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 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, online materials and scheduled workshops.
