Qno. 30 Differentiate between exploratory and descriptive research?

Answer
The basic difference between exploratory and descriptive research is the research design. Exploratory research follows a format that is less structured and more flexible than descriptive research. This approach works well when the marketer doesn’t have an understanding of the topic or the topic is new and it is hard to pinpoint the research direction. The downside, however, is that results may not be as useful in aiding a marketing decision In addition to offering the marketer basic information on a topic, exploratory research may also provide direction for a more formal research effort.

Qno.31 What are different types of the personal selling? Give some details.

There are two types of personal selling:

The customers come to the salespeople.
Mostly involves retail-store selling. Most salespeople fall into this category.
The salespeople go to the customers.
Usually represent producers or wholesaling middlemen and sell to business users. Some outside selling is relying more on telemarketing

Qno.32 What is customer value and customer satisfaction? Also write down the relationship between these two terms.

Answer:
Customer Value:- It is how a customer is valued with regards to a targeted market. The position a customer holds and in vice versa what position does the product hold in customers mind. How does he value the product or service from a particular company For e.g. the customer service offered by UFONE is quite effective and appreciated. This gives an impression of greater customer value in customer’s own mind. When UFONE recently launched discounted IR rates just prior to starting of Ramadan especially for people in KSA, it did target customer’s mind set which will be looking to get in contact with their relatives who will go to KSA to perform UMRAH.

Customer Satisfaction. It is how the customer feels about being treated and whether the product did serve its purpose as expected by the customer. If UFONE-2-UFONE calls are made during load of midnight calls due to promotions offered by UFONE to give night calls to discounted rate, did the service of calls drop down? Was the reception and transmission of voice clear? Was there any unfair billing? When such questions come across a customer’s mind and he feels that everything was on fair basis, the customer feels satisfied for spending his money on that product or service. Relationship between customer value and customer satisfaction: Customer value turns into customer satisfaction when the customer feels that the services he gained were to his position and were well paid off. It is more of a transition from being a focus point of service to being served well. A very common example can be the service offered in air flights. Stewards and air hostesses will offer service to the passengers such as if they need blanket, or a spare pillow. The customer feels valued. When these expectations are met , the customer feels satisfaction.

Question No: 21 ( Marks: 2 )
Briefly describe snowflake schema.
Ans:
Snowflake Schema: snowflaking is a method of normalizing the dimension tables in
star schema. When we completely normalize all the dimension tables, then the
resultent structure resemble a snowflakewith the fact table in the middle.
\
Snowflake Schema: Sometimes a pure star schema might suffer performance problems.
This can occur when a de-normalized dimension table becomes very large and penalizes
the star join operation. Conversely, sometimes a small outer-level dimension table does
not incur a significant join cost because it can be permanently stored in a memory buffer.
Furthermore, because a star structure exists at the center of a snowflake, an efficient star
join can be used to satisfy part of a query. Finally, some queries will not access data from
outer-level dimension tables. These queries effectively execute against a star schema that
contains smaller dimension tables. Therefore, under some circumstances, a snowflake
schema is more efficient than a star schema.

Question No: 22 ( Marks: 2 )
Why both aggregation and summarization are required?
Although summarization and aggregation are
sometimes used interchangeably
Summarization and aggregationare typically used for the following reasons:
They are required when the lowest level of detail stored in the data warehouse is
at a higher level than the detail arriving from the source. This situation occurs
when data warehouse queries do not require the lowest level of detail or
sometimes when sufficient disk space is not available to store all the data for the
time frame required by the data warehouse.
• They can be used to populate data marts from the data warehouse where the data
mart does not require the same level of detail as is stored in the warehouse.
• They can be used to roll up detail values when the detail is removed from the
warehouse because it is
Question No: 23 ( Marks: 3 )
Under what condition smart tools work properly to construct a less detailed aggregate
from more detailed aggregate?
Ans:
Smart tools will allow less detailed aggregates to be constructed from more detailed
aggregates (full aggregate awareness) at run-time so that we do not go all the way down
to the detail for every aggregation. However, for this to work, the metrics must be
additive (e.g., no ratios, averages, etc.). More detailed pre-aggregates are larger, but can
also be used to build less detailed aggregates on-the-go.
Question No: 24 ( Marks: 3 )
What is web scrapping? Give some of its uses.
