Abstract

This report contains an in-depth analysis of the testing industry's diverse landscape with a focus on the activities and learnings from Intertek Bangladesh's Business Insights Department. This research explores several facets of the testing business during a three-month internship from January 22, 2023, to April 20, 2023, offering insightful findings and useful experiences. This report's main goal is to give readers a comprehensive overview of the dynamic testing sector, particularly as seen through Intertek Bangladesh's perspective. The focus is the Business Insights Department, which provides a thorough examination of the division's function, pursuits, and contributions within the wider corporation. The study starts out by describing the wide variety of quality assurance services offered by Intertek and highlighting the organization's commitment to providing excellence. The development of Intertek as a leader in the industry globally over time may be seen from a historical perspective. The report devotes an important portion to detailing the intern's real-world experiences inside the Business Insights Department. The duties performed, such as building databases, entering test results, and disseminating reports, increase our comprehension of how theoretical information is applied in practice. This report also provides a thorough explanation of Bangladesh's Ready-Made Garments (RMG) industry, which is focused on export and import. This research demonstrates how business concepts may be applied to a real-world industry setting, illuminating the complex interactions between theory and practice. This study uses both primary and secondary sources, according to its methodology. The key sources are the intern's direct encounters with clients, practical desk work, and database creation. Intertek's annual reports, official website, publications, involvement in industry-related activities, and seminars are all secondary sources. It's important to recognize the constraints imposed by the study method, though. The study's breadth has been impacted by issues such as the lack of current market data, knowledge of rivals, and a need to balance local and global viewpoints. The context bounds of this report are also influenced by time and confidentiality restrictions. This report provides a comprehensive view of the testing sector, informed by the knowledge and expertise of Intertek Bangladesh's Business Insights Department. It emphasizes how important practical experience is in bridging the knowledge gap between theory and actual applications, eventually resulting in a more nuanced view of the testing industry landscape.
