Then you may specify that entry level marketing positions are out of the scope.

2. Beneficiaries : Your project will be useful to which institutions, companies is to be specified

3. Deliverable: Final output of your project

4. Data Analysis & Findings:

In the analysis section, you describe what you did with your data. If it is a quantitative paper,

SWOT (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats) analysis.

In the findings section, sometimes called results, you report what the analysis revealed, but
