    Study Notes

    • Internal sources refer to information and data generated within an organization, such as financial reports and sales reports, obtained from databases, records, and feedback mechanisms.
    • External sources involve information and data obtained from outside the organization, like supplier price lists and competitor financial reports, sourced from industry reports, market research, and external databases.
    • Primary data is original data collected firsthand for a specific purpose through surveys, experiments, or observations, providing unique insights tailored to a research question or organizational need.
    • Secondary data consists of existing data collected by others for different purposes but repurposed for new contexts, including information from research papers, industry studies, and publicly available datasets.
    • Qualitative data is non-numeric information describing qualities or attributes, such as narratives and interviews, aiding in understanding complex phenomena and exploring attitudes and perceptions.
    • Quantitative data, on the other hand, is numeric information that can be measured and statistically analyzed, including numerical measurements and structured survey responses, facilitating objective analysis and supporting data-driven decision-making.
