involves various elements such as cost, quality, risk, scope, communication and resources.
Without have these aspects, researcher can not compete his research in appropriate manner and
also can not achieve desired goals and objectives. So, it is highly important for all investigators
to consider all these components while making project management plan. Also, it helps in
managing a successful business project. 4com wants to enhance its profit, organisational growth
as well as innovation (Hewson and Stewart, 2016). For accomplishing their desired results, it
have to consider some points which are discussed as under:
Scope of product: While conducting any investigation report, it is extremely indispensable for
organisation to consider scope of that project. Scope of this current project is very high because
their are lots of opportunities which can help business enterprise in organisational growth and
also assist in increasing financial profit. With the help of of digital technology, organisation can
expand their business in all over the world, also, can produce most innovative products.
Risk management: There are several interior as well as extrinsic risks that can causing counter

Time: Organisation can lead to advanced level of prosperity and ontogeny only if its activities
get competed on given duration. Thus, it is really significant business managers to assign period
bound to all and every action so they it can complete in fewest efficacious and systematised
mode. By accomplishing this, researcher can also complete his research work on given time.
Communication: In this concept which assist in maintaining healthy operative surroundings at
workplace. For completing business activities and practices in most effective manner it is highly
important for managers to communicate necessary information to employees and business
associates. With the help of help of this, workers can clearly understand the project goals and

such as project cost, quality, communication, resources and so on. While conducting research,
even I face various problems like limited time period and funds. Due to lack of time I was not
able to to cover all population which I have decided to cover. Limits time period was the only
problem that I could not accomplish my all desired results. Budget of this research was also low.
I have learned so many things and also enhance my knowledge about research methods.
Basically there are two type of methods which are primary and secondary. It is hard to collect
primary data because its requires so much time and money so I prefer secondary research
17

because in this information is collected from secondary sources which are very easy task. I take
