The research employs a qualitative approach, utilizing a questionnaire-based survey with a sample size of 50 employees from a media organization. Participants' anonymity and data confidentiality are prioritized through secure handling of both electronic and hard copies, and informed consent is obtained prior to data collection. The study also addresses ethical considerations for internet research, ensuring human participation is acknowledged, data is anonymized where appropriate, and informed consent is obtained. The findings are intended to contribute to a better understanding of communication strategies and their effects within media organizations.

Description and rationale for proposed project (in accessible terms – what is the research
question, how can people benefit, what are potential risks, and how are they mitigated?)
Aim of the project is “To analyse the impact of ineffective communication process on
workflow of a media production company”
Based on the above aim, following research questions have been framed:
 What are the various aspects of effective communication?
 What is the impact of ineffective communication process on work flow of media
production company?
 What are the recommendations on effective communication process that can be given
by a media production company?
It is important that the research conducted by a researcher must be relevant enough and
it is able to serve a specific purpose as well. The scholar does not hold adequate amount of
information regarding impact of ineffective communication on work flow of the organization
and hence developed the interest in stated topic. Hence, the topic holds great importance
academically as well. Further, the research will help in understanding the loopholes of the
research that has already been conducted by other scholars. It will assist in understanding the
concept of effective communication strategies, a step further.
Description of participants (How will participants be selected? What are the
inclusion/exclusion criteria? How many? How will they be identified and recruited?)
The sample size for the present research will be 50. Hence, survey in questionnaire
format will be conducted on 50 employees of media organization.
Description of Methods (What are the procedures used for data collection? What will the
participants be asked to do? Where will the study be conducted? How do you intend to
analyse the data?)
Data will be collected in questionnaire format where they will be required to fill a
questionnaire holding certain questions. The respondents will be the employees of media
organization and analysis will be performed in qualitative format.

What arrangements are to be made to protect participants’ anonymity?
It will be ensured all the information that have been shared by the participants will be kept
confidential. Moreover, the principles related to anonymity will be followed and the
participants will be kept anonymous throughout the study. Hence, researcher will keep
greater degree of privacy on the gathered information from the managers of media company
What arrangements are to be made to ensure that the data you collect is held securely and
confidentially? (both electronic and hard copies)
Both electronic and hard copies which will not be shared with anybody.
What arrangements are to be made to obtain the free and informed consent of the
participants?
Participants in the study may not agree to take part in the research due to privacy issues.
Hence, in that case, prior approval form will be send to the participants taking permission
from them to gather information regarding the subject matter.
