INTRODUCTION
The process of completing a Masters in Business Administration (MBA) course
instils an individual with various professional skills and provides them with new business
experiences. This is a reflective journal report through which I summarise my
endeavours and experiences of undertaking a business research project as part of my
MBA course.
MAIN BODY
My team and I were tasked by our teachers to undertake a business research
project in order for us to apply the MBA skills we had acquired towards a high quality
research project. For this we were tasked with collectively selecting a topic that the

with all the research questions, problem definition and team charter. While my team
mates were delegating how to divide the jobs between each member of the team in the
team charter, I was tasked with writing the topic approval submission that was to be
submitted to our teacher in order for the selected topic to get approved and the
business research project to start. In this phase I realised and learned the importance of
choosing a topic for research that is relevant and valid to the current times. I also
learned just how troublesome delegating tasks amongst various team members can be.
After effectively selecting the topic for our business research project and defining
the problem, goals, research questions, team charter etc. for our project, we moved on
to writing the literature review part of our business research project. This was a
completely new learning experience for me as although I had undertaken some
