...you need to help with the Research Plan in Portfolio item 2. TASK You are required to do a comparative literature review of the following topics (you may need to customise the title to include the domain) Choose one of the following topics on which to do a comparative literature review (word limit 2000 words): * The impact of personality traits of the project leaders in project success * Managing change management * Communication skills and project success * Network security and social networking * The role of effective IT management strategies in organisations * Assessing risks in home and public access wireless networks * Ethics in the design of business applications You may find the Q5 technique useful to map out the structure of each paper before you do the review. The task You will select a topic then find two or more academic papers that address the topic. You are required to write a comparative review of the topic from the perspective of these papers. This may require you to examine several schools of thought, issues, or the positions taken by different sets of authors. You may create a hierarchy of issues and sub-issues to compare and contrast, as suggested by the following general plan (adapted from http://www4.caes.hku.hk/acadgrammar/litrev/section2/part2.htm). You may find it useful to analyse the papers first by using the Q5 technique on each one. Q5 Questions | Suggestions | 1 a Title...

...gov/oswm/recycle/index.htm The Session Long Project (SLP) for this course is the development of a position paper on a topic related to this course. The position paper has to address an issue and you have to take a position on it -- either "for" or "against" the issue. Another way to describe this SLP is that you must take a position and argue either the "pros" or "cons" of the issue. You will find that the most difficult aspect of this assignment is to identify an issue on which a clear position may be taken. An example would be that you are against the use of nuclear power plants to produce energy to meet this country's growing demand. You could also take the position that you believe that it is sound public policy to use nuclear power to meet our energy demands. The point is that you have taken a position on an issue. Once you have identified an issue and have taken a position on it you must argue your position in a position paper. Confused? E-mail me and I'll clarify the SLP. Here's the specific SLP requirements: • The SLP is due at the end of the sixth module (Module Six is a one week module). • The topic selected for a position must be related to one of the topics covered in this course. • Module 1 Requirement -- Submit your position paper topic to me for approval. Be specific. This is to ensure that your position paper topic is actually a worthwhile topic on an issue. • Modules 2 thru 5 should be spent researching and developing your position. • If you have...

Formal requirements All the material turned in at any stage has to be typed. The final paper should be at least 12 pages long (Times New Roman, font size 12, a line-and-a-half spacing, one inch margins).

Social studies research encompasses the fields of history, sociology, political science, religion, psychology, civics and anthropology. Extend previous research in these areas by asking a new question or exploring a social issue. Other People Are Reading  Topics for Qualitative Research  A List of Research Paper Topics  1.Civil Rights ◦The civil rights movement was at its peak in the 1960s, ultimately resulting in laws abolishing discriminatory hiring and education practices.

This can take several forms depending upon your topic: It might be that you take a position on a topic that is hotly debated (e.g. are first person shooter computer games good or bad for pre- teens to be playing?) Or it might mean that you look at a technology development and posit a position using one of Postman’s five dimensions (e.g. Who are the winners and losers when we equip knowledge workers with company provided mobile devices? Or: what are the unanticipated systemic impacts of equipping knowledge workers with company provided mobile devices?
