Methodology of the study: Target Population:
The population of my study is one of the private banks of our country that is the Mercantile Bank Limited in Bangladesh.
Sample of the Study:

It is difficult to measure the operational performance of all the banks of Bangladesh within the short time. So I prefer to take the Mercantile Bank Limited as a sample of my study to get an idea of the operational performance of MBL.
Primary Source of Data: 1. Discussion with officials of this bank. 2. Face to face conversation with clients 3. Questionnaire . Secondary Source of Data: 1. www.mblbd.com 2. Annual Reports of MBL. 3. Other published documents of MBL. 4. Newsletter of MBL. 5. Periodic Bulletins published by Bangladesh Bank.
Techniques of Analysis:
After collecting the data, it is necessary to analyze or process the data to get meaningful information. Under this study the collected data are analyzed. To analyze the collected data scrutinized, a person has to require following and applying some techniques. Accordingly, I used some important techniques for analyzing the required data, so that I can get
A RESEARCH PROPOSAL
fruitful result from my study. The techniques that I have applied to prepare the report are as
follows:
1) Processing of data 2) Analyzing of data 1) Processing of data: Processing of data includes four steps: a) Editing b) Coding c) Classification d) Tabulation a) Editing: Editing of data is a process of examining the collected raw data (especially in surveys) to detect errors and omissions and to correct these when possible. Editing is done to assure that the data are accurate, consistent with other facts gathered, uniformly entered, as complete as possible and have been Ill arranged to facilitate coding and tabulation. b) Coding: Coding refers to the process of assigning numerals or other symbols to ansIr so that responses can be put into a limited number of categories or classes. c) Classification: Most research studies result in a large volume of raw data, which must be reduced into homogenous groups if I are to get meaningful result. This fact necessitates classification of data which happens to be the process of arranging data in groups or classes on the basis of common characteristics. d) Tabulation: When a mass of data has been assembled, it becomes necessary for the researcher to arrange the same in some kind of concise and logical order. Tabulation is the process of summarizing raw data and displaying the same in compact form.
2. Analyzing of data: I have used the following tools to analyze the data Tabular representation. Graphic representation through bar diagram
A RESEARCH PROPOSAL
Pie graph Chart etc.
Limitations of the study:

Information in the bank is confidential and critical. The main barrier in preparing this report is data confidentiality. Very limited time is one of the most faced obstacles in preparing this report. Due to time shortage, details of many aspects of the services of MBL have to ignore in this report. Data may be collected through observation and discussion with bank personnel. Statistical analysis of the data has not been done. Thats why the findings are not statistically validated. Sometimes I may fail to get full co-operation from all the associated parties.
Plan of the Study:

In order to complete a job properly one must have a plan. I just want to operate my study properly to have a better conclusion of this study. So I think that I should plan properly because without plan it will be too hard to me to operate and make a conclusion from the study. For that I have to follow a plan to operate the study. My report may contain the following chapters:
Chapter-1: Introduction. Chapter-2: Methodology Chapter-2: Overview of the Mercantile Bank Ltd.
A RESEARCH PROPOSAL
Chapter-3: Areas of overall performance of MBL. Chapter-4: Evaluation of the overall performance. Chapter-5: Suggestions and recommendation. Bibliography. Questionnaire. Appendix.
