BUSINESS RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
1) Effectiveness and usefulness of learning experience
I found that the learning process was very enriching and I learnt about the different
technicalities of the cross cultural management. I was not sure about the functioning of the
global teams but now I am confident about them. I have reviewed all kinds of journals and
publication. This has made me self aware about the process. I have also seen the interviews
of global leaders and have found about the different challenges that they face during the cross
cultural management.
My opinions regarding this learning process has been quite high. I am happy that I have
learnt a lot of things regarding the research proposal. I have also learnt how to do the
literature review and take into account the different viewpoints of the authors. I have become
more confident in doing the research methodology.
I gave immense value to the learning that I derived from this course and assignment. I
have become more aware about the art of making research proposal and how to present
comparative views of the core subject.
2) Usefulness of learning process
The learning process has helped me a lot. This course taught me to be aware of the
different management issues as well as various management principles of the organization.
This course has given me power to know about the different resource allocation as well as
various management styles which are concerned with global team management. I have learnt
about the practical implications of the problems faced by the global teams and that has made
me to ponder over the issue.

BUSINESS RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
This project made me confident about the different aspects of the research. I didn’t know
how to document a research but now I know the same. In the future, if I do a dissertation,
then it would be easier for me. I have become aware of the structure of dissertation and how
to present them.I have become a confident individual after I went through this unit. I know
the prerequisites of completing each section and I have my own viewpoints.
3) Happenings of the learning process
I am happy by the different happenings of the learning process. I have done extensive online
research on different scholarly articles and journals. This has made me check the validity of
statements. I have made different comparisons of the journals and research publications. I
have been exposed to different international journals and have been aware of the
technological advancements in supporting the global teams. I have spoken with managers of
MNC and have found out about the real challenges that are faced by them.
4) Evaluation of learnings
The foundation of the learning process was made on both theoretical as well as practical
knowledge. I have got some of the important exposures regarding the research tools. I have
learnt the art of making time tables and Gantt Chart, which is considered as one of the most
important aspects of research.
5) Explanation of learning process
I have done a detailed literature review on first assignment and learnt how to represent
the viewpoints of multiple authors. The comparative analysis helped me to understand the
major ways of presenting contrasting views of different authors.

In the second assignment, I learnt the art of making gap analysis and found research gaps.
I found that there are various gaps in the literature which was done for earlier part of
assignment. I did not have any idea of sampling but after going through this unit, I have
learnt the aspect of stratified random sampling. I have understood the fact that the research
methodology is an important section of research and hence I have enriched my knowledge in
this section. I have understood the data analysis methods and how the data are collected from
the individuals.
6) Application of this learning
The learning would be applicable to my future profession. I was not aware of the
different challenges faced by the cross cultural team and hence I was not aware of their
challenges too. I became confident about how to write a research proposal and I found out
various ways of collecting data for research. The learning would be applied in my future
professional area where I would be able to manage my own team. This would be helpful
when I would be employed in a MNC.
