Develop a brief research proposal. The research proposal should come from some dilemma you see in your daily life. As this is a “business” management course, try to develop a proposal based on a management dilemma. If, for example, you work in quality control on a banana plantation; you could use a banana quality dilemma as the basis of your proposal. Your proposal could be an examination of the quality of the bananas produced on the plantation. Use the structure illustrated below. The proposal will be evaluated using, in part, your use of the methodologies described in the text. Try to use a management dilemma that you have observed in your daily life.

Create a Proposition or a Hypothesis based on the management dilemma/research question above. The hypothesis or proposition should be one of the following:

Proposition – a statement about observable phenomena that may be judged either true or false

Descriptive Hypothesis – states the existence, size, form or distribution of some variable

Relational Hypothesis – describes the relationship between two variables with respect to some case; relationships are correlational or explanatory.

~ From the example above, the relational hypothesis is “banana quality is falling.” This hypothesis states a relationship between the time of banana production and the quality.
