Summative Essay - Brief

Topic - Investigating the challenges faced by MSME (Micro ,small and Medium Enterprises}

This week you will be submitting the first summative essay that counts for 20% of your overall grade. In order to successfully complete these tasks please read carefully the five recommended readings and identify what the researchers are implying for future research in their fields of concentration.As doctorate students you are required to justify future research in your area of interest or your specialization however, this justification is a very challenging process that requires special attention.

Once you will identify a research area or a problem of concern that requires future research, you must be also able to identify current research gaps that highlight the importance of further research on the specific research area or to the detailed problem of concern in order to test or build on a specific theory. A lack in testing a specific theory in a location (specific country) without any other gaps is not a sufficient gap in literature at the doctoral level.

The identification of research gaps includes different implications for future research from others academic researches. Research gaps are considering an important consideration as may be used for a research topic justification. You can identify research gaps at the end of academic/scholarly articles or journals as implications for future research.

Using this week' recommended readings you are required to submit the first summative assessment that counts for the 20% of your overall grade as well participate in this week discussion forum.
