(a) Which I have provided
(b) The more recent the better not older than 6 years old.

• Why do you think the topic is important?

• Research method is an important section
(a) I will be collecting data from bank scope
(b) I will use different ratios to define the state of competition (capital on asset, liquidity, equities, deposits on loans etc.)
(c) I will use regressions and different scatters, histograms and other graphs to represent my data

• Literature review (important)
(a) What have other scholars suggested about this topic and what are the gaps.
(b) Group various scholars together on their point of view and suggestion do not list them. For good flow of writing.
(c) Whats known and whats unknown show and state
(d) Find and describe the theories and the studies which support and also oppose your approach to the problem

• Hypothesis
(a) Clearly state your expectation for the results of your study ( I do believe that competition has an effect on financial stability)

• Purpose
(a) the goal must be clear and it must be like an investigation activity
(b) put attention and show the benefits of the study

• Summary
• Problem statement and research questions
• Aims & objectives
• Rationale/justification
• Brief literature review
• Research methods
(at least 500 words)
• Resources/costs
• Any other factors
• A detailed statement of
• What you intend to do?
• How you intend to get the information you need?
• When you intend to do it by? (during the next 3-6 months)
• Indicates your ability to conduct the study
• Summarize the main literature - theory, evidence

Research questions

• What is happening?
• (descriptive, survey/case study)
• How many?
• (descriptive, measurement, quantitative)
• Why?
• (explanatory/predictive, quantitative/qualitative)
• How can we improve?
• (action research)

literature review

• Evaluation/implementation
- E.g. to critically evaluate relevant research as a basis for improving organisational practices
• What are the ‘gaps' in the literature - the key objective
• Conducting research
- to provide a rationale for your study
- to put the study into the context of what is already known about the topic
- to discuss the conceptual/theoretical basis for your study

A critique of literature

• Developing a ‘critical' approach
- To what extent does it answer your research question?
- Look for weaknesses in the work you are reading e.g. in the design, how findings are reported, limitations, areas for further research
- How does this study compare with others?
- What is the current state of knowledge?

Literature

• Literature = published material
• Value of publication depends on type & quality of information
• credibility, objectivity, reliability (verifiable)
• E.g. journals, textbooks, theses, newspapers, company documents, internet, personal communications
• Primary sources
• original data collected by you
• Secondary sources
• reports on original work written by other people (or data collected by other people)

Data and methodology

• Which data will be collected to answer the question? (I will use both quantitative and qualitative but more towards quantitative)
- Quantitative
• structured data collection methods & tools
- Qualitative
• fieldwork = case study, ethnography, survey
• flexible data collection methods & tools
• Employ a suitable methodology you studied in Management Research or Research Methods or Financial Econometrics
• Remember, simple statistical methods can be very effective
