Requirement of collating, analyzing and drawing accurate useful inferences from a large sample can be very time consuming process. SPSS is a widely used program for statistical analysis in social science. This software package takes the raw data, the researcher inputs, calculates significance tests that the researcher specifies. It is also used by market researchers, health researchers, survey companies, government, education researchers, marketing organizations, data miners, and others. To practice this program, this paper suggests the methodology of using the software with the help of a case study on Relevance of Best human resource practices in the Corporate Sector to the Indian Armed Forces. An e questionnaire was administered to 650 officers of Indian Armed Forces to show preference for the relevant HR practices. The responses have been tabulated and analysed using SPSS.
