4. Describe the research process
5. Describe data collection and analysis methods
6. Describe expected research outcomes
Here are some questions to help you develop your business research proposal:
PROBLEM STATEMENT:
What exactly do I want to find out?
What is a researchable problem?
THEORY, ASSUMPTIONS, BACKGROUND LITERATURE:
What does the relevant literature in the field indicate about this problem?

- What tools or devices will I use to make or record observations?
- How will I choose the sample?
- What degree of accuracy or level of confidence can I guarantee?
DATA ANALYSIS
- What combinations of analytical and statistical process will be applied to the data?
