The group project will be an important and crucial part of your learning experience. The group
projects provide an opportunity to research and in-depth study of the selected topics as well as
investigate how the concepts learned in the course are applied in the real corporate world. They
also promote team-work and help in transforming PRM participants into effective managers. The
following rules will be applicable to group projects:
Progress report submission: Choose your project topic quickly so that you can start
collecting the information required from primary and/or secondary sources. Groups
should finalize their project title by the Third week of the term. By the midterm each
group needs to submit a brief description (3-4 pages, called the Progress report) of
their project which may include: Introduction/Background of the study, the objective(s)
of the study, the scope and Methodology, likely conclusions and recommendation, and
selected references.
As a part of the project, your group would tap primary/secondary sources of information
and analyze the firms performance in relevant areas, study trends, investigate issues and
problems facing the company, measures taken by the company and also try to suggest
how the company could improve its future systems and/or performance.
Project presentations: Each group will be required to present their project work which
should cover both the analysis of primary and secondary data, as applicable. Each
presentation will be of 10 minutes with 7-8 minutes given to the group to highlight the
key findings and 2-3 minutes for questions/discussion in the class.
The final project report: Final project report, must be submitted as per the suggested
deadline, and should not exceed 20 pages. It may include the following:
Data analysis
Conclusions and recommendation.
References.
Caution: Please note that plagiarism or cut-paste from available reports will be penalized
heavily. It might even lead to rejection of the report. Grading of the report will be done
on the strength of the analysis and explanation therein, as well as quality of primary &
secondary sources tapped. All group members must contribute to the project work;
piggyback riders might be penalized. It is important to adhere to the deadlines and
non-adherence to the dates will be penalized.
