THE PROJECT REPORT OF BBA (You are advised to carefully read the instructions given and follow them in the preparation of the Project Report. Non-compliance with any of these instructions may lead to rejection of Project Report submitted.) INTRODUCTION The III Semester students of BBA Programme are required to carry out a project work on the ORGANISATION STUDY of a chosen company under the supervision of an eligible guide and submit THREE hard bound copies of the Project on or before March 31, 2015, which will be evaluated along with Viva-voce examination. The aim of the project is to give the students an opportunity to learn independently and to identify, define and analyze an organisation related to all the Departments of Management and integrate knowledge in a business context. It must be noted that the Project Report must not be treated as just another assignment. The Project Report provides the opportunity to judge the students time and self-management skills and his/her ability to successfully undertake long and in-depth study or the organisation. 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 guide and also that they provide the guide with drafts of their work at regular intervals. SELECTION OF THE COMPANY Selection of the company is probably the crucial aspect of the Organisation Study. The choice of the company is up to the students with prior approval of guide. However while selecting a company it is essential that the topics are related to management and of current relevance. These then need to be developed into something manageable and practical by consideration of available literature/texts and discussion with your Project Guide. What meets requirement is that the study must involve carrying out original research in order to meet the organization s continual need for new information for forward decision-making. A macro study on a topic also can be carried out, but care must be taken to ensure that it is a contribution to the existing literature without any duplication. PRESENTATION OF THE PROJECT REPORT 1
