Review the case study data related to your research problem and describe potential analysis tools and methods you will use to answer your research question. Be specific: Reference specific descriptive and inferential statistics from your textbook that you plan to use in your analysis. To support your plan, reference a business research study that implemented this method, and explain why you believe it was appropriate. In response to your peers, compare your plan to the others presented: How do your peers' plans differ from your own, and what can you use from others' plans that can improve or change your analysis approach? Here are the peers responses 1. Maruti Suzuki of India is facing increased competition, additional consumer demands and government requirements.  How does Maruti Suzuki of India remain competitive with additional consumer demands, government requirements and increased competition? Maruti Suzuki has dominated the Indian vehicle Market since 1983 with “A Segmant” Vehicles.  There has been relatively no competition.  At this time there is increased competition, multishare companies entering the market, additional consumer demands and added government requirements.  The increased competition was causing A Share Market to decline from 61% to 49%. There are pressures to lower vehicle prices due to the extreme competition however; there are safety and emission requirements causing an increase in the cost of the vehicles.  In addition; Maruti Suzuki used to be able to add additional costs for luxury items.  At this time consumers consider the luxury items standard items.  What are the Primary Reasons consumers selected the vehicle they purchased?  Bar charts and pie charts can be utilized to display and help understand data visually from the report findings of the online survey and questionnaire that was captured from individuals that have purchased cars that will be used to target the audience and market accordingly.  Understanding the market to target will save advertising dollars and help increase sales and profitability.  Data analysis tools such as regression, hypothesis testing, analysis of variance  and multivariate analysis may be used to analyze data in case studies. “Measurement of variables is an integral part of research and an important aspect of research design.” (Sekaran & Bougie, 2017)  By measuring the variables it will provide the information necessary to answer our research question(s).  Both quantitative and qualitative methods will be used.  Inferential statistics enables the researcher to utilize the data obtained through the research to draw conclusions. .” (Sekaran & Bougie, 2017)  This is relative to this case as it allows the researcher to clearly see and understand the primary reasons the consumer selected the vehicle they purchased. As mentioned a survey questionnaire will be used in this case study to obtain the data needed to determine the primary reason they selected the vehicle they purchased.  According to Sekaran & Bougie, 2017 Excelsior Enterprises used a survey to obtain the information they need regarding employee turnover by conducting a stay survey.  Surveys and questionnaires are an excellent way to obtain information that is needed to make informed business decisions.  The researcher is able to collect the necessary data, code the data in an information base to have clear data to enable the appropriate parties to make informed decisions. Peer 2 response: After being the lead in the A-segment automotive industry in India since 1983, MSIL started having to face some challenges, leading to a decrease in their market share. Their main problem was in their entry level hatch segment because it was not performing as well because of competition and the change in the needs and wants of consumers who want a great value for their money. Starting in 2017, new safety regulations needed to be added to all new vehicles so my research question was: "Should MSIL have their consumers pay for the costs of the newer safety regulations with a higher priced entry-level hatch, or should they keep the low prices and get rid of some features to make up the costs?" Using questionnaires and surveys to see if consumers would spend more money for an entry level hatch with all the features, or the usual low price for basic features would be the best way to figure the answer to my research question. The consumers who would receive those questionnaires would be based on the information given in Exhibit 6: Profile of existing A-segment consumers in India from the case study. For descriptive statistics, the range measurement of dispersion could be used for Exhibit 3: Year-wise market share projections of major car manufacturers in India. The range would show how much MSIL's market share decreased from 2008 to 2013. Comparing that to the means measure of central tendency for Exhibit 2: Sales of Passenger Cars and the answers to the questionnaires and surveys will show MSIL if consumers will buy more entry level hatches that cost more but contain more features, or if they prefer the lower costs with less features.  Inferential statistics, according to Sekaran and Bougie (2016), "helps us to draw conclusions about the population from a sample" (Pg. 301, 2016). A regression analysis would be used because it "is used in a situation where one independent variable is hypothesized to affect a dependent variable" (Pg. 312, 2016). The independent variable would be the entry level hatch cost and the dependent variable would be consumer behavior. The information gathered would explain which entry level hatch the consumers prefer so that MSIL will know which one to produce. POST 1  Here are the peers responses 1.
