Introduction
Skills are important to conduct proper research which can be beneficial for development of skills
and acquiring new set of skills. The present study is focused on my experience that I have gained
by working on this project along with the issues that I have faced. The study also highlights the
section that were developed by me in order to analyse my knowledge and experience in a proper
manner.
1. My personal contribution to the topic selection, problem definition, research question,
writing of topic approval submission, and team charter. How I experienced this and what I
learnt from it
The most important part of the research is to select relevant topic which would be matching the
skills (Philbrick et al., 2017). The topic that has been selected is on the basis of the relevency and
the sources can easily be procured out of the topic. The topic also needs to focus on the recent
trends and must have a significant impact on the lives of the people. The topic that has been
selected for the research was Effect of Social Media on the Buying Behaviour. As per my
observation the social media and its impact on the buying behaviour is an area that is not
explored but everyone is experiencing it on a daily basis. I have also contributed to the fact that
the research objectives and questions needs to explore all the possible areas of the topic that can
be positive and negative. The approval of topic took nearly 2 days, as it was necessary to clear all
the necessary doubts in order to conduct proper research in the context of the study. I have
experienced that the topic that was selected by us can have a major impact on the readers as it is
something that everyone can relate and the impact of social media has been significant in our
lives.
2. My personal contribution to the literature review report, i.e. search process,
summarising of relevant articles, designing the outline/argument/structure of the literature
review, writing up the literature review. How I experienced this and what I learnt from it
The literature review can be considered to be a significant part for the study as it can help in
exploring the various areas that can be required for the topic of study. In order to conduct proper
