APPLIED MANAGEMENT PROJECT 3
INTRODUCTORY NOTES TO STUDENTS
Applied Management Project is different from other BSM courses due to the following
four aspects:
Students work independently during the 10 weeks. The learning teams
take on a supportive role of encouraging, reviewing, generating ideas, and
helping to solve problems for each other.
The paper should be written using APA (6
th
ed) guidelines, which can be
found in the APA Publication Manual, published by the American
Psychological Association. Summaries of APA guidelines may be found
on the Internet (e.g., "APA Style Sheet").
This course does not have the same instructor-student interaction as
other BSM courses. However, students are expected to meet with the
instructor at least twice during the ten week period. The first meeting is to
ensure that the student has chosen an acceptable management topic and
has prepared an adequate problem statement (or research question(s)).
The second meeting is to provide the instructor with an update regarding
the status of th.

Guidelines – Project Report 2 AIMS Institute of Management Studies
3. INTRODUCTION
You are required to undertake a major individual piece of research work - the Project. The aim of the
Project is to give you an opportunity to learn independently and show that you can identify, define and
analyze problems and issues; and integrate knowledge in a business context and arrive at an
implementable solution for the benefit of the organization. It is an important part of the Post-Graduate
Program that tests your ability to understand and apply the theory, the concepts and the tools of analysis
to a specific situation. This handbook has been compiled to clarify the framework of the project and
suggest some ways of assuring success.
The only precise rule on what constitutes an acceptable project is that it should be an ordered critical
exposition, which affords evidence of reasoning power and knowledge of the relevant literature in an
approved field falling within the subject matter of the programme - Management. The emphasis
should be on applied research and the investigation of some practical problem or issue related to the
situation in which an organisation or system operates.
Please note that the project must not be treated as just another assignment. The Project provides an
opportunity to judge the student’s time and self-management skills and his/her ability to successfully
undertake a long and in-depth study. Hence, it is not only the product that is important, but also the
process itself. Students must, therefore, ensure that they maintain regular contact with their Project
Guide and also that they provide the Project Guide with drafts of their work at regular intervals. Finally,
to keep yourself up-to-date and under control as regards your project, it is imperative that you meet your
Project Guide regularly.
Guidelines – Project Report 3 AIMS Institute of Management Studies
4. OVERVIEW OF PROJECT
The project is a practical, in-depth study of a problem, issue, opportunity, technique or procedure – or
some combination of these aspects of business. Typically, you will be required to define an area of
investigation, carve out research design, assemble relevant data, analyse the data, draw conclusions and
make recommendations. Your project should demonstrate organisational, analytical and evaluative skills,
and, where appropriate, an ability to design a suitable implementation and review procedure.
The project is the longest and most original piece of work you will undertake in your post-graduate study.
It reflects a strong sense of responsibility and commitment towards project undertaken.
Guidelines – Project Report 4 AIMS Institute of Management Studies
5. GUIDELINES AND REQUIREMENTS FOR THE PROJECT
Your project report should make clear what you have attempted and why you have attempted it; the
methods that you have used to collect, collate and analyze the information obtained; and how you have
evaluated it. Any recommendations made should be supported by the evidence presented and by logical
argument using deductive and inductive reasoning. For a Project to be of a high quality it is imperative to
avoid detailed description devoid of analytical content.
Guidelines – Project Report 5 AIMS Institute of Management Studies
6. CHOOSING A TOPIC
Choosing your topic is probably the most important thing you will do as it decides the direction of your
efforts, during the entire Internship period. The choice of topic is up to you, with guidance from your
Project Guide, but, he/ she is not there to make the decision for you. To a large extent, your ideas will
be influenced by your situation. The initial ideas are likely to originate in a vague form and may lack a
clear focus. These then need to be developed into something manageable and practical by consideration
of available literature/ texts and discussion with your Project Guides once allocated.
Most Project ideas come from:
Personal experience: this is an obvious starting point for the project because in every
organization there would be some issue that can be researched into.
An example of a project originating from this way could be an evaluation of the Training
Department of your organization or an evaluation of the performance appraisal systems used for
salesmen in your organization.
Observation of events: Personal observation of events in the organization/ environment can serve
as a starting point for a project idea. An example of this could be that you observe that the
employee turnover in your organization is very high and as your project you could research into
the reasons for this and make suitable recommendations.
Issues of current interest: Reviewing key issues of broader relevance may be another useful
indicator for a project idea. Considering the global perspective with relevance to current business
practices of the organization. You need to take care when dealing with issues such as these. It may
be necessary to confine yourself to an aspect of the issue or you could find yourself tackling
something that is too big to handle effectively and gives you a very wide project area, which
inevitably lacks depth of analysis.
Whatever the source of your project idea, familiarity with the area is imperative for the successful
completion of the project.
Guidelines – Project Report 6 AIMS Institute of Management Studies
7. SCOPE OF THE PROJECT
An acceptable project will normally fall into one of the following categories:
Exploratory- a study that involves carrying out original research in order to meet the
organization’s continual need for new information for forward decision-making. The main issues
may be human, economical, functional etc, but the construction and/or application of some kind
of research instrument are the focus of the study. The analysis of the research findings (e.g.
client’s responses to questionnaire about changing product specifications) should take place,
resulting in proposals about how to manage relevant aspects of the organisation’s future.
Explanatory- a study, which would involve studying relationships between different variables
like a cause & effect relationship study.
Descriptive- a study that would need an in-depth portrayal of an accurate profile of events or
situations from the business environment.
Guidelines – Project Report 7 AIMS Institute of Management Studies
8. GENERAL GUIDELINES FOR PROJECT
The students will have to undergo Internship of 60-days after the completion of 2nd Semester.
The Project MUST be certified by Authorized signatory from the Organization. The Certificate
MUST to be printed on Organization’s Letterhead and carry impression of Organization’s Seal.
The students are required to submit the Project Report on or before the deadline.

during the entire project report.
No two students can have the same research objectives and target audience.
No two students undergoing Internship at the same organization can have the same Project Title.
The students Project Report must have own contribution and must be approved by their Project
Guide as original work.
The size of project report should not exceed 60 pages of typed matter reckoned from the first page
of Introduction to the last page.
Guidelines – Project Report 8 AIMS Institute of Management Studies
9. ORGANISING THE PROJECT REPORT
This section presents some of the norms associated with a project. It is strongly recommended that you
follow these guidelines. The final report should be presented in the following sequence:
1. Title Page
2. Acknowledgements

11. Conclusions
12. Recommendations
13. Appendices
14. Bibliography
Guidelines – Project Report 9 AIMS Institute of Management Studies
10. GUIDELINES FOR CONTENTS
Title Page (1 Page):
Keep it very simple. Do not describe the contents. Have a working title and then decide a final title
when you have finished the Project. Annexure B is the standard format of the Title Page that every
student is expected to use.
Acknowledgement (1 Page):
Here you have the opportunity to thank the various people who have helped in the development of the
project. It might include specific individuals who have given information, offered insights, or
generally been supportive. Do remember to include official designations of the people you wish to
acknowledge. Gratitude may be expressed to groups of people, like those who were studied, or
fellow students. Try not to be too flippant or too “soppy”!
Executive Summary (1-2 Pages):
This is a summary of about 300 words (not more than one side of 1.5-spaced A4) that describes the
topic; explains the aims and methods of the study and gives a brief resume of the main conclusions
and recommendations.
Table of Contents (1 Page):
The contents page gives the reader the first view of how the project is structured and how the author
attempted to develop the topic. It lists sequentially the sections and major sub-divisions of the
sections; each identified by a heading and located by a page number. Annexure C gives an example.
List of Tables and Figures (1 Page):
Throughout the project, it is likely that you will want to present material in tabulated or diagrammatic
form. Some such presentations will bear only indirectly or partially on your arguments, and in such
cases you will need to decide about their proper location. Additional or less relevant information may
be better placed in an appendix.
Whether you decide to locate your tables/figures in the main body of the report or the appendices, it is
conventional to provide special “contents pages” so that readers can easily find the information.
Tables and figures should be listed on a separate page. Annexure D is an example of the same.
Guidelines – Project Report 10 AIMS Institute of Management Studies
11. Introduction (Not more than 3-4 Pages):
The introduction is crucial, since it sets the tone and context for the rest of the project. In the
introduction, it is important to outline the reasons behind the study – your motives or rationale for
conducting the study. You must give a broad introduction to the topic under review and types of
issues it raises.
Central to this part of the project is the setting of clear objectives, which you intend to achieve by the
end of the study. Your statement of objectives should be concise and precise, and should be carefully
considered in the light of your original aims and what you have been able to achieve in your study.
Finally, you should include a summary of how you are going to treat the chosen topic, running briefly
through the sections to show how the structure of the project allows you to explore the topic in your
selected way.
The flow can be maintained as:
What is the project
Purpose of the project
Scope of the project
Salient Contributions of the project

Research Instrument (if it is a questionnaire, you have to write what type of questionnaire.
However, do not assume always that you need to have questionnaire to start the research. One of
the greatest sins you will commit is to think designing questionnaire to start your research will
convent your research putting cart before the horse.) Always remember that you need not have
questionnaire to do research. You have different methods and use them to enrich your thought
process.

All the material that relates to your project, including completed questionnaires or tapes from
interviews, should be shown to your Project Guide and be kept until the examination board has
confirmed your results. Do not throw this material away once your project is submitted, as you
might be asked to present it as part of the viva voce, before your project results are confirmed.

16. YOU AND YOUR PROJECT GUIDE
The Project Guide's role is one of guidance - providing advice and pointing out possible problems that
may arise. The Project Guide's role is to appraise your ideas and work. You must take overall
responsibility for both the content of your project and its management. This includes selection of an
appropriate subject area (with the approval of the Project Guide), setting up meetings with the
Project Guide, devising and keeping to a work schedule (to include contingency planning), and providing
the Project Guide with samples of your work. It is your responsibility to make contact with your
Project Guide and arrange meetings at appropriate times. You should use the time with the Project
Guides wisely.
You should spread your workload over the entire time available for carrying out your project. Draw up a
realistic work schedule with in-built slack to allow for problems. Be sure you are aware of your specific
hand-in dates.
You must exchange contact details with your Project Guide, and make sure that he or she has your
relevant contact information. Note that if the records show that your contact with your Project Guide
is not good; your project may not be marked.
Be sure you are clear about the assessment criteria for the project. Note that a significant proportion of
the grade is allocated to presentation and style. A high level of communication skills is expected.
However, it is not within the role or the duties of your Project Guide to correct your grammar and
syntax.
Your Project Guide will comment upon samples of your work but will not pre-mark the whole
document, or substantial portions of it. If asked, you must present a sample of your written work prior to
a meeting with your Project Guide, at an agreed time. Under no circumstances will your Project
Guide give you an indication of your expected final grade.
You must keep hard copies of each version of your work, and save copies of the current version on
a main and a backup disk (preferably kept apart from each other). Disks should regularly be virus-checked.
Also, make sure to keep printed copies of working documents, and the raw data from any
questionnaires or other data collection.

17. DO’S AND DON’TS DURING INTERNSHIP PERIOD
WHAT YOU SHOULD DO
Be wary if you are relying upon organizations to provide you with information. They will not give
you confidential or sensitive information and you must not expect them to respond as promptly as
you would like.
From the synopsis to your final report constantly fine tune your project report. It will be rich
experience for you to cherish.
Be enthusiastic to listen, to learn, to talk
Be curious
Be honest
Show your integrity
Define your body language
Make a statement
WHAT YOU SHOULD NOT DO
Trying to take breaks while doing project ( you cannot have holidays during your project work).
Trying to miscommunication with organizations by telling that institute wants a review. We are
sending your schedule of project report to all the organizations. You do not have any reviews in
between.
While taking to the organization personnel do not degrade your institute or teachers by making
statements that are reduce your self-image.
Talking negative and trying to be certain about everything. No organization or person likes
negative talk and people who ask too may question to be certain of everything.
Let us give some examples
i. I want marketing project, I am in a finance organization. Do not ask the manager this
question. You are going to an organization to know its business and business do not have
functional silos. However, ask questions relating to your project, show enthusiasm. Smile,
enjoy hard work.
Guidelines – Project Report 17 AIMS Institute of Management Studies
18. ii. If some urgent work is to be done by the organization, do it willingly. For example the office
has no power and your manager finds that the electricity bill is not paid, volunteer to do the
task. MBA is not management by arrogance. Never show that this is not my work. You will
be surprised to know that there is no such work as not your work. The organizations are
boundary less organizations.
iii. Do not take campus culture to organization. Leave letters, excuses, concessions etc. Inculcate
organizations culture and come to institute with all ideas to change the way in which you
work in institute. Share experience with your classmates and teachers. It is an opportunity to
professionalize with you.
iv. Be dressed in formal attire and go to organization. Some organizations have informal
environment. They may not insist on your attire. That does not mean that you go with
casuals.

19. A FEW TIPS
Do not write history of statistical tools what you have to write is what appropriate tools you have
used and reason for using the tools please cross tabulate your data in order to further
understanding.
Get organized; give yourself time to think about your project. Look at the information available –
there is enough information available for you to be able to produce a good project.
You should ensure that you have covered all the major issues pertinent to the topic by the end of
the main body of the project.
Depending on the nature of your project, it might be appropriate to include a summary of your
findings before embarking on your conclusions.
It is worthwhile investing in some reliable storage devices for storing your project - related
documents. Keep at least two copies (updated). Remember to virus check your storage devices.
The final printing and binding of your project can be the most frustrating time. Allow five
working days. Numbering pages, re-arranging pagination and putting together the Contents page
takes a deal of time – do not underestimate this part of your task. So, to save your time and
frustration, allow yourself five working days for this part of the task.
Finally, remember to print and keep a copy of the project report for your own use, as no
copy of the report submitted will be returned to you.

Harvard Referencing
Please note that all sources referenced in the main text should also
be fully detailed in the reference and bibliography section.
Guidelines – Project Report 28 AIMS Institute of Management Studies
29. Referencing is a standardized method of acknowledging sources of information and ideas that you have
used in your report in a way that uniquely identifies their source. Direct quotations and figures, as well as
ideas and theories, both from published and unpublished works must be referenced.
This appendix provides a brief guide to the Harvard Referencing style.
For Textbooks:
