Genesis of the study
Exact scope
Organizational areas covered
Hypothesis/Project work objectives
Statistical/Software tools used
Findings and conclusions
Table of content: Table of content is the catalogue of the project report, which summarizes
every aspect of the report. Page number must be indicated in the table of content at the time of
final compilation.
List of tables and figures: In project reports, the data and results are presented in the form of
tables for quick grasp. Each and every table must be numbered. The numbering should be such
that it is internal to each chapter. For example, if the total number of tables in Chapter 4 is 20,
then the numbering should be from Table 4.1 to Table 4.20 and similarly for figures.
Text
Different items under 'Text' are Chapters, Main Sections, Subsections, and Conclusions.
Chapters: The text of the report should be divided into different chapters depending on the type
of project. In the case of survey based project report, the different chapters are as listed below:
1. Introduction
a. Introduction of Topic
b. Background & justification of the topic
2. Company Profile
3. Literature Review
4. Research/Project Objectives and Hypothesis
5. Research Methodology
6. Data Analysis/Presentation and Interpretation of Findings
7. Conclusion
8. Suggestions and Recommendations
Introduction: The chapter on introduction should begin with the origin and the development of
the project concept along with the most significant contributions in the past must be summarized
9
in this chapter. At the end of this chapter, the plan of project in the form of a flowchart should
be presented. Further, this chapter should give a lead for literature search.
Introduction to Organization: It focuses on background, organization structure, company
turnover, product line, distribution network, market share and relevance of the subject to the
organization under study.
Literature Review: Literature review is the crucial part of any research. This helps the
researcher avoid reinventing past contributions and results. This focuses on the past literature in
the field of research and its classification under different angles.
Project Objectives and Hypothesis: Based on the direction of the literature review, the
researcher should clearly spell out the objectives of the research and related hypotheses.
Objectives must be supported by Data Presentation/Analysis and Hypotheses should be duly
tested with appropriate statistical tools.
Research Methodology: Methodology aims to finalize the activities of research design and data
collection procedure.
After designing the questionnaire, the researcher should organize the data collection activity
with the help of interviewers as per the assumed sampling plan and experimental design.
Anyone or a combination of primary data collection methods, viz., observation method, personal
interview, and telephone interview and mail survey is to be used in the study.
Data Analysis and Interpretation: The data analysis can be classified into preliminary
analysis and hypotheses testing. This chapter deals with the application of statistical tools for the
analysis of data and making inferences.
In preliminary analysis, the data are presented in the form of charts and graphs to have insight
into the research problem. This helps the researcher come out with some inferences, but these
are based on the observations from the charts and graphs.
The second type of analysis is the testing of hypotheses. The different hypotheses which have
been formulated earlier are tested at this stage. This exercise will reveal certain underlying facts
of the research problem which will help the researcher formulate strategies for the operations of
any business system. This chapter will have a major subsection on results and discussions. In
some cases, this section deals with mathematical models and regression models, in addition to
the above items.
Conclusion: The chapter on conclusion summarizes project findings, contribution of the study,
limitations of the study, and scope for the future research.
Suggestions and Recommendations: The researcher has to give his/her views as suggestion or
10
recommendations to the organization based on the analysis of data collected.
Bibliography
A bibliography, the product of the practice of bibliography, is a systematic list of books and
other works such as journal articles. Bibliographies range from "works cited" lists at the end of
books and articles to complete, independent publications. As separate works, they may be in
bound volumes such as those shown on the right or computerized bibliographic databases. A
library catalog, while not referred to as a "bibliography," is bibliographic in nature. The
references can be classified into journals, books, magazines, newspapers, research studies, etc.
Please follow APA style of referencing as illustrated below.
Journal articles: The articles which are taken from journals should be included in the
bibliography as per the following format.
Author(s), year of publication, Title of the article, Name of the journal, Volume of the
journal, Issue number and page number
A few examples of journal publications are presented below. If the number of authors is more
than two, it is preferable to use et al. after the first author.
