The purpose of the assignment is to convince the listener that you have identified a management problem or issue which it is important to investigate – and that you have already made a start on that investigation, by;
- Really trying to hone in on what it is you want to find out
- Considering relevant academic sources and
- Exploring possible options for primary research.
Your research proposal must include the following elements:
–Title – derives from the aim of your research and contains key concepts
–Rationale – explain why you have chosen this topic and briefly summarise the existing literature on the topic
–Aim of your research-In one sentence explain what you intend to find out. (ideally you will have one aim only)
–Objectives of your research –Objectives should have a strong logical connection with the aim and they should point to the data you need.
–Methodology
Approach-explain what approach to research you intend to use and why (making reference to research methods manuals)
–Design -explain what design you intend to use and why (making reference to research methods manuals)
–Methods-explain what method(s) of research you intend to use and why. (making reference to research methods manuals)
–Participants-explain who your participants will be the sampling method (sample size and the size of the population). For qualitative research explain what criteria you will be using to select your participants.
–Validity and reliability-explain what measures you will be taking to enhance the validity and reliability of your research. (If a qualitative approach is employed you need to explain what measures you will be taking to ensure the credibility and trustworthiness of your research including a short explanation on reflexivity.
–Ethical considerations-explain what ethical issues you might have to tackle.
–Data analysis-explain briefly how you intend to analyse your data.
References-List using Harvard standard the sources used to support your proposal.
