The instructions below will provide you guidance

 

Research Proposal Title: The tile is to create interest and reflect seriousness and relevance. Avoid vague and sweeping phrases covering broad areas of subjects. Endeavour to be clear, specific and precise. Remember that a title, brief as it may be, needs to be faithful to the contents of the research.

Abstract: This is a brief statement of what you are intending to research. It should be no more than 1-2 paragraphs. This needs to describe the proposal content. Think of this as an executive summary.

Introduction: You need to define the problem. Evidence of analytical thinking, argument analysis, theory application, and data management analysis is required as part of research. Remember to emphasis:

  • Relevance of the Proposed Research to Business Research
  • Place the proposed study in context
  • Justification of the chosen topic
  • Value of this research

 

Research question and objectives: This is to form the heart of the research proposal, creating interest and raising queries while serving to discipline and monitor thinking. Good research questions should be clear, specific, and answerable. The reach objective will comprise a general statement on the purpose, intention, or desire outcome of your research project, using words or combination of words like “this research aims to study/examine/explore/identify/verify/ test etc”.

Please remember:

  • There must be 3 research questions and objectives
  • The research questions and objectives are linked to your Literature review.

 

Literature review: This is designed to situate your research project in a scholarly tradition, acknowledge the contributions made by other scholars and/or practitioners while highlighting the innovative approach of your project, which is expected to shed a new light on the subject or fill a gap in the available literature on it. A critical survey (or critique) of the literature in the research area will also help you define or single out a major work, theory or school of thought you could use or build.

Research method(s) used: This is to inform the reader how you intend to proceed regarding data (based on what you need, where the data are located, how to get them, what to do with them). The two main methodologies in this connection are Qualitative and Quantitative.

Your method consists of two parts:

(1) Research design – relates to the research onion (philosophies, approaches, strategies, choices, time horizon). You are expected to make strong justifications in support of your chosen research design.
