Aims
To prepare a research project that applies managerial concepts and research techniques to an organisational issue or problem.
Learning Outcomes
1.
Engage in critical reasoning to provide a convincing justification of the importance and uniqueness of the research topic.
2.
Select, synthesise and critically evaluate a range of literature relevant to the issue
under investigation.
3.
Systematically collect and analyse appropriate data to answer a specific and unique research question or questions.
4.
Utilise critical and system thinking to draw logical conclusions from, and discuss realistic implications and limitations of research findings.
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.
Workshops and online tutorials include:
organising a project
the ethical approval process
working with a supervisor
writing a critical literature review
collecting and analysing qualitative and quantitative data
writing a discussion and conclusion
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 16,000 word dissertation that applies managerial concepts and research techniques to critically investigate an 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, online materials and scheduled workshops.
