Aims

To prepare a research project that applies managerial concepts and research techniques to a significant technology related organisational issue or problem.

Learning Outcomes

1.
select and apply critical management thinking to a technology related organisational issue or problem, supporting the evaluation with appropriate literature.
2.
develop the research approach and critically evaluate the techniques used to investigate an important management issue or problem.
3.
synthesize information and data to arrive at a coherent conclusion and recommendations.
4.
critically evaluate the strategic implications of the recommendations made.

Module Content

Outline Syllabus:Working in conjunction with the supervisor the student will refine the precise topic for research. Building on the preparatory modules, Managing Business Research 1 and Managing Business Research 2 students will develop their critical skills as a researcher.
Additional Information:The research project builds on previous learning from Managing Business Research 1 and 2 and from appropriate subject specific modules, with the learning outcomes being achieved through a 20,000 word dissertation that applies managerial concepts and research techniques to critically investigate a technology related organisational issue or problem. Whilst the student will primarily operate as an independent learner for this in-depth advanced study, support and guidance will be available from the assigned supervisor.
