As the company has made a research on the CSR provide better environment for the
society, they are having a target to increase the awareness of the people and society. So they
have to make a proper research on the people which are connected with them. Analysis have to
be based on the tools and techniques by which company can get the exact results of the research.
As they have made a primary research by the qualitative data method so it is essential for them to
make a proper and appropriate analysis of the research results by using appropriate techniques.
So here are some techniques which can use the company to analyse the results;
Check Sheet: It is a format of cell and tables in which company can fill their data to analyse it,
so managers have to full fill the check sheet form by the data they get from the research (Müller,
and Turner, 2010). They have to fulfil the columns and rows with the data to make a proper
analysis. It reduce the threat to forgot a data from the research and it has a potential to provide
better results as per the requirements of the company.
Scatter Diagram: This diagram is based on the variables which are based on the results of the
data. It can help to the A.K. Retail company to make assess the variables given in the data. It can
help to the company to analyse the changes in to the data which can make an indirect impacts on
the other data statics(Seddon, Calvert and Yang, 2010). As the company improves their
environmental effectiveness to provide benefits to the society, it creates an adverse impact on the
organisation to increase their positive image in the targeted customers.
Histogram diagram: These diagrams are related to the graph which can help to the managers
and leaders which are working in the organisation to analyse and as well as assume a clear view
of the research data. Most of the customers demands that they are highly affected by the air
pollution so it can be easy to judge by the diagrams that what are the expectation of the
customers.
