Assignment title: Information
An alien object landed on earth about 12 months ago. Since then millions of humans have died from a new virus. Studies have shown that the virus was released from the alien object. At the current rate of deaths, it looks like the human population will be wiped out within the next 12 months. Company XYZ has developed a vaccine to combat the virus. They have undertaken successful preliminary clinical tests on animals. However, the vaccine has not yet been tested on humans because there is not enough time. Company XYZ plans to try the vaccine out on a very large population of human subjects before distributing it to all humans on earth. Company XYZ needs to locate the most appropriate test population. They have decided to tender a contract for a research company to get their answer and as luck would have it you have just started your own research company.You are to write a bid to conduct a program of research to find the best test population. In your bid you need to outline the research design you would recommend and what data collection and statistical tests, if any, should be used to answer the question. You must defend your recommendations with appropriate theory. When research companies bid for work in these cases they expect their proposals to be compared to other organizations. You need to therefore consider this in the way you present the information in your proposal, in the language you use and in ensuring that all recommendations are well supported and defended. You are only designing a piece of research to show how you would go about locating the appropriate population. You are not expected to actually do the research yourself or nominate a population. However, if your proposal is successful you will have access to unlimited resources to carry out the researchFour areas that you need to focus on are:(1) You need to decide on qualitative, quantitative or mixed method methodology. You also need to justify that decision with theory.(2) You need to ensure that the research will be ethical (Draw on theories from either consequentialism or non-consequentialism – not both)(3) You need to consider issues related to CSR(4) You need to consider sample units, data, validity and reliability.
