1 137 Chapter 4 Data Analysis and Hypothesis testing 4.1 Introduction In this chapter the researcher has represented the collected data and interpretations drawn out of the data analysis. The task of the data collection begins after a research problem has been defined and research design/plan chalked out. While deciding about the methods of data collection to be used, the researcher categorized data requirement into two types viz. primary and secondary. During the conduct of this research, researcher used different techniques for collection of primary and secondary data. The primary data are those which are collected afresh and for the first time and thus happen to be original in character. The secondary data, on the other hand, are those which have already been collected by someone else. 4.2 Data Collection Primary data collection Primary data is collected through the various survey methods as listed bellow- 1. Through personal interview with the help of structured questionnaires 2. By observation method 3. Through telephonic interview 4. By mailing of questionnaires 5. Discussions and expert opinions Secondary data collection Secondary data is collected from various journals, books, research papers, various entrepreneurship supporting institutes and consulting organizations like EDI, NIESBUD, SIDO, SISI, SSI, SIDBI, NSTEDB, TCO, DIC, MCCIA and concerned websites.

2 Sample size number of entrepreneurs who have formal education in management sciences from University of Pune (for case study) number of respondents from various management institutions under the University of Pune Nature of the Data Primary data were collected in the form of responses of the respondents to close ended questions formulated in a structured way into the questionnaire. Secondary data were collected in the form of theory and literature from various sources. 4.3 Data Processing The data processing involved the following operations 1. Editing Collected raw data was examined to detect errors and omissions and corrected wherever possible. It involved a careful scrutiny of the complete questionnaires. It was done to make sure that the data are accurate, consistent with other facts gathered, uniformly entered as complete as possible and have been well arranged to facilitate coding and tabulation. 2. Coding It is a process of assigning numerals or other symbols to answers so that responses can be put into a limited number of categories or classes. Coding is done for efficient analysis and through it the several replies reduced to small number of classes. 3. Classification The raw data collected were in large volume which must be reduced into homogeneous groups to get meaningful relationship. In this step data are arranged into groups on the basis of common characteristic. 4. Tabulation When mass of collected data assembled, it became necessary for the researcher to arrange the same in some kind of concise and logical order in the form of tabulation i.e. the data is orderly arranged in columns and rows. Researcher summarized raw data and displayed in compact form for further analysis. Wherever there was the need to find out the association between two

3 139 or more variables, cross tabulations were generated. The generation of tabulations and cross tabulation helped the researcher following ways i) To conserve space and reduced explanatory and descriptive statement to a minimum. ii) It facilitated the process of comparison. iii) It facilitated the summation of items and the detection of errors and omissions. iv) It provided basis for various statistical computations. 4.4 Tools used for Data Analysis 1. SPSS 13.0 Update Version (Statistical Package for the Social Sciences) was used for data analysis. 2. Microsoft Office Excel 2007 is used to generate graphs. 4.5 Data Analysis and Presentation After the data have been collected a number of closely related operations such as establishment of categories, the application of these categories to raw data through coding & tabulation are done and then statistical inferences are drawn. The collected data was in discrete categorical form hence simple percentile analysis of the date is done. The various variables are analyzed based on their frequency of occurrence. The cross tabulation analysis of various variables is done to understand the association between the respective variables. The data is represented in the form of frequency tables. All the responses to relevant questions are converted into respective frequency tables. Based on the objectives and hypothesis wherever required, cross tabulations are generated. At all required places data is represented in the form of graphs to simplify the interpretation. The researcher has represented the data analysis into two parts Part 1 includes data analysis of the student respondents. Part 2 includes data analysis of the entrepreneur respondents.

4 140 Part 1 -Data analysis of the student respondents 1. Profile of the Respondents 1. Age of respondents Table 4.1: Age of respondents Age Frequency Percent Cumulative Percent Graph 4.1: Age of respondents The analysis of the above data shows that the age of respondent is between 20 years to 34 years.
