Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Secondary data refers to information that already exists somewhere but was collected for another purpose. It can be obtained from a variety of sources such as government publications, business journals, and market research reports. While the data may be outdated, it is not necessarily so, and it is not limited to information that only competitors have access to. Secondary data can be used in conjunction with primary data collected through surveys and observations.
