ж Methodology:
Methods followed to perform a job or conducting activities to complete a task is called
methodology. In conducting this study the following methodology was adopted in collecting
data & information, preparation of reports etc.
ж Type of research:
The purpose of market research is to provide relevant data that will help solve marketing
problems a business will encounter. This is absolutely necessary in the start-up phase.
Conducting thorough market surveys is the foundation of any successful business. In fact,
strategies such as market segmentation and product differentiation would be impossible to
develop without market research.
There is several kind of research approach; we use descriptive research approach for analysis
marketing mix of coca-cola. Descriptive research is to describe things, such as the market
potential for a product or the demographics and attitudes of consumer who buy the product.
To use this approach we analysis market mix and consumer satisfaction level of coca-cola.
ж Sources of data:
To gather company information we use both primary data and secondary data.
ж Secondary data:
Secondary data consist of information that already exists somewhere, having been collected
for another purpose. Secondary data provided a good starting point for research and often help
to define research problem and objectives. This is available more quickly and at a lower cost
then primary data. We collect secondary data form Internet, Business magazine.

ж Primary data:
Primary data consist information collected for the specific purpose at hand. We collect
primary data form consumer and company through some question. For example, to consumer
“Are you satisfied about test of coca-cola”, “Which advertisement you like most?”, “What
price level you expected from Coca-Cola?”, to company “What type of discount you provided
to your consumer?”,
“What are you doing to increase your sales?”, “How you full fill consumer need of coca-cola
in Bangladesh?”
ж Research approach for primary data collection:
Research approach for gathering primary data collection we use both observational and
surveys approach.
Observational research involves gathering primary data by observing relevant people, action
and situation. Observational research can obtain information that people are unwilling or
unable to provide. In some case, observation may be the only way to obtain the needed
information. In contrast, some thing simply cannot be observed, such as feelings, attitudes and
motives, or private behavior .long-term or infrequent behavior is also difficult to observe.
Because of this limitation, we use observation method long with surveys data collection
method. We use observational research approach when we asking question to the consumer or
to the company employee.
Survey research, involves gathering of primary data by asking people question about their
knowledge, attitude, preference and buying behavior. This is the most widely used method for
primary data collection, is the approach best suited for gathering descriptive information .The
major advantage of survey research is its flexibility it can be used to obtain many difficult
kind of information in many different situation. We use survey research approach by making
questioner for consumer and company.

ж Contact method for primary data collection:
Information can be collected by mail, telephone, and personal interview or online. We use
personal interview to collect primary data. Personal interviewing takes two forms individual
and focus group.
Individual interviewing involves talking with people in their homes or office, on the streets,
or in the shopping malls. This form of interview is fixable .Through this form interviewing
can ask different types of question and observe reactions and behavior of consumers. We use
this form to collect our information.
Focus group interviewing involves inviting 6 to 10 people to gather for a few hours with an
interviewer to talk about a product, services, or organization, the interviewer “focus” the
group discussion on important issues. We use this form when we conducting group
discussion.
ж Sampling plan for primary data collection:
We draw a conclusion about larger groups of consumer by studying a small sample of total
consumer population. A sample is a segment of the population selected to represents the
population as a whole. By that we can make accurate estimates of the thoughts and behaviors
of the larger population. We take no probability convenience sample. This represents the
researches selects the easiest population members form which to obtain information. We
select 30 people form our family for primary data collection.
ж Research instruments:
To collect primary data we use questioner. We use objectives type question and open
question.

ж Limitation of the study:
Every company has some secrecy, which cannot be and should not be disclose to an outsider
so we had some limitations to enter in to the affairs of the company in depth. Moreover, the
employees of the company had their own routine duties. In spite of their full cooperation we
failed to discuss about every intended aspects in details.
ж Lack of information:
Information on which is so important for prepare a report. The main limitation of our making
report is lack of information. The limited sources of secondary information and the controlled
accessibility caused difficulty in getting the confidential information. For example, records of
product real price were restricted as it is not private limited company
Although we are not got enough information from internet about coca-cola on basic of
Bangladesh market
ж Lack of time:
Our course duration is in limit time. In this short time we can not prepare our report properly.
ж Lack of marketing intelligence:
Marketing intelligence is systematically collection and analysis of public available
information but to be a student we have lack of marketing intelligence. For lack of marketing
intelligence we can not get collect information.
ж Lack of professional knowledge:
As a student we are not professional about marketing analysis. Professional researcher has
vast knowledge about marketing analysis. For lack of professional knowledge we can not
make our report properly.
