Subject: Proposal to conduct a research project on Business Communication of Bashundhara
Group
Introduction
Communication problems in the workplace can cost a company’s productivity and wealth.
Without efficient communication, any company will be unable to exchange information essential
to daily operations and to create a communication network to carry new product data.
Communication problems in business typically start from misunderstandings. These often result
in hostility and accusations. Recognizing situations caused by communication issues in the
workplace usually also involves helping employees solve problems without blaming others.

2. Some problems occur from using ineffective communication techniques. Poor listening skills, for
example, can lead to unnecessary conflict.
In Basundhara Group, there are quite a few communication problems and it’s causing employees
to become less productive. A few of them resigned due to these error. We hope to find out the
roots and causes of these problem and to come up with a solution which will help solve these
communication problems so that productivity increases along with increased employee
satisfaction.
ResearchQuestion
On our research of this proposal, we want to make sure these key questions are addressed
properly.
1. What are the major causes of miscommunication in the firm?
2. Does favoritism towards employee causes harm to overall productivity?
3. How the company recruits new employees?
4. is there any discrimination regarding the communication process?
5. is there any distortion on informal network?
Hypothesis
The most possible causes of miscommunication on the firm could be consisting of various
reasons, such misaligned vocabularies, messy thinking, false civility etc. Moreover favoritism
towards employees also cause an overall deficit of productivity, other employees might lose
motivation. Different firms have different ways of recruiting new recruits as employees, they can
face one or several interviews or aptitude tests. In business environment, there might be

3. discrimination in terms of communication, it could be intentional or unintentional. However it
will lead to lesser productivity and reduced employee satisfaction. Informal communication
networks do not follow any set of rules, definite liners or ways. So it can transmit any kind of
information to any person without any respect or fear. It may spread wrong or distorted news
which may sometimes prove harmful even to the employees. So, distortion is the one of most
considerable disadvantages of informal communication.
Organization
Our research paper will be divided into several sections, the most important of which are
Introduction, Organizational overview, Literature review, findings and analysis &
recommendations. Within the sections the organization will be based on our research questions.
Timetable
We hope to complete our primary research by the early March and secondary research by the end
of March. We shall complete the final draft of our research paper by July and submit it by the
specified deadline (the second last day of classes) towards end of this semester.
