HI6008 Business Research Project - Report on Literature Review

Purpose:
This unit aims to give you an opportunity to combine many facets of your acquired MBA skills into the production of a high-quality research project.

Assignment - the Literature Review - is designed to ensure that each team member masters the skills of searching, locating, reading, summarising, and using relevant academic literature as secondary data to support a compelling discussion and/or argument, thereby creating the context for their further research in pursuit of the answer to their research question(s).

Your tutor will FACILITATE the process, week by week, in the tutorials. The learning will be progressive, so for best results you will need to be listening to the weekly recorded lectures as well as participating in the interactive tutorials and using the discussion board to interact with other students in your cohort.

Assignment Structure should be the following:

1. Cover Page
2. An opening statement of the Research Problem and Research Question (RQ) - your explanation of these should at this stage be more detailed than what you wrote in your Topic Approval.
3. Discussion of major theories, models or streams of influence relevant to the RQ. This provides evidence that you are able to find literature relevant to a deeper understanding of your Research Question (RQ) as well as a model or theory that will support your quest to answer it.
4. Draw the reader's attention to any contrasting views expressed in prior research in this area and give your view of how differing opinions can be brought together to help answer the research question and ultimately resolve the research problem.
5. Converge on how this literature review has brought you closer to an answer to your research question(s).
6. Ensure all in text citations are correctly referenced. [10-12 academic sources are required]
7. Add a comprehensive List of References, in Holmes adapted Harvard referencing style. [Students please be warned that errors in referencing attract suspicion of plagiarism/academic misconduct and may require detailed investigation. It is always essential that academic integrity is upheld. Don't take a chance!]
8. Append a statement indicating ‘who wrote which sections of this report'
