INTRODUCTION :
Comparative research, simply put, is the act of comparing two or more things with a view
to discovering something about one or all of the things being compared. This technique is often
utilizes multiple disciplines in one study.When it comes to method, the majority agreement is that
there is no methodology peculiar to comparative research. The multidisciplinary approach is good
for the flexibility it offers, yet comparative programs do have a case to answer against the call that
their research lacks a seamless whole.There are certainly methods far more common than others
in comparative studies, however. Quantitative analysis is much more frequently perused than
qualitative, and this is seen in the majority of comparative studies can be use quantitative data.
The general method of comparing things is the same for comparative research as it is in our
everyday practice of comparisons. Like cases are treated alike, and cases are treated differently;
the extent of difference determines how differently cases are treated. The point here is that if one
is able to sufficiently distinguish two cases, comparative research conclusions will not be very
helpful.
Secondary analysis of quantitative data is relatively widespread in comparative research,
undoubtedly in part because of the cost of obtaining primary data for such large things as a
countrys policy environment. A typical method of comparing welfare state is to take balance their
levels of spending on social welfare.
Comparative research is a methodology in the social sciences that aims to make comparisons
across different countries and cultures. A major problem in comparative research is that the data
sets in different countries may not use the same categories, or define categories differently.

The rapid growth in the telecom sector can be attributed to the various pro-active and positive
policy measures taken by the government as well as the dynamic and entrepreneurial spirit of the
various telecom service providers both in private and public sector. The telecom sector has
shown impressive growth during the past decade.
Two striking features of this growth viz. increasing preference for mobile phones and higher
contribution of private sector in the incremental growth have predominated the telecom sector.
