    Systematic inquiry aimed at discovering new knowledge involves five components: type of survey, sample, survey design, incentives, and analysis. Secondary research is important because it can answer research questions without having to conduct primary research, and can be used to validate primary research findings while saving time, money, and energy. Secondary data is used to form hypotheses and supplement information that would otherwise take a lifetime to gather independently, such as using government or organizational records to study trends. While secondary research provides existing data to work with, there are limitations such as less control over data collection methods and potential biases or obsolete information.
