RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

Meaning of Research: -

Research is an art of scientific investigation.Research means “a careful investigation or inquiry especially through search for new facts in any branch of knowledge.”

According to Clifford Woody : -

“Research comprises defining and redefining problems, formulating, hypothesis or suggested solutions, collecting, organizing and evaluating data, making deductions and reaching conclusions and at last carefully testing the conclusions to determine whether they fit the formulating hypothesis”Research means the systematic method consisting of enunciating the problem, formulating a hypothesis, collecting the facts or data, analyzing the facts and reaching certain conclusions either in form of solutions towards the concerned problem or in certain generalization for some theoretical formulation.

Research is common parlance refers to a search for knowledge. The purpose of research is to discover answer to questions through the application of scientific procedures. Research methodology refers to the tools and methods used for obtaining information for the purpose of the subject under study. Research methodology deals with the various methods of research. The purpose of the research methodology is to describe the research procedure used in the research. Research methodology overall include include the research design , data collection method and analysis procedure which are used to explore the insight information form the research problem . Research methodology helps in carrying out the project report in by analysing the various research findings collected through the data collection method.

Page 9: Front Airtel

While making a study we very often look for what type of research methodology is to be used in this type of study. For implementation of a proper research methodology we have to first understand the meaning of research.

Research is a process with the help of which new concepts arises. It is the increase in the actual knowledge stock. It can be called as movement from known to unknown and vice-versa. It is also a continuous process. It is a scientific as well as systematic process, which includes defining and redefining the problems to develop hypothesis , to collect and define the data , to analysis the information and bring out the mother discovery . an individual make the efforts in research and society or public takes its benefits because the result are generalized.

The research conducted by Exploratory Research this type of research is Qualitative and Quantitative.

Qualitative refers to the characters of the data or process by which the data are gathered. The research process consists of a series of closely related activities. Why a research study has been undertaken. Why a research study has been undertaken, how the research problem has been defined, in what way and why the hypothesis has been formulated, what data has been collected and what particular method has been adopted and a host of similar other question arey a research study has been undertaken, how the research problem has been defined, in what w The research conducted by Exploratory Research this type of research is Qualitative and Qualitative refers to the characters of the data or process by which the data are gathered. The research process consists of a series of closely related activities. Why a research study has been undertaken. Why a research study has been undertaken, how the research problem has been defined, in what way and why the hypothesis has been formulated, what data has been collected and what particular method has been adopted and a host of similar other question are usually answered when we talk of research methodology concerning a research problem or study.

RESEARCH DESIGN

Research design is an important and the vital part of the research. Research design is a comprehensive master plan specifying the procedure for collecting and analysis the needed information. Research design provides an excellent framework for the research plan action. The function of the research design is to ensure that the required data is in accordance research design is a blue print for the research study , which guides research in collecting and analysis is the data.

In this project I have used 2 types of research design:-

a) EXPLORATORY RESEARCH DESIGN

Exploratory research design helps the research in getting the insight information from the research problem. Generally all the marketing research projects innuendos exploratory research that helps the researcher in providing the sharp focus of the problem under research. Exploratory research lays emphasis on the discovering of ideas and possible inside to get the information needed to carry out the research has used the exploratory form to research design in the project under study.

b) CONCLUSIVE RESEARCH DESIGN

Conclusive research design is the design, which helps the researcher in studying the research problem in the conclusive form; this helps the researcher in choosing the possible cause of action from various alternatives to make a rational design. Hence this type of research is being used in the research project.

DATA COLLECTION METHOD

The success of any project or market survey depends heavily on the data collection and analysis. It is necessary that the data collected is a reliable data in order to achieve the research objective. All data source can be classified into two data:-

PRIMARY DATA

SECONDARY DATA

PRIMARY DATA

Primary data is the data which are fresh and collected for the first time and are original in character. Its consist of the actual information. There are various primary data collection techniques which have helped in data gathering.

Primary data are those which are collected afresh(again but in a new or different way) and for the first time and thus happen to be original in character and known as Primary data.

Primary Data is based on primary source of information.The investigator gets it in original or raw form i.e. it is not been processed earlier- coded, tabulated, classified and summarized in some form for use by someone for some purpose.

Methods for collecting primary data:

There are several methods of collecting primary data:

Direct Personal Observation

Interview

Questionnaire

Page 12: Front Airtel

Schedules

a) Observation

Observation involves recording the behavioral patterns of people by investigator’s own direct observation without asking from the respondent.For example, in a study relating to human behavior, the investigator instead of asking the brand of the wrist watch used by the respondent, may himself look at the watch.

b) Interview

Interviewing is a technique that is primarily used to gain an understanding of the underlying reason and motivation for people’s attitudes, preferences or behavior. Interviews can be personal as well as telephonic interview.

c) Questionnaire

A questionnaire is a document that contains a set of questions printed or typed in a proper sequence.

Questionnaires are a popular means of collecting data, but are difficult to design and often require many rewrites before an acceptable questionnaire is produced.

d) Schedule method

A Schedule is a Performa containing a set of questions which are asked and filled in by an interviewer in a face-to-face situation with another person.

In certain situations, schedules may be handed over to the respondents and the enumerators may help them in recording their answers.

Data collection instrument/ method of data collection:

The method used in the project for data collection is questionnaire.

Page 13: Front Airtel

Meaning of questionnaire:

A questionnaire consists of a set of questions presented to respondents. Because of its flexibility, the questionnaire is by far the most common instrument used to collect primary data. Questionnaires need to be carefully developed, tested, and debugged before they are administered on a large scale. In preparing a questionnaire, the researcher carefully chooses the questions and their form, wording, and sequence. The form of the question can influence the response. Marketing researchers distinguish between closed-end and open-end questions. Closed-end questions specify all the possible answers and provide answers that are easier to interpret and tabulate. Open-end questions allow respondents to answer in their own words and often reveal more about how people think. They are especially useful in exploratory research, where the researcher is looking for insight into how people think rather than measuring how many people think a certain way.

Sample size:

I have taken the sample size of 70 individuals for the research.

Out of which were males and females.

For my research I have used primary method for data collection.

Technique of sampling:

There are 2 types of sampling techniques: Non- probability sampling technique Probability sampling technique

Page 14: Front Airtel

Non-probability sampling technique

Under non-random sampling each and every unit of population do not have an

equal chance of being selected in the sample. In this method, the selection of

sampling units depends entirely on the personal judgment of the investigator.

Probability sampling technique

When each and every unit of the population has an equal and independent

chance (probability) of being selected in the sample, it is called random sampling.

Equal chance means that probability of each unit to be selected in the sample

will be same. Independent chance means that the selection of one unit is not

dependent upon the selection of another unit.

The technique used for the research is non-probability sampling technique.

Sampling area:

I have done my project and filled questionnaire in Model Town area.

Data analysis:

The data analysis is done with the help of tabulation, charts, & graphs.

Sampling area:model town and invertis students.

Sampling size:75 respondents

Type of data : Primary data

Data collection instrument:Questionnaire

Sample Unit:Youth

Sample Type:Random Sampling

INDUSTRY PROFILE

PROFILE

The Indian telecommunications industry is one of the fastest growing in the

world. According to the Telecomatory Authority of India (TRAI), the number of

telecom Subscribers in the country reached 621.28 million as on March 31, 2010,

an increase of 3.38% from 600.98 million in February 2010. With this the overall

teledensity 3.39 (Telephones per 100 people) has touched 52.74.

The wireless subscriber base has increased to 584.32 million at the end of March

2010 from 564.02 million in February 2010, registering a growth of 3.6 per cent.

a) Value-Added Services (VAS) Market

Mobile value added services include text or SMS, menu-based services,

downloading of music or ring tones, mobile TV, videos and sophisticated m-

commerce applications. According to the Economic Survey 2009-10, prior to 2008

a majority of VAS revenue was attributed to SMS. But with greater penetration of

new services, availability of relatively inexpensive, feature-rich handsets and

consumer education, value-added services other than SMS are gaining

importance. It is expected that over the next few years non-SMS services will

Page 17: Front Airtel

become a dominant contributor to VAS revenue.

b) Major Investments

The booming domestic telecom market has been attracting huge amounts of

investment which is likely to accelerate with the entry of new players and launch

of new services. According to the Department of Industrial Policy and Promotion

(DIPP), the telecommunications sector which includes radio paging, mobile

services and basic telephone services attracted foreign direct investment (FDI)

worth US$ 2,495 million during April to February 2010. The cumulative flow of FDI

in the sector during April 2000 and February 2010 is US$ 8,872 million.

Norway-based telecom operator Telenor has bought a further 7 per cent in

Unitech Wireless for a little over US$ 431.3 million. Telenor now has 67.25

per cent hold of the company. Telenor has now completed its four-stage

stake buy and has invested a total of US$ 1.32 billion in Unitech Wireless as

agreed on with the latter last year

The government has approved the foreign direct investment (FDI) proposal

of the Federal Agency for State Property Management of the Russian

Federation to buy 20 per cent stake in telecom service provider Sistema-

Shyam for US$ 660.1 million

Page 18: Front Airtel

c) Going Global

In March 2010, Bharti Airtel bought the African operations of Kuwait-based Zain

Telecom for US$ 10.7 billion, driving the Indian player into the league of top ten

telecom players globally. The Reserve Bank has liberalised the investment norms

for Indian telecom companies by allowing them to invest in international

submarine cable consortia through the automatic route. In April 2010, RBI issued

a notification stating "As a measure of further liberalisation, it has now been

decided... to allow Indian companies to participate in a consortium with other

international operators to construct and maintain submarine cable systems on co-

ownership basis under the automatic route." The notification further added,

"Accordingly, banks may allow remittances by Indian companies for overseas

direct investment."

3G Services

The Department of Telecom has taken the pioneering decision of launching of 3G

services by BSNL and MTNL and initiation of process for auction of spectrum for

3G services to private operators. Allocation of spectrum for third-generation (3G),

and broadband wireless access (BWA) services was done through a controlled

simultaneous, ascending e-auction process. All the 71 blocks that were put up for

auction across the 22 service areas in the country were sold, leaving no unsold

Page 19: Front Airtel

lots. Auction for 3G spectrum ended on May 19, 2010 after 183 rounds of intense

bidding over a span of 34 days. The Government is expected to morph revenue

worth US$ 14.6 billion. All the available slots across 22 circles have been sold to

seven different operators. A pan-India bid for third generation spectrum stood at

US$ 3.6 billion. The Anil Ambani-led Reliance Communication bagged the highest

number of 13 circles at a cost of US$ 1.9 billion, followed by Bharti Airtel in 12,

Idea in 11 and Vodafone and the Tatas in nine circles each, according to the

Department of Telecommunications. MTNL and BSNL will have to pay US$ 1.42

billion and US$ 2.2 billion respectively.

d) Manufacturing

The Indian telecom industry manufactures a vast range of telecom equipment

using state-of-the-art technology. According to the Economic Survey 2009-10, the

production of telecom equipment in value terms has increased from US$ 9 billion

in 2007-08 to US$ 10.53 billion in 2008-09 and is expected to be US$ 12.4 billion

in 2009-10. Exports have increased from US$ 86.74 million in 2002-03 to US$ 23.7

billion in 2008-09, accounting for 21 per cent of the equipment produced in the

country.

Telecommunication equipment major Nokia Siemens is planning to source

components worth US$ 28.5 billion from India in 2010-11. In 2009, the company

Page 20: Front Airtel

sourced components worth US$ 20 billion from India. According to a report by

technology researcher Gartner Inc., India ranks fourth in manufacturing telecom

equipment in the Asia-Pacific (Apac) region. The country has a 5.7 per cent share

of the region’s total telecom equipment production revenue of US$ 180 billion in

2009.

"We expect India to move up to the third spot (after China and South Korea) with

a share of 8.5 per cent of the total (estimated) Apac telecom equipment

production revenue of US$ 277 billion by 2014," Gartner said. The firm estimates

India’s telecom equipment production revenue to grow at a CAGR of 17.1 per

cent to reach US$ 22.6 billion in fiscal 2014. India will be the fastest growing

telecom equipment production market in the Apac region over the next five

years, it predicts.

e) Rural Telephony

According to the Economic Survey 2009-10, rural tele-density has increased from

1.2 per cent in March 2002 to 15.1 per cent in March 2009 and further to 21.2 per

cent at the end of December 2009. Rural telephone connections have gone up

from 12.3 million in March 2004 to 123.5 million in March 2009 and further to

174.6 million in December 2009. The share of private sector players in the total

telephone connections has steadily increased from around 14 per cent in 2005 to

Page 21: Front Airtel

31 per cent as on December 31, 2009. During 2008-09, the growth rate of rural

telephones was 61.5 per cent as against 36.7 per cent for urban telephones. The

private sector has contributed significantly to the growth of rural telephony by

providing 81.5 per cent of the rural phones as on December 31, 2009. It is

proposed to achieve rural tele-density of 25 per cent by means of 200 million

rural connections by the end of the Eleventh Five Year Plan.

Policy Initiatives

The government has taken many proactive initiatives to facilitate the rapid

growth of the Indian telecom industry.

In the area of telecom equipment manufacturing and provision of IT-

enabled services, 100 per cent FDI is permitted.

No cap on the number of access providers in any service area. In 2008,

122 new Unified Access Service (UAS) licences were granted to 17

companies in 22 services areas of the country.

Revised subscriber based criteria for allocation of Global System of

Mobile Communication (GSM) and Code Division Multiple Access

(CDMA) spectra were issued in January 2008.

To provide infrastructure support for mobile services a scheme has been

launched to provide support for setting up and managing 7,436

Page 22: Front Airtel

infrastructure sites spread over 500 districts in 27 states. As on December

31, 2009, about 6,956 towers had been set up under the scheme.

According to the Consolidated Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) Policy document,

the FDI limit in telecom services is 74 per cent subject to the following conditions:

This is applicable in case of Basic, Cellular, Unified Access Services,

National/ International Long Distance, V-Sat, Public Mobile Radio Trunked

Services

(PMRTS), Global Mobile Personal Communications Services (GMPCS) and

other value added Services.

Both direct and indirect foreign investment in the licensee company shall

be counted for the purpose of FDI ceiling. Foreign Investment shall include

investment by Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs), Non-resident Indians

(NRIs), Foreign Currency Convertible Bonds (FCCBs), American Depository

Receipts (ADRs), Global Depository Receipts (GDRs) and convertible

preference shares held by foreign entity. In any case, the 'Indian'

shareholding will not be less than 26 per cent

FDI up to 49 per cent is on the automatic route and beyond that on the

government route. FDI in the licensee company/Indian

promoters/investment companies including their holding companies shall

require approval of the Foreign Investment Promotion Board (FIPB) if it has

Page 23: Front Airtel

a bearing on the overall ceiling of 74 per cent. While approving the

investment proposals, FIPB shall take note that investment is not coming

from countries of concern and/or unfriendly entities.

The investment approval by FIPB shall envisage the conditionality that the

Company would adhere to licence Agreement

FDI shall be subject to laws of India and not the laws of the foreign

country/countries.

The Road Ahead

According to a report published by Gartner Inc in June 2009, the total mobile

services revenue in India is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate

(CAGR) of 12.5 per cent from 2009-2013 to exceed US$ 30 billion. The India

mobile subscriber base is set to exceed 771 million connections by 2013, growing

at a CAGR of 14.3 per cent in the same period from 452 million in 2009. This

growth is poised to continue through the forecast period, and India is expected to

remain the world’s second largest wireless market after China in terms of mobile

connections. "The Indian mobile industry has now moved out of its hyper growth

mode, but it will continue to grow at double-digit rates for next three years as

operators focus on rural parts of the country," said Madhusudan Gupta, senior

research analyst at Gartner. "Growth will also be triggered by increased adoption

Page 24: Front Airtel

of value-added services, which are relevant to both rural and urban markets."

Mobile market penetration is projected to increase from 38.7 per cent in 2009 to

63.5 percent in 2013, according to Gartner. Exchange

rate used: 1 USD = 46.35 INR (as on May 2010)

Executive Summary: -

In the global world economy there has been an aggressive business environment,

its becoming very difficult for organisation survival particularly to have a

competitive edge over the others. Nowadays costumer has many options to

choose from different telecom operators from the competitive market. Practically

the Question has arisen how does a corporation distinguish itself in a highly

competitive market? Business is more dependent on each other, than ever before

in order of performing products to innovate and provide services that can

differentiate from competitors.

Bharti Airtel is India’s one of the leading telecom firm. It operates from India and

it has its headquarter in New Delhi, India. Bharti Airtel provides services like

mobile, wire-line, broadband, landline and television services. Bharti Airtel is

famous for presence in world, extensive network coverage, good service and

Brand Image.

The Project was carried out for Bharti Airtel ltd Head/Corporate office Udyogvihar

Phase 4, Gurgaon. This one is centre of all leading activities in Airtel like Mobility,

B2B, Digital, Global business etc and also a centre all marketing and sale of Airtel

products and services in all around India and global as well. The Summer

Internship was carried out for 45 days in a systematic manner.

The Project was based on study of process of Inside sales and how the work done

in Inside Sales. The study was conducted in the Airtel Inside sales client partner

named as Isource in Noida Sector 127 and in Airtel office Gurgaon. I have to

analyze the work there and use of techniques like Observation, Discussion etc.

After the study it has observed that there is very tough competition between the

companies as the entire top notch companies like IBM, Accenture, SAP, Oracle,

Google etc. all are working hard. The telecom companies are selling their products

and services through Inside sales team. At the same time we are getting

Page 51: Front Airtel

information about the needs for any further improvement in marketing and sales

of Airtel products and services that can benefit the company as whole.

Finally the result of the research verify that keeping the employees satisfaction in

the sales team is the best strategy in enhancing the business will help in

SUGGESTIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

1. The prices of various services provided by Airtel are very high. Make it affordable for consumers.

2. Bring more schemes 3. Take initiation in market. 4. Creativity in advertisement is the need of the hour.

Page 76: Front Airtel

CONCLUSION:

Airtel is the market leader in Ghaziabad city. There are a no. of customers

who have migrated from other connections such as Reliance, Hutch and

BSNL. In case of Reliance(CDMA), the customer does not find variety of

handsets due to which, in course of time, the customer finds it

monotonous. Also the battery back up and battery life is short in Reliance

hand sets. Where as in case of Airtel connection, customers can switch over

to N number of hand sets according to his choice.

In case of Vodafone the customers who have traveling jobs, finds Vodafone

network weak in rural areas. Also the customers working in Godowns or

basements find Hutch connection unreachable and low connectivity

oriented.

In case of BSNL, again the problem is network oriented and there is lot of

call congestion, therefore the customer prefers Airtel network among other

brands.

In selecting a pre-paid or post-paid connection, generally the customer has

insufficient knowledge about the plans and call rates i.e. lack of awareness.

A customer generally goes for pre-paid connection because of the following

reasons:

Page 77: Front Airtel

a). Customers assumes that the pre-paid connection does not compels them to

spend beyond his expenditure limit and hence controls his budget.

b). When the customers do not have a constant source of income then he goes

for pre-paid connections. e.g. Students.
