Am using agro dealers and my variables are based on Supply chain management practices, organisation performance and level of information sharing with trading partners.
@Chimodzi. There are many computer-based statistical tools you can use to evaluate your research question/hypotheses. SPSS seems very popular, however more robust tools depending on what intend to achieve range from SmartPls, LISREL, AMOS, and R.
I would say R is the way to go. It is open source, which means free, and has a very rich library of statistical and other mathematical functions. If you need something like SPSS, there is a free alternative to that: JASP. You can do everything in JASP that SPSS does.
@Tembo R or R studio are considered one of the most powerful statistical softwares across the world of research and can be used for any kind of statistical analysis for both quantitative and qualitative research. It is open source. However, R is command based user interface hence you'll need to spare some time to learn it.
