RESEARCH
METHODOLOGY

Meaning of Research

Redman and Mory define research as a “systemized effort to gain new


knowledge.” Some people consider research as a movement, a
movement from the known to the unknown.
Research is an academic activity and as such the term should be used
in a technical sense. According to Clifford Woody, research
comprises defining and redefining problems, formulating hypothesis
or suggested solutions; collecting, organizing and evaluating data;
making deductions and reaching conclusions; and at last carefully
testing the conclusions to determine whether they fit the formulating
hypothesis.

Objectives of Research

The purpose of research is to discover answers to questions through


the application of scientific procedures. The main aim of research is
to find out the truth which is hidden and which has not been
discovered as yet. Though each research study has it’s own specific
purpose but the research objectives can be listed into a number of
broad categories, as following:-

1. To gain familiarity with a phenomenon or to achieve new


insights into it. Studies with this object in view are termed as
exploratory or formulative research studies.
2. To portray accurately the characteristics of a particular
individual, situation or a group. Studies with this object in view
are known as descriptive research studies.
3. To determine the frequency with which something occurs or
with which it is associated with something else. Studies with
this object in view are known as diagnostic research studies.
4. To test a hypothesis of a casual relationship between variables.
Such studies are known as hypothesis-testing research studies.
Significance of Research

“All process is born of inquiry. Doubt is often better than


overconfidence, for it leads to inquiry and inquiry leads to
invention.” Is a famous Hudson Maxim in context of which the
significance of research can well be understood. Increased amounts of
research make progress possible.
Research inculcates scientific and inductive thinking and it promotes
the development of logical habits of thinking and organization.
The role of research in several fields of applied economics, whether
related to business or to the economy as a whole, has greatly
increased in modern times. The increasing complex nature of business
and government has focused attention on the use of research in
solving operational problems. Research, as an aid to economic policy,
has gained added importance, both for government and business.

Research Methodology

Research methodology is a way to systematically solve the research


problem. It may be understood as a science of studying how research
is done scientifically. In it we study the various steps that are
generally adopted by a researcher in studying his research problem
along with the logic behind them. It is necessary for the researcher to
know not only the research methods or techniques but also the
methodology.
Data Collection Source
Information was collected through both primary and secondary
sources.

Primary Data: In some cases the researchers may realize the need for
collecting the first hand information. As in the case of everyday life,
if we want to have first hand information or any happening or event,
we either ask someone who knows about it or we observe it ourselves,
we do the both. Thus, the two method by which primary data can be
collected is observation and questionnaire.

Secondary Data: Any data, which have been gathered earlier for some
other purpose, are secondary data in the hands of researcher. Those
data collected first hand, either by the researcher or by someone else,
especially for the purpose of the study is known as primary data.

The data collected for this project has been taken from the secondary
source.

Sources of secondary data are :-


• Internet
• Magazines
• Publications
• Newspapers
• Brouchers

LIMITATIONS
• The data is collected from secondary source due to lack of time
for preparing the project.
• The data is not 100% accurate.

WIPRO INNOVATION
One of the four values articulated in Wipro’s Promise statement, Wipro believe innovation is a critical factor
in fuelling our growth. At Wipro, innovation is defined as the implementation of a new idea that results in a
marketable product or service. This definition ensures that creative brilliance is converted to business realities
as a result of strong processes and focused initiatives.

Wipro has realized significant business value from targeted and focused innovation programs — the benefits
of which have been passed on to our customers. This enterprise-wide focus on innovation has led to important
self-sustaining initiatives that include Flow-Brix for the publishing industry and Home Gateway, Wipro’s
residential gateway solution. Wipro’s innovation process comprises:

Theme labs
At Wipro, innovation happens around selected core themes that are strategic to them. Each theme has a theme
lab targeted towards IP or component development. Some core themes that we have taken up include:

 Home networking
 K n o w l e d g e m a n a g em e n t & c o l l ab o r a t i o n

 Content commerce
Innovation council
Wipro’s Innovation council is a core team that takes ideas
from concept to solution. It has a unique approach that
involves "crossing gates". Thus, the first gate is the idea gate
where the idea originates. This is followed by the evaluation
g a t e w h e r e i t i s a n a l y z e d i n d e p t h . O n c e t hr o u g h t h i s g a t e , t h e
idea must go through the commitment gate, which allocates
r e s o u r c e s f o r t h e p r o j e c t . A t t h e d e v e l o p m e n t g a t e , t h e pr o o f
of concept is put up and the idea is expected to bring in the
first purchase order. Once the product is launched, it goes
t h r o u g h t h e v o l u m e g a t e f r o m w h e r e i t i s a b s o r b e d i n n or m a l
business.

Advisory board
Guiding Wipro’s innovation initiatives is an advisory board
that consists of top-notch academicians, industry experts and
leading consultants from India and abroad.
