Research
Desk Research involves the search, verification
and analysis of existing (i.e., secondary) data.
For the purposes of Desk Research analysis, researchers utilize available source materials, such as:
- public statistical data (BDL, GUS, EUROSTAT),
- client-owed data (previous research, analyses, internal data),
- articles in print and electronic media,
- publications and books,
- industry studies and reports,
- commercial offers from enterprises,
- data from competitors,
- balance sheets and financial statements,
- legal documents,
- publicly available materials posted on the Internet.
Information obtained through Desk Research analysis may serve as an alternative solution to conducting your own primary research.
It can also act as a preliminary stage of a project involving both primary and secondary research. The Desk Research technique allows you to reduce the cost and time of research while maintaining reliability and high-quality results.
Desk Research is carried out as follows:
- identification of available datasets, indicators, and objects, taking into account the time period for which the analysis will be prepared,
- construction of a set of variables,
- data preparation and exploration,
- analysis of data relevant to the study,
- trend analysis,
- comparative analysis of current results in relation to previous data – statistics and/or respondents’ declarations,
- conclusions/recommendations.
A study conducted using the Desk Research technique may have various goals
and assumptions. It can be successfully used in any type of research.
The results of research conducted using the Desk Research technique allow for the creation of both simple statistics and complex analyses.
