TOPIC 4 : IMPLICATIONS OF THE RESEARCH WORK
4.1
VIABILITY OF THE RESEARCH WORK
a. Always ask yourself on the feasibility and viability of your findings.
b. If you are unable to fulfil the entire needs of feasibility and/or viability, then think
critically of ways to realize it.
•
For instance, if your findings are not viable to the local scenario, think how they can fit
best at the global level and vice versa.
c. If your findings seem to be irrelevant
today,
then exhibit how it will be significant in
months/years to come.
d. Relate to the state-of-art in other regions of the world, whether sooner or later we have to
adapt to the trend.
e. Prove that in near future what is insignificant today will have definite usage.
4.2
IMPACT OF THE FINDINGS
Demonstrate the impact of your research work to the field itself, industry and the society
a. In what way those sectors benefit from your findings.
Benefits of conducting research are not only increasing personal knowledge but, in a
larger context, contributing to that of industry, humanity, and developing the right human
capital for the society.
b. Able to quantify the benefits?
Quantify those benefits originated from your research work. In a context of viva voce,
those numerals are readily assisting the examiners to evaluate for significance and
implications of the research outputs.
c. Adding value to the current process/product?
Identify in which way your innovation add values to the existing one. Single out those
contributions (add values) as to clearly present to the panels of your very efforts.
ACTIVITIES
1. Demonstrate in which way your findings benefit others, including the related industry and
the society as a whole.
