Report on Electronic Media

Introduction:

Television is a medium which attract a wide audience. It is an ideal tool for information, communication, education, entertainment and news etc. Television is like a window to see outer world. Through this window we can see what is happening around us. In Bangladesh there are many television channels. These televisions channels are working as strong electronic media in our country. These channels have created so much competitive field among them that continuously surfing those channels has become a habit for us. Thus a research was conducted through questionnaire survey to extract the information based on the perception of the audience about the electronic media in our country.

This report entitled ‘Urban Based Electronic Media Preferences Analysis’ is a fundamental requirement for the completion of the course Marketing Research (MKT-409). The main purpose of this report is to extract the information of the electronic media in the context of Bangladesh using specific research method. Under the instruction and guidance of the course instructor Mr. Shamsad Ahmed, we have taken the initiative to conduct the research and prepare this report with much precision and by being completely unbiased.

The general objective of this report is to provide a synopsis of the electronic media of Bangladesh. It is also required for the completion of this course. Beside the general objective, the objectives behind this report are given below:

Primary objective:

The primary objective of the report is—

To analyze on the issue ‘Urban Based Electronic Media Preferences Analysis’.

To disclose the precise scenario of the electronic media through survey and SPSS software.

To analyze and recommend on the mentioned issues.

Secondary objective:

The secondary objective to prepare this report is—

To fulfill the requirements of our course Marketing Research.

To have a clear understanding about the activity of specific research technique that is survey.

To illustrate the position of Electronic Media based companies.

To analyze the audiences demographic profile.

To identify the audiences preference.

To have a clear understanding about the SPSS software.

To fulfill the requirements of our course “Marketing Research”.

To gather experience and knowledge of doing a professional report.

This research study will cover the topic “Urban Based Electronic Media Preferences Analysis’” and its related issues. It also includes recommendations against the selected issues. This report can be used as a secondary source for the Electronic Media based companies.

To fulfill the objective of this report collection of relevant, accurate, standardized and needful information was required. To make this report reliable we have collected data from both primary sources and secondary sources. Special consideration was given so that chances of biasness could not arise. Special consideration was given so that chances of biasness could not arise. The sources used were:

Primary sources:

Primary data is defined as data which originates as a result of that particular investigation. We have collected primary data through questionnaire survey with various people. The primary data related to Electronic Media of Bangladesh was collected from the audiences by the method of survey that we conducted. Structured close ended questions were constructed to extract the primary data.

Secondary sources:

Secondary data represents the data which are made by others but it is useful for another purpose or research. As a part of collecting data from secondary sources, we have referred different books of Marketing Research. We collected our data from the magazine, news paper, libraries and also from the websites.

No study is beyond any limitations. While doing this research study we had to face some difficulties. The limitations of the research activities are as follows—

We did not have so much experience for conducting research and preparing the report very frequently, though we are in learning position.

In questionnaire survey some participants were unenthusiastic to provide enough information.

The respondents hid their personal information.

There was lack of precise information; both primary and secondary.

There was not enough time to analyze the selected issues.

Our resources (such as, human resource, financial resource, etc) were limited. So it was hard for us to prepare a professional report with our limited resources.

First time ever we are using the SPSS software.

Research Design:

The design of the research that we carried to explore the opinion of the audiences of electronic media was conclusive to large extent. The research was formal and structured. It is based on large, representative sample, and the data obtained from the research will be used for Managerial decision making.

Sampling Design:

The size of the sample for the research was 500 respondents. The procedure adopted for sampling was Non Probabilistic Quota Sampling. The quota was formed based on occupations. The numbers of respondents was restricted by ten categories of occupations.

Instruments:

The basic instruments used for the research were:

SPSS software

Structured Close Ended Questionnaire

Computer

MS Words

Printer

Data Analysis Method:

For analyzing the data, we used SPSS software. The questionnaire consisted of ten close ended questions. The questions were basically formed with the purpose of providing descriptive information regarding the electronic media of Bangladesh. The data analyzed provided the information regarding the channel preference, program preference, factor preference, ranking of the channels, favorable program, unfavorable program and demographic profile of the respondents.

The factors for influencing the audiences were analyzed by factor reductions. This was done to separate the factors in two groups based on similarities in meaning.

The demographic profile of the respondents was used to formulate three clusters. The clusters were differentiated by the characteristics like gender, age, occupation, family members and family income.

We have surveyed total 500 respondents (audiences). 342 of them were male and rests of 158 were female. That is out of the total respondents who were surveyed, 68 per cent of them turned out to be male whereas the rest 32 per cent were female. This vast difference is due to the number of respondents that were kept under each occupation.

The positive value that the two variables have a correlation. The maximum value that can be extracted is 1 which states the strongest relation among the variables.

KMO and Bartlett’s Test:

Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin Measure of Sampling Adequacy.		.715
Bartlett’s Test of Sphericity	Approx. Chi-Square	971.211
	df	55
	Sig.	.000

The suitability of data for factor analysis depends on two measures: KMO index and Bartlett’s test. To be a suitable data, a data need to have a KMO index with minimum value of 0.6 and the Bartlett’s test for sphericity should be less than less than .05.

The data out here have KMO index value of .715 which is less than 0.6 but close enough to 0.6, and the Bartlett’s test for sphericity value is .000 which is less than.05.

Therefore, we can go for the Factor extraction.

Extraction Method: Principal Component Analysis.

By the Kaiser’s criterion, the factors with eigenvalue equal to or greater to 1 are retained for further investigation. The eigenvalue of a factor represents the amount of the variance explained by that factor.

Out here, there are four components with eigenvalue greater to 1.

Therefore, these values will be taken for further analysis.

As we know that Kaiser’s criterion results in the retention of too many factors, therefore we need to go through Scree test. By the Scree test the factors above the elbow, or break in the plot, as the factors are considered to be the factors that contribute the most to the explanation of the variance in the set.

In this case, there are two factors that are above the elbow.

CONCLUSION:

Television is playing a good role in our country. Though several television channels are operating in our country all of them are not providing same services. They have to count every nick of time in news presenting and other programs presenting. Analyzing the urban based electronic media preference the following result can be summarized in conclusion—

So much commercial Ad is not expected by the audience.

TV channels involved in public welfare are expected by the audiences.

The 10 television companies those are broadcasting in our country are very alluring and competitive. But to be a realistic and preferable channel in context of the audiences they have to provide according to the demand of the audiences. These TV channels have to provide such programs that the audiences want to watch. TV channels should not concern only about programs but also preferable time slot for the target audiences should be concerned by those TV channels.
