Assessment Task: Draft of background and problem definition of research proposal
Goal: This task allows you to get feedback on the critical first stage of your research proposal development to ensure Task 2, the full proposal, is soundly based. Product:
Draft of Background and Problem Definition of Research Proposal. Format: Select a business research problem or opportunity for investigation.
This may come from your employment situation, a friend or relative's business, or your own business.
The business problem or opportunity must require a substantial amount of research that includes the collection of both primary and secondary data to assist management in making a decision.
Your proposal should be for an applied business problem (so for a specific company or organisation) and not for general basic research into a general topic.
Prepare a draft of the Background and Problem Definition stage of the Research Proposal to be completed on the template provided in the Assessment area of Blackboard. This assessment is designed to give feedback that should then be incorporated into Task 2.
Please refer to the detailed guidelines for Assessment Task 2 to assist you with this task.
