1.14 Jio Products and services

The 4th generation of wireless standards is 4G and the planned successor to the 3G standard
for cellular systems. The ITU (International Telecommunications Union) has fixed that the
peak speed necessities for the 4G standard are to be 100Mbps for a mobile affiliation (such as
in a car) and 1Gbps for connections (such as sitting at a computer). 4G services that meet
these needs don't seem to be in public accessible yet (as of June 2011) however
telecommunications suppliers are trying to upgrade their infrastructure to cater for 4G
services in the distant future. The 4G service is about to supply a quick and secure all-IP,
roaming mobile broadband resolution to devices like laptops with wireless 4G modems, 4G
smart phone mobile phones and different 4G mobile devices that need net access with speed
intensive facilities being made accessible, as well as on-demand HD tv, IP telephone, on-
demand gaming and, of course, high speed net access.

Currently marketed technologies like LTE (Long Term Evolution) and WiMAX are around
for many years and are being marketed as 4G while not meeting the necessities set by the
ITU. it had been recently proclaimed that these services might still be marketed as 4G as
they're precursors to the IMT Advanced, 4G standard while additionally operating on a
similar basis of technology; but, these should really be thought-about as "Pre-4G" or "3.9G"
as they technically don't provide the specified information rates of (stationary) 1Gbps. The
ITU has recognized 2 standards that are planned to fulfill the 4G IMT advanced needs
suggests by the 2 teams, 3GPP and IEEE. These are the LTE Advanced and Wireless MAN-

10
Advanced (WiMAX Advanced) standards and will almost certainly abandon the recent
unfold system technology found in 3G systems for OFDMA and other equalisation schemes,
use MIMO technology, channel-dependent programming and dynamic channel allocation all
technologies that are being found on new, modern wireless networking equipment.

1.14.1 Jio Phone

On 21 July 2017, Jio introduced its 1st reasonable 4G feature phone, powered by KaiOS,
named as Jio Phone. the value proclaimed for it is ₹0 with a margin of ₹1500 which may be
withdrawn back by the user by returning the Jio Phone at Jio stores only after 3 years. This
phone was released for beta users on 15 August 2017 and pre-booking for normal users
started on 24 August 2017.

1.14.2 Jio Phone 2

A second model that comes up with the QWERTY keyboard, with Facebook, WhatsApp and
YouTube applications was released in July 2018 for ₹2,999.

1.14.3 4G broadband
The company launched its 4G broadband services throughout India in Sept 2016. it had been
slated to release in Dec 2015 when some reports aforementioned that the corporate was
waiting to receive final permits from the govt.. Jio offers fourth-generation (4G) data and
voice services, alongside peripheral services like instant electronic communication and
streaming movies and music.

The company incorporates a network of over 250,000 kilometer of fiber optic cables within
the country, over that it'll be partnering with local cable operators to induce broader
connectivity for its broadband services. With its multi-service operator (MSO) license, Jio
will function a television station distributor and can supply television-on-demand on its
network.

1.14.4 LYF smart-phones

On 25 Jan 2016, the corporate launched its LYF smart phone series beginning with Water
one, through its chain of electronic stores, Reliance Retail. 3 additional telephone models are
released so far, particularly Water two, Earth 1, and Flame one.

11
1.14.5 Jio-Net Wi-Fi
Prior to its pan-India launch of 4G data and telephone services, Jio has started providing free
Wi-Fi hotspot services in cities throughout India as well as Surat, Ahmedabad in Gujarat, and
Visakhapatnam, Indore, Jabalpur, Dewas and Ujjain in Madhya Pradesh, chosen locations of
Mumbai in Maharashtra among others.
In March 2016, Jio started providing free Wi-Fi web to spectators at six cricket stadiums
hosting the 2016 icc World Twenty20 matches. Jionet was made available in Wankhede
sports stadium (Mumbai), Punjab Cricket Association IS Bindra sports stadium, Himachal
Pradesh Cricket Association sports stadium (Dharamshala), Chinnaswamy bowl (Bengaluru),
Feroz Shah of Iran Kotla (Delhi), and Eden Gardens (Kolkata) in India.

1.14.6 Jio Giga Fiber

Jio launched Jio Giga Fibre on 15 August 2018 that offers high speed broadband, land line
and DTH services at affordable prices.

1.15 Applications:
The use of the 4G service are very kind of like that of the 3G service while providing a lot of
higher data transfer rates and thus permitting either additional speed intensive applications or
more users to experience smart speeds while only connected through one carrier.
Applications may include:
 4G extremist high speed web access – E-mail or general internet browsing is offered.
 4G data intensive interactive user services – Services like on-line satellite mapping can
load instantly.
 4G Multiple user Video conferencing – subscribers can as well as talk over with more
than one person.
 4G location-based services – a supplier sends wide spread, real time weather or traffic
conditions to the pc or phone, or permits the subscriber to seek out and look at nearby
businesses or friends while communicating with them.
 4G Tele-medicine – a medical supplier monitors or provides recommendation to the
possibly isolated subscriber while additionally streaming to them related videos and
guides.
 4G high-definition television – a supplier redirects a high definition channel on to the
subscriber where it will be watched.

12
  4G High definition video on demand – a supplier sends game information on to the
subscriber where they'll play in real time.

The other main application that 4G might create on the market that 3G generally didn't, or
couldn't, is that the capability to be used as a main web access point inside homes or
businesses while catering for multiple connections at high speeds. If the 1Gbps rate is offered
inside these areas, the speeds would be repeatedly more than people who are presently
publically available and this application might be very helpful for making 4G wireless
networks which will be situated in rural areas with no access to the high speed, cabled,
broadband grid.

1.16 Performance
The IMT-Advanced standard (4G) needs the subsequent specifications to be met:
 It should be primarily based upon all-IP packet switched network.
 Peak data rates should be up to 100Mbps in high quality situations and up to 1Gbps for low
mobility/stationary applications.
 Network resources ought to be used and dynamically shared to support additional users on
same connection.
 Channel bandwidth ought to be scalable between 5, 20 and up to 40MHz.
 Spectral potency ought to be no less than 15bit/s/Hz and 6.75bit/s/Hz for outside downlink
and uplink usage respectively.
 Spectral potency ought to be no less than 3bit/s/Hz and 2.25bit/s/Hz for indoor downlink and
transmission usage respectively.
 Connection transitions across heterogeneous networks ought to be sleek.
 A top quality of service should be offered to permit consecutive generation of transmission
support on mobile devices.

1.17 Sales and Promotion

Sales promotion is one level or kind of selling aimed either at the patron or at the marketing
(in the form of sales-incentives). It is used to introduce new product, filter out inventories,
attract traffic, and to elevate sales briefly. It is more closely related to the selling of products
than of services. The necessity for promotion arises from the intensity of competition. Sellers
should somehow attract customers' attention.

13
You may have additionally determined in your neighboring markets notices of “winter sale”,
“summer sale”, “trade fairs”, “discount up to 50%” and plenty of different schemes to draw
in customers to shop for bound merchandise.

Sales promotion offers a right away inducement to act by providing additional value over and
higher than what's designed into the merchandise at its traditional value. These temporary
inducements are offered typically at a time and place where the buying decision is formed.
Consumer commercials are steered toward the ultimate product users—typically individual
shoppers within the native market—but the same techniques are often used to promote
products sold-out by one business to a different, like laptop systems, cleaning supplies, and
machinery.

Sales promotion includes incentive-offering and interest-creating activities that are usually
short-run selling events apart from advertising, personal marketing, promotion and
marketing. The purpose of advertisement is to stimulate, encourage and influence the
acquisition and different desired activity responses of the firm’s customers.”

1.17.1 Purpose of sales promotion:

 Attract new tries or complete switchers
 Reward loyal customers
 Increase repurchases rates

Sales promotion refers to several sorts of incentives and techniques directed towards
customers and traders with the intention to supply immediate or short sales effects. Publicity
is a promotional marketing technique designed to form sales for a product over an outlined
period of your time. Publicity activities are measurable in terms of product moved, coupons
saved, number of contest entries, or alternative quantifiable count.

Reliance Industries Chairman Mukesh Ambani commit an investment of Rs. 250,000 crores
on "Digital India" and said he expected the group's initiatives under that can produce over
500,000 direct and indirect jobs. "I believe Digital India is an enormous success owing to the
adoption of technology by the youth of India," Ambani said at an incident that saw Prime
Minister Narendra Modi launch the "Digital India" week to empower citizens by the

14
utilization of IT and its tools. "Digital India as we have seen empowers them to satisfy their
aspirations. We at Reliance can invest over Rs. 2,50,000 crores across the Digital India
pillars," he said, adding: "I estimate Reliance's 'Digital India' investments can produce
employment for over 500,000 people." Ambani said the launch of Digital India initiative was
a big occasion in a modern era where conversion was changing the method one lives, learns,
works and plays. It will remodel the lives of 1.2 billion Indians using the ability of digital
technology. He said his group, underneath the Reliance Jio platform, can roll out a web
protocol based wireless broadband infrastructure across all twenty nine states in India.
Reliance Jio will set up a nationwide distribution network for 150,000 little vendors to sell
and repair devices. "Jio is working with leading device makers, encouraging them to 'Make in
India' smart phones and web devices at a reasonable value. We’ll offer them an assured off
take through our retail system." Mukesh Ambani’s Reliance Jio Infocomm gave us all a touch
tease of what's to come with its 4G services at Techfest, an annual science & technology
competition held at the IIT-Bombay. The service is 10-12x faster than 3G eighteen networks.
Here’s what Reliance, the sole company that holds a pan India 4G license, showed off.

 Jio Television: Set-top box running on android. The service can have live tv (Jio Play)
and Video on Demand (Jio World).
 Jio drive: a hundred GB free storage to subscribers.
 Mi-Fi: The Company’s customer premise instrumentation can connect to a Reliance
operated mobile tower and supply local Wi-Fi network.

Next massive what has learned that Reliance Jio 4G plans additionally include the launch of a
set of services together with
1. Music Streaming
2. Video calling & VoIP Services
3. Instant messenger
4. Payment Services: Reliance

Jio already has obtained a license to control postpaid wallets for mobile transactions (this
needn't necessarily be connected to the 4G launch). Reliance is additionally launching its own
mobile apps to modify several of those services. According to Reliance, the 4G infrastructure
will support its portfolio of multimedia system digital services in education, health-care,

15
recreation, and payment and cloud services. With these launches, Reliance won't only be
creating its much anticipated entry to 4G mobile services; it is also probably to corner an
oversized share of the media market in India. The thought is to capture the lounge of the
consumer that is otherwise the undisputed territory of cable TV. 4G services on the Reliance
network might additionally provide a leg-up to the digital economy in India. Whereas the
launch dates for the company’s huge invade 4G hasn’t been proclaimed, it may be as early as
the first half of this year.

OBJECTIVE OF THE REPORT

The purpose of any study/research is to develop understanding about an object and applying
that understanding in to day to day affairs. Though each research study has its own specific
purpose, as a student of Business Administration it was my introduction to the industry and
my prime objective was to understand and apply concepts and theories of business to real
world decision-making. It helps in increasing proficiency in specific business disciplines;
such as human resources management, operations management, marketing, accounting,
statistics, economics, finance, and business law. We may think of research objectives as
falling into a number of broad groupings. The objectives of this research are divided as:-

 To identify and analyzing potential market of Jio optic fiber Wi-Fi services.
 To identify the Educational Institutes in Delhi- NCR and conduct the promotional
activity of Jio’s Wi-Fi – “Digital Campus Programme”.
 To analyze and compare the other competitors in the market with respect to optic- fiber.
 To take the Follow-ups from the different Educational Institutes after the meetings
conducted.

 CHAPTER 3

LITERATURE REVIEW

3.1 Introduction
Globalization, privatization and easing accelerated all spherical reforms in several sectors,
especially in developing economies, within the world. Developing countries- like India have
completed the importance of communication within the later a part of twentieth century. Per
DoT (2013), nowadays Indian Telecommunication Sector is one among the quickest growing
medium sectors and it's become the second largest network within the world, next to China.
The govt. of India very has inspired the medium sector to penetrate within the new markets
across the country by adopting acceptable policies. Thus this sector is found to be in an
exceedingly growing path and with its potential can still do therefore within the future
additionally. Keeping these visible, the current study analyzes the history & evolution of
Indian medium Sector, its growth & developments in gift situation in conjunction with the
longer term opportunities of the arena in India.

The growth in demand for medium services in India isn't restricted to basic telephone
services. India has witnessed ascent in cellular, radio paging; price additional services, net
and international communication by satel item (GMPCS) services. The agents of amendment,
as determined from international perspective, are broadly speaking categorized into economic
structure, competition policy and technology. Economic reforms and liberalization have
driven medium sector through many transmission channels of that these 3 classes are of major
significance.

The effective analysis can't be accomplished while not critically learning what already exists
within the kind of general literature and specific studies. Therefore, it's thought of as a very
important pre-requisite for actual designing and execution of scientific research. This helps to
formulate hypotheses and framework for any investigation. During this analysis, the survey of
literature has been classified into 2 components - studies associated with medium sector and
studies associated with selling ways.

18
3.1.1 Abhishek Kumar Singh and Malhar Pangrikar (2013) did a study titled "A Study
Report, to Find out Market Potential for 4g Businesses in Pune". The Report is all about
"Study of market potential for 4G business in Pune" and also to know about the customer
perceptions and attitudes towards their current service provider. Satisfaction level of the
customers was also judged. The customer expectations were analyzed thoroughly. Major
factors considered in research are: what are the needs of the companies based on the data
services usage, the major player in internet services, and support to customers. The research
was conducted on companies mainly from Industries like IT, Education, Manufacturing, and
others which are located in Pune city. It is clear from the survey done that Reliance & Tata
are Leading Internet Service Provider; they are providing products like Data Card, Broadband
etc. to the corporate end users. Most of the companies are getting internet speed form
1MBPS-4MBPS. Most of the companies are having a good perception about 4 G and are
willing to switch to it from their current service provider. The speed of 4G is around than 30
to 35 MBPS, is going to boom the Market because the majority of the companies are facing
Speed problem with their current ISP.

Purpose of the Study:

1. To study the market potential for 4G Business.
2. To find out the customer satisfaction level with their existing ISP.
3. To find out the Market share of Companies Using Different Operators Internet
services.
Conclusion:
4G revolution is started in Pune by Airtel. Drastic changes and improvements from 3G
Technology need to be a priority. But if done intelligently and thoroughly, 4G holds enormous
potential for Pune and can really create a boom in the IT industry, key to the Indian economy.
Hence the evolution from 3G to 4G will be stimulated by services offering enhanced quality,
requires increased bandwidth, needs the elevated sophistication of large-scale information
provisions and must have improved customization capabilities to support user demands.

3.1.2 Irfan Ullah (2012) Did a study titled "A study and analysis of Public Wi-Fi". The
objective of this survey is to compare different technologies with Wi-Fi in terms of cost
factor, bandwidth and performance factor, and technology implementation factor The goal of
this thesis is to analyze and compare different wireless network technologies with a focus on
availability, number of nodes, total cost, end-user cost, vendor cost, range, reliability and
security. The goal is to compare Local Area Network Wi-Fi technology (IEEE 802.11 a/g)
with mobile wireless technology like 3G, 4G, and LTE.

19
3.1.3 Sumant Ku Mohapatra1, BiswaRanjan Swain1 and Pravanjan Das (2015) did a
study titled “Comprehensive Survey of possible security issues on 4G networks" gives a brief
study of recent advances in wireless network security issues. First, it studies the 4G mail
threats and risk and their design decisions. Second, the security of 4G architecture with next-
generation network security and 8- security dimensions of the 4G network. Third, security
issues and possible threats to 4G are discussed. Finally, proposed four-layer security model
which manages to ensure more secure packets transmission by taking all the necessary
security measures.

3.1.4 Vishalakshi Prabhu, G.S. Nagaraja (2014) did a study titled"A Survey on Quality of
Service Provision in 4G Wireless Networks" gives a brief study of Quality of Service (QoS),
Internet Protocol (IP), heterogeneous network, Cross-Layer Design (CLD). Worldwide many
mobile operators, industry experts, and researchers have diverse visions of potential 4th
generation (4G) features and its implementations. 4G networks will be incorporating
advanced Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) protocol and the signaling will be done through
Internet Protocol (IP). There are several key challenges in implementing the 4G
heterogeneous network. Few of these problems are all IP network, integration across different
topologies, security and Quality of Service (QoS). This paper gives a survey and classification
of the important QoS approaches proposed for 4G networks. Classification is based on the
work done in each protocol layer and Cross-Layer Design (CLD) approach. Finally, this
paper presents outcomes of the survey which includes significant observations, limitations,
and an idea of further research in improving QoS in 4G networks.

3.1.5 Protiviti, 2009 "The lackluster performance of the Broadband (BB) market, primarily
attributable to the technical and economic non-feasibility of the fixed line infrastructure in
India, indicates that the solution for mass proliferation of broadband in India has to be
wireless. Recognizing the strong correlation between broadband proliferation and increased
economic activity and experience of the burgeoning wireless voice market, the Government
had announced its Broadband Policy (2004) and most recently the Broadband Wireless Access
(BWA) auctions in 2008 to accelerate BB adoption in India. The industry and the country
now wait with bated breath to see which wireless technology will be adapted to provide a
cost-effective and scalable BB solution to the Indian market, which is ripe with pent-up
demand for broadband services. Adoption of any new wireless technology would hinge on
affordability, spectral efficiency (on account of the scarcity of available spectrum and its high
cost), scalability, robustness, the range of devices available, evolution roadmap over the next
3~4 years and meeting the BWA policy requirements.

20
While one school of thought backs WiMAX – "WiMAX emerges as the quintessential
answer to these problems, given its superior performance and lower costs as compared to the
existing 3G technologies and futuristic Long Term Evolution (LTE) equivalents. WiMAX
was developed for high-speed wireless BB data access and is a 4G technology available today
at 3G prices. It presents an ideal choice to Telcos for providing high- speed wireless BB at
affordable rates and for the government to meet its growth and social objectives."

3.1.6 Kamal, K., 2008 did a research on the Concerns about Cyber Security in general and
security of telecom infrastructure, in particular, are escalating. Current efforts in these areas
need to be stepped up by several orders of magnitude with appropriate arrangements for
coordination across multiple agencies involved if they are to be effective in meeting new and
emerging challenges the issues surrounding the management of wireless broadband access
(including WiMAX and LTE) networks would have to be examined. The security, resilience,
and safety of these networks are of paramount importance.

3.2 Review of Literature

Jio is the telecommunication company owned by Reliance Ltd. It emerges one among the
fastest growing telecom operator in Asian nation as information printed in a review of
literature Jai Bhatia Economic & Political Weekly October 8, 2016 vol II no 41. Jio came up
with a vision to get large revenue by providing quality service at a less expensive rate using
the most recent technology. Initially, its growth is high. Within the Indian market, it is the
primary mover advantage for Jio with a biggest 4G network coverage infrastructure all across
twenty two medium circles in India. None of its competitors has such biggest infrastructure
for 4G.

As we tend to see within the year 2012-13, India is a hundred and fiftieth within the world in
mobile broadband penetration additionally as quality. Reliance, Predatory rating or predatory
behavior (October 8, 2016) says that Jio may be understood by Predatory rating Strategy to
Some extent within the starting, Jio is also followed an equivalent strategy that created their
competitors rely on their rating method all of them have tried to cut back and match with the
rating level of Jio value.

21
According to the info printed by www.paulasset.com, reliance Jio is nice for Indian market as
a result of it is giving very best quality on cheaper price. The information additionally
explains that presently Jio’s data traffic is higher (TRAI Data) compared to its competitors.
Jio is additionally threatening “As it's expected that it'll kill a lot of than thirty businesses at
intervals next five to ten years”, as per poulasset. Jio can acquire and can hold a major range
of market shares within the following areas.

Mobile (Local/STD + SMS), MOBILE information (3G/4G), CABLE TV/ D2H,

MAGAZINE/NEWSPAPERS, CLOUD STORAGE, movie DOWNLOAD/ looking at,
NEWS READING APPS, MOBILE WALLETS / fast PAY & OTHERS
Jio has already started giving substitution for the on top of at one place, i.e. Jio TV, Jio
Music, Jio Wallet, Jio Drive Etc.

According to info printed by gadget.ndtv.com it's terribly tough to compete with Jio as they
have invested with 150,000 Crores rupee throughout 2010 to 2016 for developing the
infrastructure while not having any profit. It is harsh to create such massive sector in Asian
nation in one go as a result of it needs a large amount and long period of time. Reliance is
usually able to handle any such startup which may threaten Jio. Existing competitors like
Airtel, Vodafone is already full of a large debt therefore it’s not easy for them to invest huge
amount in a very short amount of time.

Nearly twenty five million cell phones are using Jio Sim even before its industrial launch!
Reliance Jio is creating headlines with its simple on pocket data packs and lifelong free
calling. Never in the history of medium has anybody witnessed a player seize the market in a
very week’s time by distributing Sim cards with the unlimited free net.

According to an article printed within the myvoice.opindia.com Analysts doubt the strategy
of Reliance by comparing that with its schemes. Jio can attract low-quality customers who
can jump to alternative networks once the freebies end. However Reliance doesn’t believe so.
It is providing free 4G data which means it’ll occupy the primary Sim slot in the Smartphone
4G phones. Also, customers can switch to Jio from their broadband or the Wi-Fi services and
Probably can follow it even once the promotion amount ends. In addition to it, it's giving free
vocation; therefore its aware folks are mistreatment the amount for vocation purposes for
succeeding 3 months. 3 months could be an ample time span for folks to expertise the super-
fast speed and also the quality services and for good transfer to the network.

22
Currently assume that Jio reaches seventy fifth of its planned subscriber base of a hundred
million therefore by the tip of the year, Reliance lands up with seventy-five million subscriber
base. India’s total 4G user range is believed to the touch the mark of 143 million by this year
end. Therefore at intervals three months of its official launch, Jio would have nonheritable
quite five hundredth of the market share. Although several subscribers leave the service of
Jio, still Reliance would be left with significant market share.

The analytical information shows that it's captured most no. of the market shares at intervals
the shortest period of your time. It may be finished those are having the Jio service at the
moment, among them seventy to eighty you look after the users are proud of its service. This
range is higher within the rural areas and lesser within the urban areas. By the tip of 2017, it's
expected that there'll be thirty to forty large integer subscribers or quite that. The free app that
is given nowadays are not be free, later on, the consumer are payment around six to ten
thousand in a very year

According to Times of India (Feb 22, 2016,) as we tend to saw within the year 2012-13, India
is a hundred and fiftieth within the world in mobile broadband penetration additionally as
quality. And Jio has extremely been conceived to alter this position," the Indian billionaire
said.

23
3.3 CONCLUSION

Using numerous information from the market and subscription base figures as a technique to
know market dominance, R. Jio cannot be specified as a dominant operator however it will be
specified because the at the start fastest growing telecom operator. The info shows that it has
captured most no. of the market shares among the shortest amount of time. The people who
are having the Jio service at this time, among them seventy to eighty you look after the users
are happy with its service. This range is higher within the rural areas and lesser within the
urban areas.

Based on the BCG Matrix, we can say that Jio may be a question mark for the reliance Ltd.
the info shows that they are pumping the massive quantity of money and at present, it's not
giving a bit of profit to them at present. It is expected within the future that The Jio can end
up generating an enormous quantity of revenue from the customers depends on upon the
policy and steps will be taken by the Jio officers.

This is the sole company which is holding 4G infrastructure altogether 22 medium circle, By
the end of 2017, it is expected that there'll be thirty to forty crore subscribers or over that. The
free app that is given today will be no longer be free, later the consumer will be spending
around half-dozen to 10 thousand in a very year. It’ll generate vast revenue.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

4.1 Introduction
Assumptions are the foundation of all research about what constitutes valid research and which
research methods are appropriate for the development of knowledge in a given research. For
effective conduction and evaluation of any research, it is therefore important to know what these
assumptions are.

Before beginning of any research, the researcher has to prepare a research design that help as
guidelines of the research and which assists throughout the process. A clear conceptual
understanding is must to understand the importance, role and purpose of research design. The
researcher needs to understand what research design is and what it is not. The Researcher also
needs to know where design fits into the whole research process from framing a question to
finally analyzing and reporting data. This is the purpose of this chapter. This chapter discusses
the research design underpinning the present research study on Jio customer satisfaction and its
services which were reviewed and presented; and new aspects of the subject market research of
Jio services were tried to add on to the basic premise. In addition, the chapter also discusses the
design and research methodologies used in the study including strategies, instruments, data
collection and analysis methods, while explaining the processes involved in the study. The
findings further strengthened the position that objective is to develop a long haul relationship
between the business and the worker while encouraging a sentiment having a place and a
confirmation of settling on the right decision the purpose of this study is to analyze the present
market of Jio in wifi and satisfaction of its customers.

4.2 Research Design

A research design is the framework and the plan of a research study that has been created to seek
answers to research questions. The design of a research defines the study type (descriptive,
correlation, semi-experimental, experimental, review, meta-analytic) and sub-type and data
collection methods and a statistical analysis plan. It holds the research project together. It

25
provides the structure of the research, to show how all the major sections/chapters of the
research- research sample, measures, treatment and research methodology- work together to
address the research questions. A research can be divided into three categories: exploratory,
descriptive and causal. Each category addresses different end purpose and can only be used in
certain ways.

4.2.1 Descriptive Research

Descriptive research, unlike exploratory research, is preplanned and structured in design so that
information collected can be statistically inferred on a population. The central idea behind using
this type of research is to better define an opinion, attitude, or behavior held by a group of
respondents on a given subject.

4.2.2 Exploratory Research

Exploratory research focuses on the finding of ideas and insights as to collect statistically
accurate data. It is most commonly used for further defining issues, areas for potential growth,
alternative courses of action, and prioritizing areas that require statistical research. Exploratory
research results into two forms either it’s a new topic or new dimensions of the theory. A new
topic is often unexpected in its findings. For example, In Australia, Cronin and Taylor (1992)
developed a "performance-based" service quality measurement scale called SERVPERF and
Dabholkar, Thorpe & Rentz; (1996) developed RSQS or Retail Service Quality Scale in
American market setup. New angles can come from new ways of looking at things from a
theoretical perspective or by new way of measuring something.

4.2.3 Causal Research

Like descriptive research, causal research is quantitative in nature also as preplanned and
structured in style. For this reason, it is additionally considered casual research. Causal research
differs in its attempt to make a case for the cause and effect relationship between variables. This
can be opposed to the observational style of descriptive research, because it makes an attempt to
decipher whether a relationship is causal through experimentation. In the end, causal research
has 2 objectives:
 To know which variables are the cause and which variables are the effect, and

26
 To conclude the nature of the connection between the causal variables and the effect to be
predicted.

4.3 Exploratory research

It is the initial research into a hypothetic or theoretical plan. The researcher has a concept or has
observed something and seeks to know more about it. An exploratory research is an attempt to
get the groundwork which will result in future studies, or to see if what is being discovered could
be explained by an existing theory. This research is also an attempt to connect ideas to
understand cause and effect. It is an attempt to examine the cause and effect and the factors
affecting reliability, personal interaction, problem solving and policy as cause of the
phenomenon to set the initial groundwork for future research. The efforts have been put to
explain what is going on in the market amongst the customers of Reliance Jio.

The Chapter closed with the presentation of research framework, its development and the
methodology used for the study. The benefit of this research project is that it will provide the
reader with data and statistics of a general viewpoint of Jio’s market demand and its image
amongst its customers. It will also provide them with certain suggestions.

4.4.1 Sample Size

Sample size refers to the numbers of respondent’s that researcher have selected for the survey. I
have selected 300 sample units from the market and individual customers.

4.4.2 Method of Sampling

Convenient sampling is used as sampling method as all the customers in the sites are surveyed.

4.4.3 Sampling Area

While conducting sample, I went many places of Delhi NCR

4.4.4 Data collection Tool

I have used set of Questions, as the research instrument to conduct the market survey. They were
close ended questions designed in such a way that it should gather maximum information

27
possible.
Primary Source: Primary data was collected directly from the customers through a set of
questions.
Secondary Source: The secondary source was the company website, journals, books and from
my colleagues.

4.5 Conclusion
Research design defines the type of study, hypotheses, type of research question, variables,
and data collection methods. The purpose of above chapter is to provide an outline of research
design in both descriptive and explanatory research. In explanatory research the purpose is to
develop and evaluate the process of research. Research style isn't associated with any specific
