This module will help you to prepare a research project that applies managerial concepts and research techniques to a significant organisational issue or problem. It will help you to carry out an independent, in-depth research project.
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.
