INTRODUCTION
Research is defined as the systematic investigation process of various facts as well as
basis for the purpose of increasing the current knowledge. It can be done by finding several facts
and figures through available knowledge and abilities in an appropriate manner (Di Pietro, Di
Virgilio and Pantano, 2012). There are various organisations who conduct research study so that
decisions can be made and developed. It is essential for getting accurate results as well as
outcomes. The current study is based on Toyota Motor Corporation which is Japanese
multinational automotive company. This organisation is facing several types of problems or
issues at the workforce due to lack of coordination, interactions and poor communications among
staff members as it directly effects on the business operations. The assignment will examine the
impact of effective communication in increasing productivity. It will formulate research project
and identify factors for this. Moreover, critical review will also be undertaken. It produces plan
and procedures for research and collects data by framing questions. Interpretation and
recommendation also will be given in this.
TASK 1
1.1 Formulate and record research project outline specification
Research generally conducts for some specific reasons as well as purposes of any
organisation. It is based on outcomes and generates profits, so researcher considers these kinds of
studies for getting the best results. As per this report, it has outlined some specifications which
must be required for achieving particular aims or objectives in an effective manner. This research
