 CHAPTER II

Research design
By the term ‘research’, we can understand that it’s a collection of data that includes critical
information by taking research methodologies into consideration. In other words, it is a
compilation of information or data explored by setting a hypothesis and consequently coming
up with substantive findings in an organized way. Research design refers to the overall plan
and strategy that outlines how a research study will be conducted to address a specific
research question or objective. It provides a framework for collecting, analysing, and
interpreting data in a systematic and organized manner. The research design serves as a
roadmap, guiding researchers throughout the entire research process. Research can be done
on an academic as well as on a scientific basis as well. Let’s first understand what a research
design actually means. A Research Design is simply a structural framework of various
research methods as well as techniques that are utilized by a researcher.

The research design helps a researcher to pursue their journey into the unknown but with a
systematic approach by their side. The way an engineer or architect frames a design for a
structure, likewise the researcher picks the design from various approaches in order to check
which type of research to be carried out. The research design shows the clear view on the
research and provides the exact topic or situation in the different ways where we can analyse
the research work and we could able to do it so specifically.

Research Questions or Objectives: Clearly defining the research questions or objectives is the
starting point of any research design. These questions or objectives should be specific,
measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound (SMART).

Research Approach: The research design determines the overall approach to be taken in the
study. It can be quantitative, qualitative, or mixed methods, depending on the nature of the
research questions and the data required for analysis.
Sampling Strategy: The research design outlines the target population or sample for the study.
It specifies the sampling method (e.g., random sampling, stratified sampling, convenience
sampling) and sample size, ensuring that it represents the intended population or allows for
generalizability of findings.

Data Collection Methods: The research design determines the methods and instruments for
data collection. This can include surveys, interviews, observations, experiments, document
analysis, or a combination of these approaches. The design also considers the reliability and
validity of the chosen data collection methods.

Data Analysis Plan: The research design outlines the procedures for analysing the collected
data. It specifies the statistical or qualitative analysis techniques to be used and provides a
roadmap for interpreting the data and drawing conclusions.

Ethical Considerations: Research design includes ethical considerations, ensuring that the
study follows ethical guidelines and safeguards the rights and welfare of participants. This
involves obtaining informed consent, maintaining confidentiality, and addressing any
potential risks or conflicts of interest.

Timeline and Resources: The research design includes a timeline that outlines the key
activities and milestones of the study. It also considers the required resources such as funding,
personnel, equipment, and facilities needed to carry out the research.

Limitations and Delimitations: The research design acknowledges the limitations and
delimitations of the study. Limitations refer to factors that may impact the validity or
generalizability of the findings, while delimitations define the boundaries or scope of the
research.

The research design is crucial for ensuring the rigor and validity of a study. It provides a
structured plan that guides the research process, from formulating research questions to
analysing and interpreting the data. A well-designed research study increases the likelihood of
obtaining reliable and meaningful results
The essential elements are:

The method applied for analysing collected details

 Type of research methodology

 Accurate purpose statement
 Probable objections for research
 Techniques to be implemented for collecting and analysing research
 Timeline
 Measurement of analysis
 Settings for the research study

There are different types of research methods where we could be able to choose any of the
research model to fulfil the research process this selection plays a vital role where we could
be able to specify and modify our research process the research for different specifications
always gives a greater impact and makes or shows the habit to resource it and make it a better
option towards the particular organizational impact which also makes our research more
easier and we will get adequate information and knowledge as well.

2.1) Major Types of Research Design

Keeping its dynamics into consideration, the research design is categorized into two different
perspectives, i.e., Quantitative Research Design and Qualitative Research Design. Further,
there are four main characteristics of research design which include Reliability, Neutrality,
Validity as well as Generalization. Further, a researcher should have a clear understanding of
how their project can be implemented in the research design. Let’s explore what Quantitative
and Qualitative Research Designs mean:
2.1.1) Quantitative Research Design

In Quantitative Research Design, a researcher examines the various variables while including
numbers as well as statistics in a project to analyse its findings. The use of graphics, figures,
pie charts is the main form of data collection measurement and meta-analysis (it is
information about the data by the data). Quantitative research design is a research approach
that focuses on collecting and analysing numerical data to answer research questions and test
hypotheses. It involves the systematic collection and analysis of data using statistical
methods.

2.1.2) Qualitative Research Design

This type of research is quite contrary to quantitative research design. It is explanatory in

nature and always seeks answers to “What’s” and “How’s”. It mainly focuses on why a
specific theory exists and what would be the respondent’s answer to it. This allows a
researcher to draw a conclusion with proper findings. Case studies are mainly used in
Qualitative Research Design in order to understand various social complexities. Qualitative
research design is a research approach that focuses on understanding and interpreting the
subjective experiences, perspectives, and meanings of individuals or groups. It aims to
explore complex phenomena, capture rich and contextual data, and generate in-depth insights.

2.3) Research design I opted

The research design that we have taken for the project is the combination of both qualitative
and quantitative design. Since this shows the exact view of various objectives and shows a
clear information on which this has a separate importance where it gives us an exact
information for the development in various sources and also gives a free idea to take the
research forward and brings a great opportunity to conduct this research.

Quantitative research design process helped me to carry my business in a very systematic

way and also is a good scope where it has a definite object in showcasing the exact scenario
and also shows a multiple information and also gives an exact informative resource and also
gives the objectives for the resources and makes the work easier and helps in making the
responses more precise and brings in the establishment and development in the sources.

Qualitative research helped me to continue my research when I was having a question on the
certain topics it made me to choose one of them and helped me to comprise the information
and create our own responsive resources. Qualitative research made a clear observation for
the extraction of the research and also could be able to do the project as soon as it was able to
be done and also helps in making the research easier and also could be able to format the
process and made my research useful.

2.4) Scope of the study

The scope of a study explains the extent to which the research area will be explored in the
work and specifies the parameters within the study will be operating. Basically, this means
that we will have to define what the study is going to cover and what it is focusing on.
Similarly, we also have to define what the study is not going to cover.

We have to be careful when we define our scope or area of focus. We should remember that if
we broaden the scope too much, we might not be able to do justice to the work or it might
take a very long time to complete. Consider the feasibility of our work before we write down
the scope. Again, if the scope is too narrow, the findings might not be generalizable.

Defining the scope of a project:

 Focuses on research goals

 Clarifies the expectations on research project
 Helps us determine potential biases in our research methodology by acknowledging
the limits of our research study
 Letting the information about the company in a complete process
 Identifies the limitations of the research
2.5) Objectives of the Study

2.5.1) Understanding Organizational Structures

They define a specific hierarchy within an organization. A successful organizational structure

defines each employee's job and how it fits within the overall system. Put simply, the
organizational structure lays out who does what so the company can meet its objectives.

2.5.2) Understanding Products and services

A product is a tangible item that is put on the market for acquisition, attention, or
consumption, while a service is an intangible item, which arises from the output of one or
more individuals. In fact, a majority of products carry with them an element of service.

2.5.3) Various Strategies

Business strategy is all about how your company chooses to position itself to gain a
competitive advantage. Few of the Strategies are Structuralist, Growth, Cost Leadership,
Differentiation, Price-Skimming, Acquisition, Focus.

2.5.4) Various Departments

The Departments of NGO fall into three groups which are responsible for activities related to
administration, publicity and programs/projects.
2.6) Methodology of Research

Research methodology is a way of explaining how a researcher intends to carry out their
research. It's a logical, systematic plan to resolve a research problem. A methodology details a
researcher's approach to the research to ensure reliable, valid results that address their aims
and objectives. It encompasses what data they're going to collect and where from, as well as
how it's being collected and analysed.

A research methodology gives research legitimacy and provides scientifically sound findings.
It also provides a detailed plan that helps to keep researchers on track, making the process
smooth, effective and manageable. A researcher's methodology allows the reader to
understand the approach and methods used to reach conclusions.

Having a sound research methodology in place provides the following benefits:

 Other researchers who want to replicate the research have enough information to do
so.
 Researchers who receive criticism can refer to the methodology and explain their
approach.
 It can help provide researchers with a specific plan to follow throughout their
research.
 The methodology design process helps researchers select the correct methods for the
objectives.
 It allows researchers to document what they intend to achieve with the research from
the outset.

2.6.1) Sampling Plan in research methodology

When creating a sample design, a researcher decides from who or what they'll collect data.
They also choose the techniques and procedures they'll use to select items or individuals for
the sample. Sampling plan is an important component of research methodology that involves
selecting a subset of individuals or elements from a larger population for study. It is crucial to
ensure that the selected sample represents the population accurately and allows for
generalization of the findings. There are several types of sample design that fall into two
main categories:

2.6.2) Probability sampling

This sampling method uses a random sample from the pool of people or items we are
interested in, called the population, and is random or chance sampling. Every person or item
in the population has an equal chance of being selected. Using this method is the best way to
get a truly representative sample, and researchers can generalize the study's results to the
entire population. Probability sampling is a sampling technique in which each member of the
population has a known, non-zero chance of being selected for the sample. It allows for the
selection of a representative sample and enables statistical inferences to be made about the
population.

2.6.3) Nonprobability sampling

Nonprobability sampling is not random, as the researcher deliberately selects people or items
for the sample. Researchers also refer to this method as deliberate sampling, judgment
sampling or purposive sampling. Nonprobability sampling is a sampling technique where the
selection of individuals or elements from the population is based on subjective criteria or
convenience, rather than using a random selection process. Unlike probability sampling,
nonprobability sampling does not ensure that every member of the population has an equal
chance of being included in the sample. Unlike probability sampling, non-probability
sampling methods do not provide an equal chance of selection for each member of the target
population. Instead, participants are selected based on subjective criteria or convenience.
Every person or item in the population doesn't have an equal chance of being selected, and
the results are typically not generalizable to the entire population.
2.7) Limitations of the Research

Limitations are important to understand for placing research findings in context, interpreting
the validity of the scientific work, and ascribing a credibility level to the conclusions of
published research. This goes beyond listing the magnitude and direction of random and
systematic errors and validity problems. This helps to contextualize the research for the
reader so, they can better anticipate the extent of the details to come. The limitations of a
study are its flaws or shortcomings which could be the result of unavailability of resources,
small sample size, flawed methodology, etc.

Limitations of this research are consisting of various problems while conducting the research
Some of the issues we faced while conducting this research are:

 Getting approvals from our respective mentors from their busy work timings.
 Lack of proper information and resources from the websites, which led us to gain the
knowledge from the professors and lecturers.
 In order to give quality research, we might have left with the limited resources which
led us to comprise the information.
 Working in improper times and doing all the work which was given in the company.

Organizational Study
3.1) Industry Profile
The service sector is the largest and fastest growing sector in India and has the highest labour
productivity, but employment has not kept pace with the share of the sector in gross domestic
product and has not produced the number or quality of jobs needed. There is no policy
leading to inclusive growth, and multiple, uncoordinated governing bodies adversely affect
the growth of the sector. Many regulations are outdated, and there are restrictions and barriers
on foreign direct investment.

While India is among the top 10 World Trade Organization members in service exports and
imports, the growth and export of services is less than that of the People's Republic of China,
and exports are competitive in only a few services and are concentrated in a few markets.
Most of the poor in India do not have access to basic services such as healthcare and
education, and infrastructure is weak so the cost-of-service delivery is high. Although India
wants to be a knowledge hub, there is no uniformity in the quality and standards of education,
and formal education does not guarantee employability. Policy measures are suggested for
inclusive growth that will also enhance India's global competitiveness in services.

As per the provisional estimates for gross value added (GVA), services sector growth
moderated in 2018-19 to 7.5 per cent rate from 8.1 per cent in 2017-18. This was due to a
deceleration in the sub-sectors ‘trade, hotels, transport, communication & broadcasting
services’ to 6.9 per cent and ‘public administration and defence & others services’ to 8.6 per
cent in 2018-19. On the bright side, growth in the sub-sector ‘financial services, real estate &
professional services’ picked up to 7.4 per cent in 2018-19 from 6.2 per cent in 2017-18.
Despite the recent growth moderation, services sector growth continues to outperform
agriculture and manufacturing sector growth, contributing more than 60 per cent to total GVA
growth.
The service sector in India has emerged as a significant contributor to the country's economy,
playing a crucial role in employment generation, GDP growth, and foreign exchange
earnings. It encompasses a wide range of industries that provide intangible goods and
services, including finance, IT and software, telecommunications, healthcare, tourism,
hospitality, education, professional services, and more.

The service sector of India is the most popular and highly developing and growing sector of
India which has the Highest labour productivity. India has the fastest growing service sector
in the whole world and India contributes about 66% to the Indian GDP. However, the
Employment rate in the service sector is still less to some extent. The government of India is
planning to take necessary steps through which they can provide a large amount of
Employment in the service sector. The emergence of the service sector was prominent in the
introduction and establishment of the globalization process in India.

The service sector includes services like, banking and finance, IT and Technology, energy
sector, education, logistics, export and import, Media, health care, telecommunication,
storage and communication, hotel Industries, legal and law industry, business services, etc. all
these are parts of the service sector. The service sector provides the maximum amount of
economic profit to the country. A service sector is a sector that provides a variety of services
to the people. In simple words, a service sector is a medium of connection between the
primary sector and the secondary sector. The other name for the service sector is the tertiary
sector.

The service sector in India is the fastest growing service sector in the whole world. And this
sector provides a good amount of Employment to the citizens of India. The service sector of
India shares almost 66% of the Indian GDP. Not only this, for the past few years the service
sector has contributed to the development of the Indian Economy to a large extent. There are
lots of departments in the service sector that are responsible for the rise in the economic
development of India. Those are firstly the Information Technology sector, then IT associated
services, restaurant and hotels, Telecommunication, Business sector, financial services, and
Community services. Among these, the business services are the most important types of the
sector under the service sector.
The service sector of India is a very important concept of general knowledge. The service
sector of India is the fastest growing service sector in the whole world. As per some reports it
was encountered that the service sector of India contributes 66% of the Economy to the
Indian GDP. The service sector is a sector that provides a variety of services to the citizens of
a country. The emergence of the service sector was noticed slowly after the establishment of
globalization and with the growth of privatization, and urbanization in the country from the
year 1961.

The service sector, also known as the tertiary sector, is the third tier in the three-sector
economy. Instead of product production, this sector produces services maintenance and
repairs, training, or consulting. Examples of service sector jobs include housekeeping, tours,
nursing, and teaching. By contrast, individuals employed in the industrial or manufacturing
sectors produce tangible goods, such as cars, clothes, or equipment.

The service or tertiary sector is the third piece of a three-part economy. The first economic
sector, the primary sector, covers the farming, mining, and agricultural business activities in
the economy. The secondary sector covers manufacturing and business activities that
facilitate the production of tangible goods from the raw materials produced by the primary
sector. The service sector, though classified as the third economic sector, is responsible for
the largest portion of the global economy’s business activity.

Services to the customer they consider as a backbone of customer relationship. They value
this relationship not only for our growth but also for the enhancement in the enhancement in
the product performance and its quality. For them after sales services are just a part of our

They provide services like:

1) Transportation of molasses
2) Transportation of ethanol
3) Carriage services
4) Storage for goods
5) Transportation of common goods
6) Other carriage services

3.7) Services

3.7.1) Transportation of molasses

Molasses is a thick, dark, syrupy byproduct that is derived from the processing of sugar cane
or sugar beet into sugar. It is a viscous, sticky substance with a distinctively sweet and robust
flavour. During the sugar refining process, sugar cane or sugar beets are crushed to extract the
juice. This juice undergoes several stages of heating and clarification to remove impurities
and concentrate the sugar content. As the liquid is boiled and reduced, a thick syrup with high
sugar concentration forms. This syrup is molasses.

Molasses is typically stored and transported in specialized containers and tanks to ensure its
preservation and prevent contamination.

Storage Tanks: Molasses is stored in large, sealed storage tanks made of stainless steel or
other non-reactive materials. These tanks are designed to maintain the quality and consistency
of the molasses while protecting it from external factors such as moisture, air, and pests. The
tanks are often insulated to regulate temperature and prevent excessive heat or cold, which
could affect the molasses' viscosity and quality.
Transportation Containers: Molasses is commonly transported in bulk using specialized
tankers or containers. These tankers are designed to safely transport molasses over long
distances. The tanks are made of materials that are resistant to corrosion and are equipped
with valves, pumps, and hoses for loading and unloading the molasses. The tankers are also
often insulated to maintain the desired temperature during transportation.

3.7.2) Transportation of ethanol

Ethanol, also known as ethyl alcohol or grain alcohol, is a clear, colourless, and volatile
liquid. It is a type of alcohol that is produced through the fermentation of sugars by yeast or
through chemical synthesis. Ethanol is commonly used as a solvent, fuel, and an ingredient in
various consumer and industrial products.

This company mainly transports two types of ethanol:

1.) One which is used for alcohol or beverages

2.) One which is used for medical purposes

Storage Tanks: Ethanol is typically stored in large, sealed storage tanks made of stainless
steel or other materials that are resistant to corrosion. These tanks are designed to prevent
leakage and minimize the risk of fire or explosion. The tanks may be equipped with
temperature control systems to maintain the desired temperature range for the stored ethanol.

Transportation Containers: Ethanol is commonly transported in bulk using tankers or

shipping containers specifically designed for hazardous materials. These containers are made
of materials that are compatible with ethanol, such as stainless steel or aluminium. They are
designed to withstand the pressures and temperatures associated with ethanol transportation
and to prevent leaks or spills.

Safety Regulations: Ethanol transportation is subject to various safety regulations to protect

against accidents and ensure the proper handling of hazardous materials. These regulations
may include requirements for labelling, placarding, documentation, and the use of appropriate
safety equipment and procedures

3.7.3) Carriage services

Other than transportation of molasses and ethanol, Arnenco also provides carriage services
like:

 Freight Transportation: Transportation companies offer freight services for the

movement of goods and cargo. This includes the transportation of raw materials,
finished products, and supplies.
 Package and Parcel Delivery: Transportation companies provide package and parcel
delivery services for individuals and businesses. They handle the transportation and
delivery of small packages and parcels, often using express or overnight delivery
options. These services are commonly used for e-commerce shipments, document
delivery, and urgent packages.

3.7.4) Storage facilities

Other than storing molasses and ethanol, Arnenco also stores small raw material, supplies and
finished products. They help small manufacturers to transport their goods for a small
exchange of fee. Arnenco has a storage unit around 900 sq. feet. Other than storing molasses
and ethanol they sometimes store these products.

Sometimes, they store products like raw materials which are ready to be manufactured are
also stored here. Like

1. Vegetables
2. Timber
3. Other chemicals
4. Essentials for house hold items etc...

They have separate storage space for these items so that they don’t get damaged or spoiled
over the time or in case of any contaminated touch or unhygienic practices.

3.8) Business partners and Clients

Being a recent start-up, it is hard to find business partners and clients for the business and for

companies’ growth. Gaining trust of the customers and traders or business providers is the
biggest milestone that starts usually face. High competition, going back to same retailer or
service provider also plays an essential key factor which plays a vital role in a start-up’s
success factor. And being in the service sector, and that to in transportation business, chances
of survival of a start up is going to be nightmare for the company.

For Arnenco, finding the service provider or partner who is interested to business with them
was hard to find. But eventually, their hard work paid off, now Arnenco has handful of clients
who are interested to do business with them, even though they are only one and half year old.

Many small-time traders who are eager to send their goods to their place of market and
people who are ready to invest in good security and quality of products while transporting
their goods is the key factor that Arnenco is mostly working on and they are quite successful.
As of now Arnenco has seven traders who are eager to send their good to the market. Arnenco
does this has side hustle. Their main focus is transporting molasses and chemical drugs which
are used in medical treatments. They are essentials good which need to utmost care while
storing and while transporting. Arnenco says they never had any problem while doing so as
they trust their team and assure their traders that they are reliable. And they are not mistaken.

3.9) Instrumentation

Instrumentation refers to the practice and technology of measuring, monitoring, and

controlling various parameters and variables in a system or process. It involves the use of
instruments or devices to collect data and provide feedback for analysis, control, or
observation purposes. Instrumentation systems typically consist of sensors or transducers that
convert physical quantities into electrical signals, signal conditioning circuits to amplify or
filter the signals, data acquisition devices to capture and digitize the signals, and display or
recording devices to present or store the data for analysis.

Modern instrumentation also incorporates advanced technologies like computer control,

automation, and data analysis. It allows for real-time monitoring, remote operation, and
integration with computer networks or control systems, enabling efficient and accurate
measurement, control, and analysis of complex systems

 Global Positioning System (GPS): GPS is a satellite-based navigation system that

enables real-time tracking of vehicles. Transportation companies use GPS devices and
 software to track the location, speed, and route of their vehicles. This helps in
optimizing routing, monitoring delivery times, and improving overall fleet
management.
 Freight Management Systems: These systems handle tasks such as load planning,
carrier selection, shipment tracking, and freight billing. Freight management systems
improve efficiency, visibility, and collaboration in the transportation and logistics
process.
 Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS): ITS encompasses various technologies and
instruments used in transportation management. This includes traffic control systems,
dynamic message signs, automated toll collection, and traffic monitoring cameras.
ITS helps optimize traffic flow, improve safety, and provide real-time information to
drivers and transportation authorities.
 Warehouse Management Systems (WMS): WMS software provides comprehensive
management of warehouse operations, including inventory tracking, order fulfilment,
and optimization of storage space. WMS systems integrate with other technologies,
such as barcode or RFID systems, to streamline operations and improve overall
efficiency.
 Barcode or RFID Systems: Implementing barcode or radio frequency identification
(RFID) technology helps in tracking and managing inventory. Barcode systems use
scanners to read barcodes on products or packaging, while RFID systems use radio
waves to identify and track items with RFID tags. These technologies facilitate
accurate inventory control and enable efficient picking and replenishment processes.
 Shelving Systems: Shelving systems are versatile and widely used in go downs. They
can be in the form of static shelves, racks, or pallet racks. Shelving systems provide
organized storage for various types of goods, making it easy to access and manage
inventory.

 Pallet Racking: Pallet racking systems utilize racks designed to store palletized goods.
They are particularly useful for bulk storage and are commonly used in warehouses.
Pallet racks enable efficient use of vertical space, allowing for high-density storage.
Above listed are some technologies Arnenco is using to maintain the quality of their company
and maintain good reputation of the company. Even though it is costly, sensitive and hard to
control it is thought with enough technology and training on regular basis to the workers
Arnenco believes that they can achieve success who think that quality matters the most. And
they are not wrong about it.

Arnenco trains their and updates the systems on regular basis like for every 20 days they
check and conduct inspection about the machinery which is personally monitored by the
Board of directors themselves.
