Designing and Managing a Research Project:A Business Student’s Guide

I am sure, in many mushrooming management institutes, the completion of a research project remains to be a formality in order to acquire the masters degree (at least in countries like India). I do not know how many students are enthused to do the research project and how many of them have fair knowledge about various aspects of research at that stage. The very word ‘research’ makes people uncomfortable when basic things are not clear and when one doesn’t receive proper guidance for conducting the research. The number of people that would like to register for Ph.D. in management and the number that receive doctorates is a clear indication of it. When enough research is not carried out in a discipline, the growth and development of the discipline itself is at stake.
