The Learning Business Research Proposal LB5235: Practical or Research Project 1. Introduction 1.1 In this section you should in write in your own words a brief description of the researchtopic that you are going to investigate. Information can include but not limited to: What is your research topic? Why do you want to study this topic (its importance and significance). How are you going to investigate the topic (briefly mention quantitative or qualitative research design). You should use references/reports/statstistics to support your statements. 1.2. Clearly state your purpose of study/or research questions you want to answer in this study. You should have at least 3 research questions. You need to clearly list them. This section should be approximately one page in length.   2. Literature Review In this section you should do a thorough search of literature and summarize what is already known about your research topic, what is not known and what needed to be done, etc. You should define all relevant concepts, what is it? How many dimensions/layers each concept include; You should describe relationships of concepts that appear in your study. How each concept related to each other? Discuss relevant theories that can serve as background of your study. You should use a lot of references (use APA 6th edition for in-text citations and the reference list) to support your writing. You can use numbered headings and divide your literature review into different sections. The part should be at least 3 pages (double-space) in length.   3. Research Design In this section you should give details of your research design and how well it fits your research questions and why you think this is the best option. This section should be approximately 1 page in length. You need to clearly state what kind of research design is used (quantitative or qualitative) No matter which design you choose, you should define that type of research design (for example quantitative research design); What are the advantages of that type of research design, why it is suitable for your research topic and research questions. You need to clearly describe your study population, sampling method; sample size and data collection method. You need to let us know your response rate of the study. You need to clearly describe your data analysis method (no matter it is quantitative or qualitative). Again, one a new concept is introduced, you need to provide definition with reference. What softwares were used for data analysis; how data was analyzed? How data was reported? End of this section, provide information on ethnical issuesyou must identify and discuss the ethical issues associated with research design and sampling procedure you have chosen for your proposed research. You should also suggest options for dealing with these issues. You must explain your decisions in detail. This section should be approximately 1 page in length.   4. Timeline Prepare a table listing timeline and tasks needed to be completed for the report. 5. Results and Discussion In this section you need to provide results of your data analysis and discuss why the results are relevant and what they mean. The length of this section will depend on the research objectives and the nature of the results selected but should be at least three pages. Make sure you answer all your research questions in sequence. Link with previous research findings can help you enrich your discussion of results.   6. Implications for the Problem Discuss any theoretical and practical implications from the research. Offer recommendations when appropriate. Discuss limitations and future research directions. Summarize the purpose and the findings of the study and give conclusion. This section should be between 1-2 pages in length.   7. References You must list here any references that you have used in the report using APA referencing style. 8. Appendix Provide if there are any.
