. According to the accuracy of the investor
regarding the selection of the investment and it different aspects like tenure,
option etc. the investor will be benefited. Those who will invest with a proper
planning will be benefited more. There are some investors whose objectives
have never fulfilled. Ultimately they thought that every investment alternative
is vogues. But it is not true. These types of investors have failed due to their
improper planning and wrong selection of alternatives at different point of time.
It is said earlier that this project does not consider all the investment avenues.
So, further project can be conducted considering those options also. Then the
preferred investment avenue of the investors will be clearer. At the same time it
is said that the Mutual Fund is a better investment option than others and the
reasons are explained earlier.
To conclude we must say that, we have learned a lot about the investment
pattern & the market condition existing. We have gathered a good knowledge
about when a company is ready to invest, when it has surplus funds with them
and the companies are not running at the Bank Overdraft etc.
We have got a good experience visiting several companies and speaking with
the high dignitary, senior executives present in the company. It was a very
bright and good learning process which would be helpful for me in my future.

RECOMMENDATION
Every study should have some recommendations. Without this the study can
not be fulfilled. So, like every study our studies also have some
recommendation like. It is recommended that the company should keep a track
on the Yield rates provided by other Mutual Fund Companies. Other mutual fund
companys higher percentage of yield rates can affect the company.
The company should also maintain a proper database because without a proper
database it becomes difficult to find out the requirement of the new and
existing customers. If the database is clearly made then it becomes much
easier to trace several existing and non-existing customers.
The company can have a thorough study about the opportunities and capitalize
them for companys betterment as a whole.
46
8/6/2019 Anirban Chakraborty Project Report
47/51
LIMITATIONS
Limitation to the research arose due to the paucity of time and the geographical
nature of the area visited. In some places the companies are situated in those
places which were difficult to identify. We were just able to visit 50 companies.
On few occasion the companies were closed or the concerned persons were not
present.
The data collected was collected by personal visits to the companies and direct
interaction with the company representatives and the authenticity of the data
collected depends on the information provided by them.
All the information given in this project is based on the survey which we
conducted in the geographical area within the time period of two months.
