The data collected was edited for accuracy, uniformity, consistency and completeness and arranged to enable coding and tabulation before final analysis. Qualitative and quantitative analysis techniques were used. Qualitative data will be analyzed by categorizing and grouping thematic contents through content analysis to address the research questions.

The study will also use multiple linear regressions to analyze the data. The study concluded that commercial banks had adopted process, product and institutional innovation.
