Collection of both primary and secondary data is necessary for the company if it isplanning to conduct any sort of research on topic that is related to specific discipline. Secondarydata is related to past and it indicates the situation which was prevalent in the earlier years inrespect to topic of the research (Hu, Zhang and Liang, 2009). In other words it can also be saidthat, from analysing secondary data researcher gets an overview of the past scenario. On theother hand, there is a primary data which is used to collect facts and figures relevant to currentscenario. By analysing and applying statistical and research tools on the collected data,researcher and top management comes to know about the current trends on the topic on whichresearch was conducted.
