    This document discusses data collection and processing. It defines data collection as how researchers obtain data to answer their research questions. There are two main types of data: primary data collected directly by the researcher and secondary data previously collected by others. The document outlines various primary and secondary data collection methods and notes advantages of primary data. It then describes data processing as any operation performed on data to convert it into useful information, including the basic data processing cycle of collection, input, processing, storage, and output. Finally, it discusses different methods of data processing from manual to mechanical to electronic and notes data processing services may be chosen based on business needs.

    What is data collection?
    Data collection refers to how the researcher obtains data to
    used to answer his research questions.

    Types of data

    Primary data
    • Collected for the first time and
    original
    Secondary data
    • Already collected by someone
    else and go through some
    statistical analysis
     Data collection methods

    Primary data Secondary data


    collection collection

    Observation method documents

    Interview method Govt. publications

    Questionnaire method Earlier research

    Schedule method Client histories

    Survey method Sales or financial reports

    Panel method
     Advantages of primary data over secondary
    data

    Authentic data
    More relaible and
    accurate
    Availability is simple
    Direct from main
    sources
    Researchers put more
    involvement
    Real time data
     Data Processing
    Any operation performed on data such as
    collection,recording,organization,storage,adaption or alteration to
    convert it into useful information.

    Data Processing Cycle


    Once data is collected it is converted to useful information.data is
    processed again and again until accurate result is achieved.This is
    called data processing cycle.

     Data processing involves very careful planing.

     Stages of data processing cycle
    • Data collection • Performing
    • Data capture instructions
    • Encoding • Transform raw
    • Data transmission data into
    • Data communications information

    Storage Output
    stage stage
    • Storing data • Decoding
    • Retrieve data • Presenting data
    to user
     Methods of data processing

    1. Manual • Data is processed manually without


    any machine or tool
    data • Slow method and error chances
    processing • e.g carbon copies made by book seller

    2. Mechanical • Data is processed with devices and


    machines
    data • Faster,easier and more accurate
    processing • e.g calculators, type writers

    3.Electronic • Data is processed with the help of


    Data computer
    • Latest,fast and accurate.
    processing
     Data processing as a business need
    Depending upon business requirements,choose several data
    processing services as follows:

    Number of Market
    Record Order
    transaction research
    keeping processing
    s processing
