Topic - Business Organisation and the Family Business Model
Make the proposal along the following guidelines urgently:-
Detailed guidance - The Research Proposal should be concise and about no more than 1500 words plus your development schedule/timetable (or GANTT chart). Significant deviation (e.g. a change of topic) from the accepted Research Proposal should only be made after approval from your supervisor and the Independent Study Tutor.
Title or topic area of proposed study: Your working title should reflect the content of your proposal. The title should be focused and summative.
What is the aim and objectives of your study?
This section should contain your reasons for the particular focus of the study and the background literature to which the project relates. Note: key references should be highlighted.
This is the important part of the proposal. It should tell the reader why you feel the research that you are planning is worth the effort. This may be expressed in the form of a problem that needs solving or something that you find exciting and has aroused your curiosity. The reader will be looking for evidence here that there is sufficient interest from you to sustain you over the long months ahead. This is also the section where you will demonstrate your knowledge of the relevant literature. Moreover, it will clarify where your proposal fits into the debate in the literature. You will be expected to show a clear link between the previous work that has been done in your field of research interest and the content of your proposal. (Saunders, Lewis and Thornhill, 2003, p.30)
Aims and objectives need to be focused, manageable, observable. See the section on how to write aims and objectives and grading criteria (3.1). You are encouraged to consider only one aim. Discuss with your supervisor if you are not clear about the number of aims and objectives.
Literature Review -
Brief review of relevant literature and rationale for study (attach on a separate sheet references of approximately 6 key publications, it is not necessary to attach copies of the publications):
Outline of study design and methods (Research Strategy and Methodology)
It will detail precisely how you intend to go about achieving your research objectives. It will also justify your choice of method in the light of those objectives. These two aims may be met by dividing your method section into two parts: research design and data collection. In the part on research design you will explain where you intend to carry out the research. You will also need to explain the identity of your research population. This section should also include an explanation of the general way in which you intend to carry out the research. Will it be based on a survey, interviews, examination of secondary data or a combination of methods? Here again it is essential to explain why you have chosen your approach. Your explanation should be based on the most effective way of meeting your research objectives. The research design section gives an overall view of the method chosen and the reasonfor that choice. (Saunders, Lewis and Thornhill, 2003, p.30)
Project Plan: You need to include a detailed timescale of your research. You may insert a Gantt chart, a table or embed an Excel file where you state the different stages of your research. This will serve as a contract between you and your supervisor, and you must ensure you follow this schedule wholeheartedly. You are advised to prepare a timetable which you should agree with your supervisor. This will assist you in allocating your time to the specific activities involved in carrying out research. There are some obvious tips you should follow when drafting your timetable:
- Work the timetable backwards from the date the dissertation has to be submitted.
- Identify each activity required for your dissertation and allocate a time factor for each task.
- Build in slack to cope with those unexpected delays that are bound to happen.
- Agree the timetable with your supervisor.
- Advise your supervisor immediately you fall behind the timetable."
