Develop a brief research proposal. The research proposal should come from some dilemma you see in your daily life. As this is a “business” management course, try to develop a proposal based on a management dilemma. If, for example, you work in quality control on a banana plantation; you could use a banana quality dilemma as the basis of your proposal. Your proposal could be an examination of the quality of the bananas produced on the plantation. Use the structure illustrated below. The proposal will be evaluated using, in part, your use of the methodologies described in the text. Try to use a management dilemma that you have observed in your daily life.
Describe the Decision Rule that will confirm, deny or prove your hypothesis or proposition
From the example above, if the bananas from last year are significantly better (greater than 35%) than this year’s bananas then the hypothesis is true. Banana quality is falling. If the bananas are the same or worse, then the hypothesis is false.
