    BUSINESS RESEARCH METHODS ASSIGNMENT

    Scenario

    There is no scenario for this assignment. Instead, you must propose an independent,
    small-scale research proposal about an area of interest to you within a business
    context. Ideally, the research proposal should deal with an opportunity or a problem
    at the organisation where you are currently employed. You should select a
    manageable area within a subject area related to your business studies. (E.g.
    Finance, HR, Project Management, CSR, etc.)

    Task 1 of 1 – Research Project Proposal (All LOs)

    Instructions

    In this task, you need to produce a research project proposal in which you will
    include the following:

    1. Introduction
    o Choose a research area and introduce the business problem or
    opportunity within that area with supporting data and trends.
    o Clearly explain the background to the business problem or opportunity,
    and justify the reasons for, and the value of, the research to your
    employer and the wider academic community.
    o Specify the research question and outline the research study aims and
    objectives.
    2. Literature Review
    o Critically review key literature and recent academic publications around
    the subject area discussing key definitions, current theoretical
    frameworks, and research carried out in similar business areas.
    o Develop a conceptual/theoretical framework for the research from the
    literature review explaining how and why it supports and informs your
    research approach.
    3. Research Methodology
    o Explain and justify your research approach and strategy.
    o Data collection:
    o Discuss different data collection methods with complimenting
    appropriate research strategies and select a data collection method,
    based on your research approach/strategy.
    o Design the data collection instrument and justify the selected
    instrument. Individually include the instrument as an appendix.
    o Population and Sampling: Define the research population, sampling
    strategy, sample size and justify how the sampling strategy will be the
    best representation of the population.
