Research Data Analysis, conclusion and recommmendations

Chapter 4: Data Analysis and Findings
This chapter should present and interpret the data collected during the research.

2.10. Recommended Structure
i. Introduction
Provide a brief introduction to the chapter.
ii. Data Analysis
Briefly explain what data analysis means and its purpose in research.
iii. Data Analysis Techniques Used
Explain the analytical techniques used in the research, such as:
• Frequency tables.
• Percentages.
• Mean.
• Graphs and charts.
• Other appropriate statistical techniques.
iv. Analysis of Primary Data
Present the analysis:
• Question-wise, where appropriate.
• Research-objective-wise.
• Using suitable tables, graphs, charts and calculations.
All tables and figures should have appropriate titles and numbering.
Example of a Mean Calculation
Lower Limit (LL) Upper Limit (UL) Midpoint (X) Frequency (f) Frequency × X
20 25 22.5 4 90
26 30 28 5 140
31 35 33 8 264
36 40 38 1 38
41 45 43 2 86


Where applicable, calculations should be clearly presented and explained.

2.11. Findings
The findings should be organised according to the research objectives.
A useful approach is to convert each research objective into an appropriate subheading, while removing the introductory phrase such as "To study...".
For example:
Research Objective:
To study the impact of customer satisfaction on customer loyalty.
Findings Subheading:
Impact of Customer Satisfaction on Customer Loyalty
The findings section should normally be approximately 3–5 pages, although it may be extended where the research requires additional discussion.
All external sources used to explain or support the findings must be appropriately referenced.

Chapter 5: Conclusion and Recommendations
2.12. Conclusion
The conclusions must be based directly on the findings and data analysis presented in Chapter 4.
The conclusion should:
• Summarise the major findings.
• Relate the findings to the research objectives.
• Clearly indicate whether the research objectives have been achieved.
• Avoid introducing new information that was not discussed earlier in the report.

2.13. Recommendations
Provide practical recommendations based on the research findings.
Recommendations should be:
• Specific.
• Realistic.
• Relevant to the research findings.
• Actionable.
• Directed towards appropriate stakeholders.
The combined Conclusion and Recommendations section should normally be approximately 3–5 pages, where appropriate.

6. Significance for Stakeholders
Explain how the research findings may benefit relevant stakeholders.
Depending on the research topic, stakeholders may include:
• Employers.
• Employees.
• Businesses.
• Customers.
• Managers.
• Government organisations.
• Industry bodies.
• Other relevant organisations or groups.
The discussion should clearly explain how the research contributes to or supports these stakeholders.
