1. BRIEF
1.1 About You
You are employed by the GMSA as independent construction procurement professional for this project.
1.2 Background
The Greater Manchester Strategic Alliance (GMSA) is a partnership of universities, colleges, work based learning providers and other stakeholders who collectively deliver a Lifelong Learning Network (LLN) and promotes the progression of vocational learners into Higher Education. GMSA have identified within their strategic plan for 2014 - 2019, the opportunities presented by recent government commitment to fund a significant increase in the delivery of Higher Apprenticeships. As a result, GMSA are consulting on the viability of a new "Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre" situated alongside the M62 Corridor in Greater Manchester. The centre will draw on the specialist skills of both the four Greater Manchester universities together with a series of local colleges
1
including those in Rochdale, Oldham and Bury together with leading business organisations located in the Greater Manchester area.
Important features of the development to note:
10 storey, 30,000m
2
main building including 3 250 seat lecture theatres,
30 seminar rooms, a central catering facility, Coffee shop styled area,
office accommodation and student support areas.
2 storey, 5.000m
2
‘advanced engineering’ centre, providing specialist
engineering laboratory and workshop facilities.
4 Storey, 8,000m
2
central learning centre, providing student services
including open access rooms, silent study areas, group study rooms and a
library facility
External works including infrastructure development.
The Client requires the building to be carbon neutral. In addition, to illustrate both aspirations of both Central Government and the GMSA the facility should make a clear architectural statement and must be constructed to the highest aesthetic and qualitative standards. Value for money given the current economic climate is also a key consideration.
The budget to cover the total development cost, inclusive of construction works, external works, statutory and professional fees is estimated to be £71 million. The completion date is critical, as the building requires handover by August 2017 at the very latest, to accommodate the new academic year.
Title to the land is currently under negotiation. As the scheme forms part of the
‘Northern Power House’
vision, public funding (provided by the Department of Education) has been approved. Who will operate the facility on completion is yet to be decided.

1. BRIEF
1.1 About You
You are employed by the GMSA as independent construction procurement professional for this project.
1.2 Background
The Greater Manchester Strategic Alliance (GMSA) is a partnership of universities, colleges, work based learning providers and other stakeholders who collectively deliver a Lifelong Learning Network (LLN) and promotes the progression of vocational learners into Higher Education. GMSA have identified within their strategic plan for 2014 - 2019, the opportunities presented by recent government commitment to fund a significant increase in the delivery of Higher Apprenticeships. As a result, GMSA are consulting on the viability of a new "Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre" situated alongside the M62 Corridor in Greater Manchester. The centre will draw on the specialist skills of both the four Greater Manchester universities together with a series of local colleges
1
including those in Rochdale, Oldham and Bury together with leading business organisations located in the Greater Manchester area.
Important features of the development to note:
10 storey, 30,000m
2
main building including 3 250 seat lecture theatres,
30 seminar rooms, a central catering facility, Coffee shop styled area,
office accommodation and student support areas.
2 storey, 5.000m
2
‘advanced engineering’ centre, providing specialist
engineering laboratory and workshop facilities.
4 Storey, 8,000m
2
central learning centre, providing student services
including open access rooms, silent study areas, group study rooms and a
library facility
External works including infrastructure development.
The Client requires the building to be carbon neutral. In addition, to illustrate both aspirations of both Central Government and the GMSA the facility should make a clear architectural statement and must be constructed to the highest aesthetic and qualitative standards. Value for money given the current economic climate is also a key consideration.
The budget to cover the total development cost, inclusive of construction works, external works, statutory and professional fees is estimated to be £71 million. The completion date is critical, as the building requires handover by August 2017 at the very latest, to accommodate the new academic year.
Title to the land is currently under negotiation. As the scheme forms part of the
‘Northern Power House’
vision, public funding (provided by the Department of Education) has been approved. Who will operate the facility on completion is yet to be decided.

Dear Student,
You are aware that the students of MBA PPM (P95) are required to submit a Project Report in the second
year. The project work carrying 200 marks is a very important constituent of the MBA PPM Programme.
In order to select a topic for project work and complete it in the stipulated period of time, one has to start from
the second year and plan systematically the activities leading to completion of project work. Although we have
provided you a tentative list of topics/broad areas for project work, one can select any topic of interest and do a
project on that topic. However, for proper understanding of the problem taken up and following a systematic
research process, it is necessary to have proper guidance. I would, therefore, like to request you to consult your
guide about the topic that you want to take up for research.
Once your topic is finalised, you are required to submit the synopsis of your project giving an idea of your
hypotheses, objectives and research methodology.
The synopsis should be prepared very carefully and it should give a complete idea of your proposed
work. Many project synopses are rejected on the grounds that the objectives, hypotheses or research methodology
are not clear. You are therefore requested to prepare your project synopsis properly in consultation with your guide.
I am enclosing herewith guidelines which will help you in preparing the synopsis and other formalities that
have to be completed at the time of submission of the synopsis. Please go through the guidelines carefully before
submission of your synopsis.
You are requested to submit your synopsis before 30th
December 2013 and submit
your project report before 16th
April 2014
If you face any problem in this regard, please do write to me.
Thanking you.
Yours truly,
Pandit Palande

Detailed Guidelines
Preparation of Project Proposal (Synopsis)
Selection of the Topic
This is the most important area where majority of the students get confused and have number of doubts.
Therefore it is advised that the student should discuss the topic with the concerned subject coordinator of
the study centre. The coordinator after having necessary sittings with student should suggest name of
project supervisor pertaining to the area. Here it is essential that student and supervisor's area of interest
should match to enable to work effectively and faster. While selecting the topic following points should
be considered.
1. The topic should be relevant and contemporary
2. It should based on real issues
3. Availability of data should be taken into account
4. Time available at hand should be considered
5. It should not be imaginary or unreal
6. It should cover broader area of effect
7. It must be specific
8. It may be interdisciplinary
9. Applicability of it should also be considered
The synopsis of a project should be prepared in consultation with the 'project supervisor' and sent through
study centre to The Director, School of Commerce & Management. Following are some of the guidelines
to prepare the synopsis/ project proposal.
1. The project should have a clear title
2. A concise introduction of the subject should be given.
3. Importance and significance of the subject should be highlighted.
4. Objectives of the study should be clearly mentioned.
5. Hypotheses to be tested should be properly sited.
6. Research methodology of the proposed project to be undertaken should be well described.
7. Expected contribution of the proposed project should be well defined.
8. Chapterisation should be given in the synopsis.
10. 9
Let us discuss the expected contents under each head here.
1. Defining Research Problem: The researcher should discuss the subject of research project with his
supervisor before deciding the research problem and the title of the project. The research process
begins with selecting and defining a research problem properly. It is essential here that researcher
himself is clear about the problem that prevails somewhere in some organization. He must have
sensed the symptoms of the problem. He himself must be aware that it exist and is a cause of
dislocation of work or causing some unrest in the organization. “Research problem, in general,
refers to some difficulty which a researcher experiences in the context of either a theoretical or
practical situation and wants to obtain a solution for the same”. The research problem exists where:
[a] Organization or individual are living in an environment which is uncontrollable
&
[b] Where there are more than two alternative solutions or courses of action &
[c] There is more than one outcome
&
[d] Each alternative offers different outcome. That means the comparison, evaluation and analysis
is possible.
The research problem must be reflected in project title. And project title should not contain any
ambiguous theme. Even by reading the title of the project one having reasonable knowledge of the subject
should be in position to make out the theme of the project. The title of the project should not be too short
(which express the very wide area of knowledge) or too long (which covers every minute detail of the
theme). Title should be -
1. Short but full
2. Concise and clear
3. Express the subject
4. Focus the core area of the research undertaken
5. Contain the period if specific
6. If necessary reveal the name of the firm.
2. Introduction: In introduction researcher is expected to give brief view of the subject. The focus
here should be to create awareness about the subject in the mind of the reader. If Researcher is
covering different dimensions of the subject all that must be explained briefly. The intention must be
to give an overview of the subject. By going through it the reader must get an understanding that
researcher is having sufficient theoretical knowledge of the subject and can explore something in
depth. He should be introduced to the problem and the subject researcher intends to deal with. Here
the researcher should start with wider perspective of the subject and should take the reader to the
specific problem. The problem or issue should be explained/ introduced in brief.
11. 10
3. Significance and Importance of the Study: Researcher has to explain the importance of the
subject here. Why in his opinion the subject is important is to be explained in brief. Importance of
every subject is different, and it is always based on the place, location, firm, kind of firm, product
etc. All these aspects are to be covered under this head. For example;
If researcher wants to deal with the subject working capital, then he must explain the concept of
working capital by quoting one or two definitions. Further he should explain how the efficient
utilization of working capital is important for the said industry. And then he should discuss the
important dimension of the subject in brief.
If researcher wants to deal with the subject Absenteeism, then he should explain the concept of
absenteeism first and then why it is to be addressed in case of a particular industry.
Significance of the subject changes with time. For example, Voluntary Retirement Schemes had
significance 10 years ago. Now it has lost that relevance as the firms have already shaped
themselves rightly and employees have also prepared themselves for such situations. Same is the
case with all cost cutting programs or devices. So how the subject is significant in current situation
is to be explained here. A peculiar dimension to the subject makes it significant, and that issue is to
be dealt under this head. Significance of absenteeism is different from area to area unit to unit and
industry to industry. Researcher should cover this aspect under this head. Researcher can give
importance and significance of the subject in numerical form of sequence.
4. Objectives of the study: Here objectives of the study undertaken are to be stated. At this level five
to seven objectives are more than enough. Objectives are the answer to the question 'what aspects
researcher wants to know by doing this project'? Objectives must address the various issues he is
going to deal with in the said project.
For Example:
Project title: A Study of Occupational Stress Levels among medical practitioners having own
nursing homes in Nashik
Framed Objectives:
1. To study the gender difference for stress levels
2. To study the stress levels in male doctors
3. To study the stress levels in female doctors
4. To study how they cope up with this stress.
5. Hypotheses:
Hypothesis is a principle instrument of research. It is main assumption made to study the subject. It
can be defined as, “assumption or some supposition to be proved or disproved”. Hypothesis
must encompass all the objectives of the study. The researcher through his project work attempts to
verify or test the hypothesis. Thus it serves as a compass for the researcher. It can be called as a
probability statement pertaining to some issue. The verification and testing of which is the purpose
of the project. The researcher must formulate one or two sentences of assumptions as hypothesis
which covers all the objectives of the study. So, hypotheses must be
a. Clear and precise
b. Capable of being tested
c. Limited in scope and must be specific
12. 11
d. Expressed in most simple way
e. Must be consistent with known facts
f. Amenable to testing within limited time
g. Must be stating relationship between variables.
There is a backward linking between hypothesis and objectives. Hypothesis as sentence of
assumption must cover or deal with all the objectives of the study. There is forwarding linking
between hypothesis and chapterisation. The issues of various aspects raised by hypothesis must find
place in chapterisation. In chapterisation there must be a chapter or heading with the sentence of
assumption. Hypothesis can be positive or negative. So we can say that hypothesis states what
researcher looks for and it is proposition which can be tested to determine its validity.
Few examples of Hypothesis:
1. Absenteeism in ABC Company limited is the indication of low morale and poor management
initiative.
2. ABC company limited has improved its financial position during past 3 years, i.e. from
2007 to 2010.
3. ABC company has improved its market standing through its service in Nagpur city.
4. Present Management Information system in ABC Insurance Ltd. is adequate and enables
the top management in its decision making.
5. ABC banks consumers are happy with the quality of the services rendered.
6. ABC company's employee’s initiative has significantly reduced attrition rate.
6. Research Methodology: Under this head researcher is expected to disclose the way he is going to
carry out the research. Here he should mention about
a. Sample
b. Sources of data collection
c. Tools of data collection
d. Method of processing the data collected
Sample: It is assumed that the researcher will explain how he has determined sample design or
sample size. He must give logical explanation for sample size/design he chooses. In short there
should be some plan for collection of data the research work needs, how it will be obtained and why
this sample size is taken.
Further the researcher should give details about the sample selected and sample size. He is expected
to give justification for the chosen sample. The sample size should be significant. He should try to
reach to maximum respondents. Another aspect which he should deal with is the method used for
sample designs. The sample designs are -
1. Deliberate sampling
2. Simple random sampling
3. Systematic sampling
4. Stratified sampling
5. Quota sampling
6. Cluster sampling and area sampling
13. 12
7. Multi-stage sampling
8. Sequential sampling
Appropriate method of sampling is to be followed for the research/ project work.
It is not possible to quote examples of all these methods, so for the sake of understanding a brief
example is given.

The insurance industry in India has seen an array of changes in the past one decade. The decade saw an
up rise in the Indian insurance sector as major structural changes took place during this time. The
government monopoly is ended. Insurance Regulatory and development Authority (IRDA) Bill is passed
to allow entry for private players further allowing foreign players with some restrictions. With rapidly
changing policies to open up this segment of the economy changing and growing needs and demands of
the people have made the insurance industry more competitive. It is resulted in introduction of number of
new products by Public and Private Players from this sector. Now the choice in terms of products and
terms for investor is greater. They are also making valuable efforts to create awareness about the benefits
and significance of insurance. Though there is ample scope to penetrate in untapped markets existing in
rural India, there is still psychological blocking among the people.
