Effectiveness and Usefulness of the Learning Experience
Opinion about the learning experience
The learning experience from the research work that I undertook proved to be very
helpful for me during the research process as well as it will contribute a lot in my upcoming
professional life. Global project management is one of the crucial topics in today’s business
environment and helps the companies in interacting with their global partners easily. As the
global project management is of global sphere, the project that is undertaken is huge and includes
a lot of criticalities (Binder, 2017). Thus, the research is that was undertaken was also huge and
provided me the opportunities to investigate about challenges in global project management.
Value of the experience
The experience that I received from this research was of great value to me as it helped me
to learn a lot of minute things involved in managing the challenges involved in global project
management. Project management involves various issues and there are many opportunities
available that helps in overcoming these challenges. Thus, the research helped me to realize
those opportunities which allowed me to solve the issues in project management (Gemünden,
2015). Thus, such learning will be beneficial for me in near future in my course and after
completion of my course. This is because project management is a process that is required in
almost all the companies that operates globally.
Usefulness of the Learning Experience
Project management is a topic that is very useful for me in various ways. Presently as I
am involved in project management course, the research will help me in managing the course
easily. This is because I got to learn a lot of things from the research which means that it will

help me in understanding things in the class easily. Moreover, the research will also be useful in
future because I got to learn every crucial thing that one needs to handle while working in the
real world scenario.
Ways in which the Learning Experience serve in course, program and future career
The ways to Transfer the Knowledge in the Future
The crucial and small things that I learnt from my research work will be used to transfer
in the future. This will happen when I will use my knowledge I gathered from the research in my
future career. The first place where I will use the knowledge form the research is in the course as
I got to learn many things which I can apply during my exam even without studying much. After
the course I will pursue my career as a project manager in a company that operates globally
(Geppert, Matten & Williams, 2016). During my employment I will help the company in
recognizing the challenges in project management and the ways they can overcome it.
What happened in the Learning Process?
What you did, read and hear?
The research that I took in project management undertook a lot of research in this matter.
During the research I analyzed and read various past literatures on the topic of project
management. I learnt a lot from the literature review as I saw that there are many writers that
stated the way globalization has increased over the years and laid its impact on managing the
project of the company. During the research I read many journals and news articles about the
criticality of project management and the recent problems companies are facing related to this
(Gholami & Murugesan, 2013). However, the research also undertook collecting data from the

primary sources in which a sample size of 51 was chosen as the respondents. Thus, overall the
project was of great learning to me as I got to research and find new things.
Evaluate and make Judgments connected to the observations in the Business Research
Usefulness of Business Research on the Research Learning Process
From the research I got to learn that project management is of great importance and
useful for the business. This is because project management forms a crucial part of a company
that is operating globally and undertakes many projects under them. Knowing the challenges that
global project management face is the biggest research a business will take in order to use the
opportunity in their operations. Understanding project management is the best way a company
can manage global projects easily.
Learning process
Reason behind doing particular activities
The learning process that I undertook for knowing the challenges involved in project
management is literature review and analyzing the suggestions given in past literature. Many pat
authors have stated in their journals the growth of globalization and the rising need of
understanding ways to manage projects. Literature review was selected as a process to gather
data because these scholars has great experience in the field and used extensive research to reach
a conclusion. Thus it was appropriate to use such experiences in knowing the actual opportunity
and challenges the process of project management faces (Kerzner, 2013). Another activity that I
took in the research is collecting primary data from companies that are involved in project

management with their global partners. This is because primary data is much authentic and is
collected from day to day experiences.
How the learning process apply to the future
The learning process is also helpful for me in future because the secondary and primary
research method that I learnt will help me in taking up any future research easily. The secondary
research that I undertook helped me I knowing the method of taking up literature research. Thus,
I can use similar research activity in any other research that involves secondary data collection.
On the other hand, the method that I undertook during the primary research such as survey
method will also help me in designing pattern of primary research in the near future. Thus the
process of learning that undertook not only helped me in getting the result about the challenges
of global project management, it also had an long term impact on my future and on my career.
