The main focus of the research is on the critical review of the skills I developed in BKEY401 course last year and its relation with “self learning about the changing concepts and behavior of employment”. The research also analyzes many aspects of motivation, and the qualities that a talented manager should have, and tries to gauge its effect on overall learning experience that I had in my internship.
