3. Research Methodology

3.1 Qualitative Approach

Qualitative Research is primarily exploratory research. It is used to gain an understanding of underlying reasons, opinions, and motivations. It provides insights into the problem or helps to develop ideas or hypotheses for potential quantitative research. Qualitative Research is also used to uncover trends in thought and opinions, and dive deeper into the problem. Qualitative data collection methods vary using unstructured or semi-structured techniques. Some common methods include focus groups (group discussions), individual interviews, and participation/observations. The sample size is typically small, and respondents are selected to fulfill a given quota.

3.2 Focus Group Discussions

A focus group discussion (FGD) is a good way to gather together people from similar backgrounds

or experiences to discuss a specific topic of interest. The group of participants is guided by a moderator (or group facilitator) who introduces topics for discussion and helps the group to

participate in a lively and natural discussion amongst them. The strength of FGD relies on allowing the participants to agree or disagree with each other so that it provides an insight into how a group

thinks about an issue, about the range of opinion and ideas, and the inconsistencies and variation that exists in a particular community in terms of beliefs and their experiences and practices.

FGDs can be used to explore the meanings of survey findings that cannot be explained statistically, the range of opinions/views on a topic of interest and to collect a wide variety of local terms. In bridging research and policy, FGD can be useful in providing an insight into different opinions among different parties involved in the change process, thus enabling the process to be managed more smoothly. It is also a good method to employ prior to designing questionnaires.

3.3 Why Qualitative Approach

In topic such as ‘’Consumer buying behavior on the arrival of Reliance Jio.” We are more concern

about the quality of the answers and the subconscious gestures that we are going to get form the respondents rather than interacting with large number of people and compromising our quality of

research.The open-ended structures of qualitative research make it possible to get underneath

superficial responses and rational thoughts to gather information from an individual’s emotional response. This is critically important to this form of researcher because it is an emotional response

which often drives a person’s decisions or influences their behavior.

3.4 Advantages of Qualitative Approach

a. Subject materials can be evaluated with greater detail.

b. Research frameworks can be fluid and based on incoming or available data.

c. Qualitative research data is based on human experiences and observations.

d. Gathered data has a predictive quality to it.

e. Qualitative research operates within structures that are fluid.

f. Creativity becomes a desirable quality within qualitative research.

g. Qualitative research can create industry-specific insights.

h. Smaller sample sizes are used in qualitative research, which can save on costs.

i. Qualitative research provides more content for creative’s and marketing teams.
