Aims
To prepare a research project that applies managerial concepts and research techniques to a technology related organisational issue or problem.
Learning Outcomes
1.
Engage in critical reasoning to provide a convincing justification of the importance of the research topic.
2.
Select, synthesise and critically evaluate a wide range of literature relevant to the issue under investigation.
3.
Systematically collect and analyse appropriate data to answer a 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 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.
