INTRODUCTION
Data analysis is the procedure of examining, correcting, transforming and modelling the
data information with the aim of finding some useful details, providing conclusions and helping

gives an overview of how companies take this data base in use to make plans, objectives and
process the procedure for increasing their trade and revenue generation activities. This report is
based on the use of advance research and task assessment for organisations to maintain
stableness and flexibility in the future period.
MAIN BODY
1.Examine the procurement of raw material and supplied according to the needs of company.
Data is referred to as the collection of numerical values, measurements or observations.
Sit is the process of arranging, collecting, measuring the subject matter to build conclusions
which will assist the enterprise in finalising upon the decisions. The data is the sum of several
different units in a compound manner so that it can be changes as per the business needs. The
raw data is collected and merged on various grounds and on the basis of various different

point that it describes the diversification that it brings in the business.the excel sheet provided
gives the information in three different parts, the first section gives the data relating to Thailand
1

Pakistan also and is given in excel sheet two. The businesses have identified the hindrances
which could badly affect the business and the news informations which could shackle the
goodwill of the company in the market. The business enterprises sort out the data by utilising the
qualitative and quantitative techniques to asses the risk occurrence and its effect with the use of
functions such as replace, count if, sum if and range. The company uses statistics tool such as
mean, mode and median for computing the data and communicating the informations to the user.
The data analysts utilise the information in this report for forecasting consumer tastes and
preferences which change frequently, for benefiting the organisational productivity and passing

2. Deciding the various alternatives which can provide benefit to management for selecting the
location and helps in investment activity
2

The performance of the company can be evaluated or estimated with various ways of this
two countries Thailand and Pakistan.
Labour laws- These are the laws and regulations which is made by the government for
keeping the coordination among employees, organisation, work union and the public authority. It
ought to be followed by every organization for maintaining financial condition and are termed as
workforce laws. These rules will supply the advantages to organisation for running of activities
in a speedy way. If any individual do not comply any policies then government can apply legal
actions. It is important for each worker to follow the laws. Theses rules should be applied strictly
in the organisation so that no individual can harm the rights of staffs (Gupta, 2018).
Availability of finance- The second stage is to gather the funds for establishing the
branch in different countries or for collecting different sources. The next compennt is to
determine the location so organisation can raise funds. The compnay can take the financial help
without facing any challenges. Entity can raise the funds by long term and short term sources of
finance. It gives assistance to meet out their short term liquidity in market and for meeting its
daily expenditure.
Illegal crimes- It represents that organisation have to supervise the market investigation
before starting the project. Any unlawful activity will harm the goodwill of the enterprise. Hence
the organisation has to analysis the criminal data in those areas where entity is doing the tasks.
This is done to ignore any possibility of occurrence of riots in the entity's journey. If organisation
is involving in any activity such as theft, cheating the parties and disorder than organisation will
suffer a big amount of loss. Through this customer will panic to come in that location.
Transportation- The fourth step that organisation has to focus before initiating the
business task is Transport. The owner has to realise that there is accessibility of conveyance near
the business location place. Transportation is the essential task which is required at each stage. If
entity does not have conveyance facility than it becomes hurdle for entity to trade their
merchandise in the economy (Kahila-Tani, Kytta, and Geertman, 2019). It will effect on the
revenue of the business concern.
Custom Duty- If the business concern is production the commodities then company has
to make payment of excise duty. Company has to comply the rules of custom duty for initiating
his trading activity. It is the responsibility which is implemented when commodities are
transported across national countries. It is the tax which is imposed on import or export of
3

commodities. By this accumulated amount government gains revenues and can monitor on the
motion of products.
Electricity- Organisation are required to establish his business in that locality where
there is adequate availability of electricity. Electricity supply should be supplied in 24 hrs. If
there is shortfall of electricity than establishment will face hurdles to carry out their
manufacturing supply. It will deploy the resources, labour will remain idle and establishment has
to cut out the production units. It is the main demand for any enterprise (Kusi-Sarpong, Gupta,
and Sarkis, 2019).
3. Find out the information which is used for enquires by the synopsis methods.
Measuring the means for analysing the central tendency:
The data value supplied by different sources is represented by a central point which is
considered as prime propensity. The above determinant is used various aspects in the economy
like labour laws, illegal crime rate, transportation, custom Duty, electricity and so on.
 Mean is considered is most basic measurement of central tendency. It is the average of
the some of the data value and total number of observation. The mean value of the data
represent whole of data, this makes analysis easy to understand and explain. Mean is
calculated by different methods based on the situation it is being used in. it is also called
arithmetic mean.
 Median is the statistical tool used for measurement of a data 's central most point. It is
calculated by sorting the data in the ascending or descending order. This method is useful
when the data is influenced by extreme values. It has variance when the data is even or
odd. It is calculated by taking the mean of middle to data values.
 Mode it is most frequently occurred tern in an observation. This statistical tool is very
useful for a real life situation. It denotes the most highest frequency value. It gives full
overview about the data taken (Luthra, and Mangla, 2018).
 The business entity has made the conclusion by taking 5 stages concept of Likert scale
which is as follows : No hindrance, Minor hindrance, Medium hindrance, Major
hindrance, very critical hindrance. This method of measurement works on clients or end
users feedbacks. The respondents has to give feedback or answer to the discussed 5
points of Likert tool and make a decision from the responses received by the feedback.

that the number of respondents related to Thailand find “No obstacle”. While the next related to
the Pakistan that says is “Minor obstacle” to “Moderate obstacle”. In context of the given data
the median are 1 and 2, it presents that the mean of the analysis went for “Minor obstacle” or

These can be help in distinguishing or recognising as “Minor obstacle” and Moderate obstacle”.
The respective median of this series are 1 and 2 in the regard of world. It presents the important
or better positions so it display the biggest number of writing to go with the options 1 that is “no
hurdle” for the purpose of testing the numbers for the Thailand. In the context of respondents, the
