This is intended as a guide only to help you prepare for a project and submit
the report. As every project is different it is expected that the methodology and
report will vary in content, style and emphasis.
The final project is an essential requirement and integral part of the curriculum
for successful completion of MBA programme. The project aims at developing
insight and capabilities in the students for in depth study, research, interpretation
and analysis on a particular chosen/allotted topic. Projects are to be significant
works of an applied nature, wherein the student is working with a company or
organization to analyze and propose a solution to a specific problem or problems.
Project topic has to be selected with respect to the programme of study and area
selected by the student.
Title of the project should clearly specify the objective and scope of the study. It
should be specific and neither too vague nor centralistic.
Project selection has to be made in consultation with the faculty member allotted
to supervise.
In this step of the project process student must first obtain answers to the
questions, “what is the purpose of this study?” and “what are the objectives of
the project?”
After the project objective have been specified (Step 1) and list of needed
informed has been prepared (Step 2) the student should determine whether such
information is already available, either in company records or in outside sources.
If the needed information is not available from the secondary sources, the student
will have to collect data in the field, until the appropriate secondary sources of
information have been reviewed.
The stusent must also decide how large a sample to select. The sample should be
large enough to be representative of the population.
Field work includes meeting the respondents, giving the questionnaire and
interviewing them and selling information that is constant and logical.
After all interviews and or observations have been made, the completed data
collection forms must be processed in a way that yield the information, the
project was designed to obtain.
Next, the data must be prepared for tabulation. This means that the student must
transform the data in the computer. Tables of data must be compiled,
percentages and averages must be computed and comparisons must be made
between different classes, categories and groups. The end result should be set of
information that coincides with the list of needed information required in the
research process.
The reporting of research finding is the end product of the project process. The
key components of the Reports are presented in Part II.
