Part 1: Comparing and Contrasting Primary and Secondary Data Sources
Introduction
Data collection has an important function in carrying out statistical analysis which can
support in revealing data findings on representing several solutions related with addressing
management challenges faced by companies (af Wåhlberg 2017). The objective of the essay is to
compare and contrast primary and secondary data sources along with evaluating the most
suitable data source that can facilitate in dealing with management challenges or real-life
business scenarios.
Discussion
Primary data is referred as first hand data gathered by the researcher himself through
conducting questionnaire surveys, observations and personal interview. Gathering primary data
is observed to be expensive and it offers high accuracy and validity that is always particular to
the needs of the researchers (Brannen 2017). On the other hand, secondary data can be explained
as data collected by someone else in their past researches that are quick and easy to obtain at
economical manner. Moreover, such data is gathered from government publications, internal
records, books and journals that might or might not be specific to needs of researchers. Among
these data sources, collection and use of primary data is deemed to be most relevant in
addressing management challenges along with real-life business scenarios (Carr et al. 2016).
This is for the reason that primary data serves as an original source of gathering most significant
data direct from the individuals facing certain challenges that can support in gathering real and
detailed data on important management challenges in order to develop effective solutions.
Moreover, primary data use is also considered justified in solving issues faced in real life
