+1 862 207 3288 I also need a 2 page separate document from the project explaining what theory has been used in paragraph; what each paragraph talks about e.g the purpose of it- what it specifies ñ (brief outline of each paragraph; what point is being made)
Content of project
a) Project title: Annual Computer Budgeting Project
b) Outline of problem or issue within your placement organisation/company:
I am currently on a work placement at Aston University within the LHS Department; working as a business administrator. The problem within the LHS Department at Aston University is that the there is no annual budget for computer equipment (talk about problems of not setting a budget- give statistics and theories to back up argument)
Also talk about advantage about setting a budget; give theories and stats to prove point being made
Some computers which have been recently been purchased by staff may not have been recorded; giving a false indication of how many computer upgrades are required and could be re-purchased by mistake. (talk about problems relating to this ñ money problems etcÖ)
Computers within the LHS department are bought on a 5 years renewal basis.
Along with the department head of the LHS department I will conduct a survey using questionnaires and interviews designed to gather all the necessary information to determine how many computer upgrades are requires and when new computers need ordering.
Once all the information has been gathered this will be recorded on to a spreadsheet format and will be used to check if the department is within the planned budget to give a clear indication if the planned budget is excessively high and therefore could be reduced.
Interviews and questionnaires will also be carried out; asking the end user if a 5 years renewal cycle needs to be reduced or not- this will determine the LHS department is using the correct renewal policy and if it could be altered to suit the users needs.
Talk about different types of budget e.g zero budget etcÖ also recommend what type of budget method would be appropriate and why give advantages and statistics to prove point along with theory
c) List the academic theories and/or techniques you plan to utilise in your project:
Below are the academic theories I will be using:
(Below are examples of theories that can be used- please more if relevant )- and explain the theories in details and apply them and also use statistics along with theory
SWOT
PESTLE
Maslowís Hierarchy of Need
McClelland theory
Vroom expectancy theory
1. Project Methodology:
a) Questionnaire Survey (75% Percent of staff within the LHS department agreed that the the renewal cycle should be reduced to 3 years ) ñ Give reasons as to why it should reduce [research benefits of budget increase that help motivate staff] ñ new computer equipment is more efficient and increases productivity therefore may need less staff- reduce cost on hiring more employees
d) Other primary research ñ Carry out research how a budget increase motivates staff; increases their work out put use academic theories e.g motivational theories and statistics to back up point
I will use questionnaires and interviews to record accurately how many computer upgrades are required; this will eliminate the chances of computers being re-purchased again. (after receiving feedback from questionaires I found out £30,000) worth of equipment is needed to be purchased and will add another £8000 to next years budget so we donít under budget) ñ so next years total budget is £38,000
I will also use questionnaires and interviews to determine if a 5 years renewal cycle is too long for an end user and if it could be reduced; if so why.
This will give me a clear indication that the renewal policy may need to change as it is affecting the end user who may not be able to carry out their job efficiently; thus reducing their work output- demotivating them.
I will use secondary research; looking at journals and articles to determine if new computers have an impact on the end user; deciding if they are motivated them more psychologically- meeting their needs and how it could improve their daily output.
Once all the information has been gathered from the questionnaires and I will use this information to determine next yearís annual budget ñ (next years annual budget should be £38,000
