3.2 DOCUMENTATION
Administrative specialists who manage office records are known as documentation experts. Their
main duties include creating an archiving system, retrieving records on demand, and developing a
long-term storage plan.
A Document Controller's typical responsibilities include the following:
The appropriate storage or entry of documents into a records system is an important
aspect of the Documentation Specialist's work. They may also be required to enter their
contributions into a database.
Documentation Specialists are frequently required to edit or examine papers, particularly
when working in specialized fields such as a bank's loan department, a medical
institution, or an organization's contract division. All documents entering and exiting
storage are subject to document control.
Documentation Specialists create and manage systems for document storage and
retrieval, as well as teach other employees on how to use the systems effectively. They
are also in charge of document security and document access management.
As administrative experts, Documentation Specialists are frequently responsible for
various administrative chores such as filing, scanning, faxing, creating reports,
performing research, and data entry.

3.4 CHARTERING
The chartering desk works on different charters for moving cargo, providing support to the trading
desk. They help the company by providing flexible solutions while being able to customize and
adapt based on the requirements of clients.
The Chartering Department is the Shipping Group's commercial department in charge of marketing
the Group's fleet to various clients to obtain fleet employment under both short and long-term
contracts. Some of the department's key goals include negotiating and closing employment
contracts following rigorous market research and analysis, as well as spotting market trends and
possibilities. The department is also responsible for maintaining and expanding positive working
relationships with charterers, brokers, and other Market players.
3.5 OPERATIONS
An operations department guarantees that the manufacturing process is performed from beginning
to end. These manufacturing procedures must be consistent with the aims and functions of other
divisions within a corporation. Managers assigned to the operations department keep a close eye
on the manufacturing process to ensure that their personnel can complete their jobs in a methodical
manner.
In the following ways, an operations department is critical to an organization's performance.
The operations department must work with the human resources department to determine
which resources are most suited to an employee's growth. In some cases, an employee
might be proactive in expressing areas where they need to improve. They should create a
performance evaluation and develop questions to help supervisors get feedback on an
employee's interactions with them.
An operations department must explain the principles and standards that personnel must
follow to all departments. This can be critical for businesses in highly regulated industries
such as healthcare and energy. Maintain a set of guidelines in an employee handbook that
is accessible to all employees.
They examine and alter internal reporting systems to determine how they affect each
department and whether it is easier for managers to report employees' performance prior to
the modifications.
17 | P a g e
3.6 LEGAL
The legal department oversees providing legal services and advice to the organization, its
divisions, and its workers. The department office deals with a wide range of legal issues. These
issues include business development, contract management, real estate transactions, consumer
claims against the firm for product damages and defects, litigation, employment law, sales and
leasing issues, debt collection, bankruptcy, case prosecution, and many more. All these actions
contribute to the Legal department's workflow.
18 | P a g e
3.8 IT
The IT department manages the installation and upkeep of a company's computer network
infrastructure. This may simply take a single IT person, or in the case of bigger enterprises, a team
of individuals working to keep the network running properly.
The IT staff must examine and install the required hardware and software to keep the network
running smoothly. Because this entails working within a departmental budget for network devices
and software, the IT department must ensure that the equipment it invests in will ideally fulfill the
needs of the firm without going over budget.
3.3 RISK
The process of discovering, analyzing, and controlling threats to an organization's capital and
profitability is known as risk management. These dangers or dangers might arise from several
sources, such as financial instability, legal liability, strategic management failures, accidents, and
natural disasters.
IT security threats and data-related hazards, as well as risk management measures to mitigate
them, have risen to the top of the priority list for digital businesses. As a result, firms' methods for
recognizing and controlling risks to their digital assets, such as confidential business data, a
customer's personally identifiable information (PII), and intellectual property, are increasingly
being included in risk management plans.
A company may save money and preserve its future by developing a risk management strategy and
considering the many potential risks or events before they occur. This is because a solid risk
management strategy will assist a firm in developing processes to prevent possible risks, mitigate
their effect if they occur, and deal with the consequences.
Organizations can be more confident in their business decisions if they can recognize and handle
risk. Furthermore, effective corporate governance rules that are primarily focused on risk
management can assist a firm in meeting its objectives.

CHAPTER 4:
20 | P a g e
Based on the way operations at Midstar are structured, I have grown to recognize the need of
having complete systems in place for every process and scenario to ensure that time is spent
productively: all systems were set out in black and white.
The value of teamwork: Everyone in the team, as well as the department, was exceedingly kind in
offering any form of support that helped the team develop and prosper.
Communication and timely feedback play a critical part in an organization: There were frequent
feedback meetings that were both instructive and encouraging.
Personally, I believe:
✓ I have improved my time management and interpersonal skills by managing the daily tasks
assigned to me and my project while also participating in meetings, reporting, and feedback
sessions.
✓ I have tremendously benefited from the chance to network.
✓ The internship provided me with the opportunity to connect with the organization's most
top executives. My interactions were not limited to my team; I had the option to approach
people from other teams for information, which allowed me to meet a variety of
individuals. I have made important connections with folks from whom I have learned a lot.
✓ Interacting with sharp minds has really aided my knowledge of company culture.
✓ I have become more conscious of my societal responsibilities.
✓ Since reports for a university project and an organization are not the same, I was astonished
by how much I learnt while writing the report. As an example: A 140-page report, the
graph detailing is expected to be highly detailed, and the colors used for formatting are
expected to be consistent.

5.2 COMPETITORS

few of these verticals we have market leading positions in key markets such as India,
Bangladesh, Myanmar, China, Indonesia, and Vietnam.

24 | P a g e
CHAPTER 6:
SUGGESTIONS/ RECOMMENDATIONS
25 | P a g e
The development of an integrated information system for the entire firm to reduce paper
effort. It also assists the organization in reducing its workforce count by eliminating the person
whose primary responsibility is to coordinate and send information to another department. It
helps the management to have information database and creation of an integrated database
rather than everyone maintaining their own database. It will also help the company to automate
certain jobs and reduce the work of employee thereby enabling to utilize the human capital
more effectively by using their intelligence and skill set.
Midstar is a corporation that works long hours. This demanding work schedule necessitates the
inclusion of specific leisure activities to help employees unwind. The fact that the workplace
is on the outskirts of the city also makes a significant impact; there is nothing nearby that could
be considered a respite from the monotony of the job. Thus, some activities such as indoor
games, a club room, and so on might be introduced into the company, providing employees
with a break from their lengthy working days.
They should guarantee that intra-departmental meetings are held on a weekly or monthly
basis to discuss and resolve minor and big issues as a group effort. It also readily inspires
employees and resolves conflicts between them.
They also must specify its organizational goals for each employee to evaluate and reward
their work performance. It also aids in understanding each employee's contribution to the
company's growth.
They should modify their website on a regular basis to keep their audience informed about
their company and should include an explanation of the company. They should also be
informed about innovation, quality, and infrastructure. They can also bring the information and
design up to date with the current market.
Giving employees the privacy, they require to accomplish their tasks is a modest price to pay
for a successful, joyful working environment that can yet be engaging and collaborative.
Isolationism does not imply privacy. Employers can strike a balance between the two worlds to
produce a working environment that is consistently capable of achieving desired results
without wasting resources, time, or energy, and that is simply smart business at its finest.

CHAPTER 7:
CONCLUSION
27 | P a g e
As students, we are always anxious about stepping into the corporate world. Leaving our comfort
zone is never easy. But interning at Midstar dialed down all my worries. The internship undertaken
at Midstar Management Ltd. was for a period for six weeks. Since I had never interned or worked
in such a professional institution before, I learnt how to translate my theoretical knowledge onto
practical workspaces.
On my first day, I was given a formal brief about the company, their functionality, and policies.
What I loved the most was how welcoming and kind- hearted the entire team is. My seniors
addressed even my smallest query with superlative patience and support. I was fortunate to have
interacted with the top management, learning from their experiences and skills.
This internship would benefit me in the future since it would allow me to better adapt to a
company, understand my profession, and, most importantly, help me find a better position for
myself.
With every passing day, I was more excited to come to work and began the work assigned. I
consider myself very fortunate to have been provided this opportunity. I am glad for the
opportunity to witness Midstar Management Ltd in action. I am very grateful to my superiors at the
organization for taking such an active interest in my development and ensuring that my time here
was jam-packed with valuable learning.
Finally, I would want to thank Christ University for providing me with the chance to participate in
such a valuable internship. This internship, I feel, has aided my overall development, and will
benefit me in the future.

This week there was an event happening at the company, so everyone was busy
making that a success which indeed it was one. The company had asked me to
draft a memo to invite the employees for the celebration.
I was asked to coordinate with the caterers for the cake, arrange balloons for
the celebration and ensure that everyone is maintaining the COVID-19
precautions like wearing mask, using sanitizer since there were people from
outside the organization. If someone was not wearing a mask, I had to go tell
them politely to wear it.
Much as the previous four weeks, I was able to put my theoretical knowledge
into practice. It has been another week of learning for me since I have never
interned or worked in such a professional institution before.
My supervisors have been very helpful and patient in explaining the mission to
me and answering my questions. I really enjoy going to the office and doing the
work they provide me with.

At the same time, my other task for the week was to write a testimony about my
journey at the Midstar company and make a report or a presentation on the
tasks which I did during the internship.
Much as the previous five weeks, I was able to put my theoretical knowledge
into practice.
Everyone wished me well for the future on the last day of my internship, and
my superiors spoke greatly of me and were extremely happy with my work for
the firm. I said my goodbyes to everyone and walked out of the office.
As this was my first internship, going to Midstar was beneficial and taught me a
lot of valuable lessons, such as the importance of a company and a career, the
importance of the people you work with, and the importance of enjoying
whatever you do. Midstars employees were polite and helpful in every aspect.
Coming to work and executing the duties they assigned me was a lot of fun for
me. I aim to complete more internships in the future to advance my profession.
