OVERVIEW
The Purpose Of This Lecture Is To: Present Information/Data
Collected For The Study in the Previous Chapter & Analyze The
Results & To Discuss the Findings
E.g., Demographic Profile Of Research Respondents
It Begins With The Description Of The X’ristics Of The Sample
Or Demographic Profile Of Research Participants

Research Respondents Were Contacted By Email/Phone Calls,
Etc., Explaining The Essence Of The Study,
EXCELLENCE IN TECHNOLOGY 5
EDUCATION
A Questionnaire (Copy Attached) Is Then Sent To Those Who
Replied “YES”
They Are Then Asked To Complete & Return Their Scripts
(Sample Attached).
E.g., 40 Out Of 50 Participants Respond, Making A Total
Responses Of Approx. 89%.
The Responses For The Questionnaire Were Coded Then Entered
Into;
Microsoft Excel
Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS, Current Version) or Any
Other Software For The Analysis.

EXCELLENCE IN TECHNOLOGY 12
EDUCATION
Example 1 Cont’d
In The Questionnaire,
We Might Have Asked Respondents To Decide Which Of The
Variables Of QoS Affects Network Performance,
• Namely; Bandwidth, Speed, Capacity, Latency, Outages,
Call Drops, Hacking, Intrusion, Virous, DoS & Network
Security
EXCELLENCE IN TECHNOLOGY 13
EDUCATION
Summarize The Responses For Various Variables Of QoS &
Determine Their Mean, Standard Deviations, Etc.
Qn. 1:
Please kindly indicate which of the following QoS Variables are
responsible for poor Telecom Network Performance?

EDUCATION
Linking Findings To Literature
Thus, The Findings Support The Work Of Sabah (2020) Which
Concluded That:
There Is No Network that has perfect QoS
Network Capacity Must Be Operated, Maintained & Managed
Dynamically & Efficiently
Example:
The 2nd Research Qn Also Examined/Or/Or …
• The Extent To Which Network Bandwidth (BPS)
Influences Network Performance In Terms Of QoS.
EXCELLENCE IN TECHNOLOGY 22
EDUCATION
SUMMARY
Based On The Above Results & Findings, It Can Be Concluded That:
Network Performance is Affected by QoS In Terms Of:
• Network Capacity & Network Outages.
“Now Your Voice” Thus, It Is For Network Engineers To:
• Operate, Maintain & Manage Networks Dynamically &
Efficiently
• Undertake Preventive Maintenance As Against Curative Maintenance
• Be Proactive - In Order To Optimize Network Performance.
• These Results, Findings & Measures Will Go A Long Way To Assist
Network Operators To Achieve Their Strategic Goals In Any
Competitive Business Environment in the Telecom Industry.
