...Writing a Research Proposal The Proposal A research proposal is the presentation of an idea that you wish to pursue. A good research proposal presumes that you have already thought about your project and have devoted some time and effort in gathering information, reading, and then organizing your thoughts. A research proposal is NOT a project to be thrown together in one night with ideas off the top of your head. Thus, one might say that the research proposal is a second step, following the selection of a broad topic. The actual proposal will indicate what analytical question you wish to address. The foundation of a good research paper is a good research question. Just a tree needs a good root system to grow to be strong, a good research paper needs a good analytical question. What does "analytical" mean? An analytical question can take different forms and no one form is necessarily better than others. What all analytical questions have in common is the fact that they are not merely descriptive. That is, an analytical question moves beyond the "what" and explores the "how," and the "why." A good analytical research paper will use "the what" as part of the answer to "the why." But it is obligatory to address a question beyond the "what." For example, a descriptive paper would ask: "What was Gorbachev's economic perestroika policies?" An analytical paper would ask: "Why did Gorbachev's economic perestroika policies fail?" As part of the paper, you would then review what the...

...Assignment Guide Lines on Research Methods for Management PROPOSAL ASSIGNMENT Course code: MGMT 362 Instructor: Abera D. Proposal Outline Each group needs to prepare a paper of at least 15 pages and not more than 20 pages on any of the business areas. It is the duty of the group to add some relevant sub-topics to be included in the report. In fact, your instructor believes that an exemplary group will have gone through various literatures by the time it needs to distinguish the relevant sub-topics from the irrelevant ones, and will be better informed of the essential sub-topics to be addressed. Hence, the evaluation includes, among other things, assessment of the extent to which issues presented in the report neatly fit with the major topic. Moreover, the group shall identify a real organization and report about the practice of the organization with respect to the research topic given in the proposal topic’’ The structure of a research proposal’’ as hereunder sub-topic 2. RESEARCH PROPOSAL 1. Introduction Research proposals are important in research. They serve many different functions. The most important function is to make explicit a reasoned argument about the need for the proposed study on practical and theoretical grounds and how it will be carried out. Other functions include: ▪ To convince other people, like other researchers, research funding agencies, educational institutions, and supervisors that your research is worth spending...

...Unit 1 Individual Project MGT600 – Business Research for Decision Making April 7, 2013 Abstract Functional companies in today growing economy use Formal Research and Business Proposals to effectively conduct business. Both methods are clearly different in meaning and purpose, however the two are intertwined. Formal research and Business Proposals both have applications and values in a business setting that will be discussed in this research paper. The theoretical framework and the research design relating to collaborative technology in virtual globalization will be discussed. (Sekaran & Bougie, 2010). Part 1 “Formal Research” versus “Business Proposal” Introduction In Part one of this research paper I will be discussing the theoretical and practical differences between “formal research” and “business proposals”. In researching the two methods I will present how they impact the business industry, it is vital that business professionals comprehend the distinction between them. Management teams will benefit from research and proposals if they are conducted and implemented properly. Part 1. Marketing Manager and Researchers in a company have complex task in developing formal research projects and business proposals. Formal Research is a structured research style that allows business researchers in a company to present information in a scientific manner. Teams who conduct formal research must use a systematic professional process of collecting and analyzing...

...easier. (This Guide is a companion to the Guide for Writing a Funding Proposal.) Usually a guide of this nature focuses on the actual implementation of the research. This is not the focus of this guide. Instead of examining such aspects as identifying appropriate sample size, field testing the instrument and selecting appropriate statistical tests, this guide looks at many of the quasi-political aspects of the process. Such topics as how to select a supportive committee, making a compelling presentation of your research outcomes and strategies for actually getting the paper written are discussed. Of course, many of the ideas that are presented can be used successfully by other graduate students studying under the guidance of other advisers and from many different disciplines. However, the use of this guide carries no guarantee - implied or otherwise. When in doubt check with your adviser. Probably the best advice to start with is the idea of not trying to do your research entirely by yourself. Do it in conjunction with your adviser. Seek out his/her input and assistance. Stay in touch with your adviser so that both of you know what's happening. There's a much better chance of getting to the end of your project and with a smile on your face. With this in mind, enjoy the guide. I hope it will help you finish your graduate degree in good shape. Good luck and good researching!

...Ads by Google This hub discusses some of the common elements in a research proposal. Whether you are doing quantitative or qualitative research, it is important that you outline the reasons why you propose doing the study and what process or procedures you will follow to complete the proposed study. Some of the important parts of a good quantitative or qualitative research proposal include: 1. Determining the general topic; 2. Performing a Literature review on the topic; 3. Identifying a gap in the literature; 4. Identifying a problem highlighted by the gap in the literature and framing a purpose for the study; 5. Writing an Introduction to the study; 6. Framing research hypotheses and or research questions to investigate or guide the study; 7. Determine the method of investigation 8. Outline the research design 9. Define the Sample size and the characteristics of the proposed sample; 10. Describe the procedures to follow for data collection and data analyses. Determine a General Topic The first step in writing an academic research proposal is to idenitfy a general topic or subject area to investigate. Usually this first point is the easiest because the research proposal will be tied to the overall theme of a course. In such a case, the the general subject for investigation is normally determined by a professor who is leading the class, the school's department chair, or academic advisory committee.

...To: From: Topic: A memo about the Roles Played by Group-X Members during Proposal writing Group-X is a team that was formed to research and write a proposal about a specific topic of their interest. The group held a number of meetings and after brainstorming, it agreed to research and write a proposal on the Wi-Fi connections. Initially, the group comprised of 6 members but it later added a new member each was assigned specific roles to accomplish as his partial fulfillment towards the final project. However, there were some tasks that were accomplished by all members or part of the group. To be specific, the group agreed to research about the Wi-Fi connection in the New York City College of Technology. In order to monitor the progress of each member, the group held a number of meetings in which it discussed the progress that is being made. The meeting also gave the group a chance to discuss any emerging issue that required the attention of the group. For instance, the members had to discuss the specific time when certain work should be accomplished and the any other task that need to be done as a team. The group carried out a series of tasks which enabled it to prepare the proposal which was the main goal. First, the group explored various options to focus on and members agreed on Wi-Fi connection issues. The members also agreed to use to use emails and WhatsApp to communicate with each other if need arises since they only met once a week. In the next step the...

...care products. I have requested, my two marketing directors, who are in charge of either the consumer market or the commercial market, review the various primary and secondary market research available for their respective markets because I am tasked with doubling sales in both the consumer and commercial markets within the next year. Joshua Edwards, Marketing Director consumer product presented the consumer product proposal, suggesting growing the market methods are as follow: First of his idea is developing the new product line, which is more effective, more expensive, and also manufacture our container packaging from recycled plastics, which costs less and complements. I disagree with this plan because I look at the research that Edward Matthews, ES Associates: Marketing Research Consultant, reported to me, the demand of customer is conflict with the new line product due to the first priority customer looking for is the price. The company has to pay attention to the to factors influencing consumer behavior and try to make them satisfy. “Successful marketing requires that companies fully connect with their consumers” (Kotler, 2009). For the idea that the company should change packaging from recycled plastics to cut some cost, I think it’s a good idea since the company will make more profit and the new looks will catch attention from customer. Second idea is developing a private label of this new line that will be offered for sale by Walmart and K-Mart. I looks at Joshua...
