Research in Project Management Assignment - Research Proposal
Research Topic: - Identifying the root causes of payment problems in context of construction projects in New Zealand.
Part A: Oral examination - Group Interviews
This part involves an oral examination of each group member to explain the content of draft detailed research proposal. The draft proposal must be submitted in Moodle by the end of Week 9 using the given template for Part 2C. Do not include the 'Project Management Section' and 'Appendices' in the draft submission. Each group must attend 'one to one' interview with their respective tutor during the tutorial in Week 10. Interviews via Zoom will be arranged with online students. During interviews, the tutor will ask a few questions to each group member to verify the level of their contribution in the project, identify any error or misunderstanding, detect misconceptions and probe the depth of understanding of research project substance and process. Each member will receive an individual mark based on their answers to the tutor's questions during the interview. The tutor will also give constructive feedback on the draft in order to improve the final proposal.
Part B: Final Detailed Research Proposal
Developing a final detailed research proposal is the third and most important deliverable of the assignment. You should think of this proposal as a document that should be detailed enough so anyone else can use your plan to execute the project. You must consider the given feedback on previous assessment tasks to improve your research proposal. In developing your proposal, you must adopt the supplied template which has sufficient guidelines to complete each section.
