Secondary data research is the research which is based on gathering the information from the findings of other researchers. There are two sources of secondary research including external or internal research. The internal secondary research is conducted within the organization while the external secondary research is obtained from the outside sources. Some secondary data research sources include Sales and marketing reports, Accounting and financial records, Miscellaneous reports, Federal government and statistics agencies etc. Therefore, unlike primary data, the secondary data is not taken with many efforts and it is based on the findings of others.
