Therefore it is necessary to perform various activity of project in good way that also helps in
improving the research of the project management plan is going to be mentioned below:

Cost: The cost refers to the value or worth of organising the research in better way. There
is overall cost that is required to complete the research in good way. In context of Airdri, the
researcher building appropriate strategy for exploring company. In order to make appropriate or
proper research it is necessary to have 50,000 pounds to create positive outcomes.
Task to perform Expenditure (Pound)
Examination 5000
Improvement of plan 4000
Assessing research 10000
Wages of investigator 14000
Other expenses 9000
Implementation cost 4000
Total 50000
Scope there is a broader scope of present research that is connected to the equality and

authentic It is considered as a proper research that is use by me for gathering the various data.
The present assignment I have capable to make assessment and also know the various types of
strength as well as weakness that is connected with an individual person. I have been analysed
that appropriate communication skill is necessary for asking various kind of question to the
respondent and also know the response and take the decision as per the level of understanding. I
have also realised that in relation to my communication skill I have also face various issue in
relation to analytical skills so I was capable to collect all necessary information from respondent
but I have faced many kind of difficulty to gather necessary information so I feel that I must
contribute towards analytical skill for making appropriate research in detail manner. There are
different kinds of strategy that is connected with the management of business organisation that is
adopted in appropriate manner. Furthermore there are various strategies adopted by individual
person of business organisation for taking decisions during the particular phase of time period.
