Objective of the Research Project Report

Scope of the Research Project Report

Brief introduction of Industry selected for Research Project Report.

 Review of Literature:

A literature review is a survey of scholarly sources on a specific topic. It provides an overview of

current knowledge, allowing you to identify relevant theories, methods, and gaps in the existing
research.
 Research Methodology
Methodology is the systematic, theoretical analysis of the methods applied to a field of study. It
comprises the theoretical analysis of the body of methods and principles associated with a branch
of knowledge. Typically, it encompasses concepts such as paradigm, theoretical model, phases
and quantitative or qualitative techniques.

 A research design is the set of methods and procedures used in collecting and analyzing
measures of the variables specified in the problem research.
 A research problem is a statement about an area of concern, a condition to be
improved, a difficulty to be eliminated, or a troubling question that exists in scholarly
literature, in theory, or in practice that points to the need for meaningful understanding
and deliberate investigation.
 Research objectives describe concisely what the research is trying to achieve. They
summarize the accomplishments a researcher wishes to achieve through the project and
provides direction to the study.

 Secondary data refers to data that is collected by someone other than the user. (Mainly
from published sources) Common sources of secondary data for social science include
censuses, information collected by government departments, organizational records and
data that was originally collected for other research purposes.
Secondary data analysis can save time that would otherwise be spent collecting data and,
particularly in the case of quantitative data, can provide larger and higher-quality
databases that would be unfeasible for any individual researcher to collect on their own.
 Significance of the study concern with the advantages of study of the project for the
same organization/institution.
 Limitations of the study can exist during research/project work such as time, money, data
etc.

 Data Analysis:

Data analysis is the process of systematically applying statistical and/or logical techniques to
describe and illustrate, condense and recap, and evaluate data.

 Finding of the Study:

The principal outcomes of a research project; what the project suggested, revealed or indicated.
This usually refers to the totality of outcomes, rather than the conclusions or suggestions drawn
from them.

 Conclusion & Suggestions:

The student presents the conclusion and suggestion following the finding of the study. The first
section is the conclusions of the research finding and the second is the suggestion dealing with
the objectives of teaching and learning process.

 Bibliography/Reference:

Bibliography as a discipline, is traditionally the academic study of books as physical, cultural

objects; in this sense, it is also known as bibliology. For Example:

Alden, D. L., Steenkamp, J. B. E., & Batra, R. (1999). Brand positioning through advertising in
Asia, North America, and Europe: The role of global consumer culture. Journal of Marketing,
63(1), 75–87
