are in the following.
In the first stage the feasibility team needs to find
out the problems of this business research and pin
point them to conduct a proper research.
Then in the second stage, the team will have to
find all the other sources and the secondary
sources which are also cost effective, to conduct

As this is a very important research about the
sustainability of the business several theories,
framework and several important notes and
references are used. There are several concepts 15
and guidelines that has to be used to conduct the
research and those are taken from some sources
and references.
To conduct and follow those guidelines and
frameworks the following books and resources are
used.
Mark Saunders, P. L. (2015). Resaerch Methods for
Business Students. South Asia: Dorling Kindersley (India)

These are the books those are used to take
guidelines and proper frameworks to conduct the
business. All the theories or most of the theories
are taken from these books, to design a proper
research for all the teams and the feasibility team
to find out about the sustainability of the business.
These two are extremely important references
which are used in this research and also extremely
useful and very important for building the
framework and following theories to design a
proper research methodology and also these
theories and frameworks are the most important
which were used to build and design a proper
framework for the feasibility team to follow and
maintain theories and also conduct the research
flawlessly.
Addition of secondary sources references are also
extremely important for the research
methodology. So for that the secondary sources
were also given in the research methodology.
To support the project and the research several
secondary evidences are also extremely important.
For that consumer behavior, market gap model
and chain model, these were used as a secondary

Your Learning
What are the most important
aspects/examples of learning
and/or skills which you have
gained from:
(1) undertaking the MBA
programme,
(2) following through your
research, and
(3) applying your knowledge and
evidence for research.
Developing and conducting a research about this
project and also developing the different business
proposal and feasibility research for the feasibility
team was an extremely challenging work. This 10
work had many tasks and several of them.
This business academic proposal was a mixture of
different task and different skills. It has all the
softs skills and also the hard skills which are
needed to conduct the research. So conducting
such research actually helped me a lot to
understand about the IT sector of the country and
also about the skills to successfully run a business
in this sector of the country.
Besides that there are several skills and
knowledge which I acknowledged. Those skills I
developed actually was made possible because of
the research proposal and the research
development on this subject. Some of the skills
which I perfectly got and which I will be using in
the future are , entrepreneurship, change
management and innovation, conceptual skills
analytical and decision making knowledge,
business planning and ad implementation skills
and competencies, knowledge on business
functions, risk management skills, business model
development skills and competencies to me.
These are such skills which I acquired and which I
will be able to use in my future life.
I have gained lots of important skills and learning
aspects in my life by undertaking the MBA
program. I have learned and acquired such
knowledge and skills after joining the MBA
program.
The things I learned about this research by 10
applying some analysis and models are given
below.
1. By doing the SWOT analysis, I have
learned about how the business is doing
what you have learnt in your Major
Project
(max. 200 words)
Critical Thinking and your ideas

(max. 200 words)
and the areas where I should improve. And
I have also learned about the strengths, the
weaknesses, opportunities and also about
the threats of this business.
2. From the McKinsey’s 7s framework, I got
know about the clear picture of the
different status of the running business.
3. From the BVG growth matrix, I have
learned the most useful things about the
business and the long term strategic
planning of the business by reviewing all
the products that is the portfolio of
products. This matrix also taught me about
where to invest in the business, which
product to discontinue and which product
to develop more and where to consider
growth opportunities.
4. By using Bowman’s strategy clock I got
to know about the competitive position of
the business according to the offering of
the competitors.
5. By using the VRIO framework for the
business, I learned about the business
developments of this business. This
framework actually taught me about the
new and sustainable works of the business
that is it uncovers the sustained
competitive advantage of this business.
To get a critical thinking and critical idea,
feasibility research and lots of instigations are
required. These actually lets the CEO’s know and
gather more knowledge about the business and
also the critical ideas and critical exercises.
Developing and doing a business is a very critical 10
and hard challenges which involves critical
thinking. It is also very risky thing. For investors
also this is a very risky step to come and invest in
a new business. So the investors also need to first
come and do proper research and gather
knowledge and proper ideas before they can move
forward for any kinds of investments. Even after
doing such research they also need to do an extra

Barriers met
What were the main difficulties
and barriers which you were faced
within:
(l) undertaking your research, and
(2) completing your Major project
(max. 200 words)
research which is the sustainability research. It is
because before investing in a business an investor
must know how sustainable the business will be in
the future. Will it sustain or not and will it be
profitable for them, they need to do proper
research about that. So the investors in this case
needs to do a thorough and proper research so that
they get to know the in depth of the sustainability
of the business before investing.
There are many areas and many opportunities for
business in the society where one can invest by
doing a proper feasibility research.
By undertaking this research and completion of
major project I had to face lots of difficulties and
barriers in order to complete both of them.
At first I had to face a problem which called the
10
time management problem. It is extremely hard to
separate business life and personal life and also
maintain both of them and work for both of them
at the same time. It is because I have to give time
to both of the sectors. And each sector is equally
important in my life, not only in my life it also
influence impacts on other person’s life as well.
Then comes a problem which I faced during my
feasibility research. The problem was data
collection problem. It is because in our country
right to information is not maintained properly. So
to get proper information to conduct research was
an extremely difficult thing which I had to face.
After that comes another problem which is the
stress and heavy load of work on me. To maintain
both professional and personal life I have to work
super hard on both sides to go through them
properly each.
Lastly, the problem which I had to face was the
funding. Funding was a huge problem and it was
very hard for me to get proper funding to conduct
this feasibility research. So in that case I even had
to fund personally.

Objectives
Based on your research and the

MBA Programme and its use in
your Major Project, what were and
how far have the objectives of your
Major project been achieved?
(max. 250 words)
Undertaking my research and my major project
have taught me a lots of things and made me a
better and more skillful person than before. By
doing the projects of BDP and feasibility research
10
I have acquired many skills which I will be using
it in my career for the rest of my life and also get
better and prosper successfully.
Some of the skills which I gathered during this
are, entrepreneurship, relationship management,
and analytical skills and capabilities, leadership
skills, environment bench marking and analysis,
ME management, risk management, social and
people skills, creativity and innovation, the
knowledge on R&D, data collection, data analysis
through software application ,talent management,
conceptual skills, other soft and hard skills.
The projects of BDP and also the feasibility
research project was actually a lifetime
opportunity to gather knowledge and develop and
fulfill the inventory of skills. By doing this things
I got myself in such a position from where I can
develop a lot fast than the one I was as a person
before doing such research and projects of BDP
and feasibility.
These research of feasibility and projects of BDP
while doing my MBA was very valuable exercise
and it will also help me build a better career and
personal life.
The research and the MBA programme and its use
in my major subject have made me achieve my
objectives very well.
It is because the feasibility research and the BDP
10
projects have helped me achieved many skills
which was not possible for me to achieve by
doing any other things. It might be possible to
achieve those skills by doing other things but the
effectiveness and the amount of time which I will
consume from my life might be a lot in the
process of achieving them.
These subjects provide the knowledge and

understanding for applying these to practical
scenario. The knowledge and experience on the
subject and discipline supported to complete the
research project successfully. Especially when I
learned and worked I applied all the theories
which I learned and also applied all the
knowledge and skills which I acquired while I
was doing the feasibility research and the BDP
projects. After doing those I found that both of my
projects the BDP and the feasibility was done
successfully as I applied the things and skills,
theories, knowledge, time, hard work and
everything else which I acquired I gave it all in
and successfully I completed the BDP and the
feasibility research.
So the root success of all of these things was the
MBA program. It is because, because of the MBA
program was given all of these task and these
tasks led me to do hard work and learn a lot to
complete these tasks perfectly. The MBA
program was designed in such a way that the
individual will be forced to do works and take
works loads and also acquire skills and
achievements which the individual did not have
previously.
All the outcomes which I got and all the things I
got for my future, I think it was extremely
positive and will be extremely helpful for my
future. The business development project was the
10
crucial and challenging experience for me to have
the wide range of hard and soft skills to my skill
inventory and it is concluded that development of
the business project is the challenging and
comprehensive task and it recommends that it
needs the comprehensive analyzing and feasibility
analysis.
I have gained lots of insights and skills by doing
the business development projects like the
feasibility research. The skills I learned and got
was the professional and managerial level. So the
learnings I got, I will be able to use it in my
professional life if I work as a manager, or I can
also use it in my life if I start my own business in
 the future. At that time I perfectly know what are
the things I need to do when I will conduct the
business and how I can make it sustainable.
So the findings, conclusions and also the
recommendations are totally useful for me and
also extremely precious for my future career to
prosper and be successful.
