can be conducted for the longer period of time. I got the points the in recent period of time each
and every business organizations is aiming to accomplish their goals. While proceeding into the
project I came to know that while conducting any of the work, it is necessary to understand any
of the decision should be taken on the basis of situation. Even there is the requirement of law as
well as because if any of the decision will not be taken by considering the law and regulations
then legal actions can be taken easily.

project but still it is necessary leaders and management are the one who helps business
organisation to perform their task in a systematic manner. They can easily guide that what is
required to be done and what should not be done. In addition, they have the ability to take some
of the important decision which can help to accomplish the goals of an organisation. Whole of

and even society. These were some of the difficulties which were faced while I was working in
the third week.

high chances that skills can be improved. In the same manner, I was also able to express about
resources. I had found that the competition is increasing day by day any of the sector due to
which they are not utilising the available resources in a systematic manner which is creating the
problem.
