Preparing the Assignment

Use the topic of your Research Proposal, or another topic area relevant to project management or business research with approval from the unit coordinator.

Describe and justify a research question / research questions associated with the research topic. You may vary the question so that it is appropriate for the different methodologies. For example, an experimental / quasi-experimental or time-series design may be useful for answering questions about causes, such as schedule delays associated with highly complex projects. A qualitative methodology would be more appropriate for exploring how people carry out teamwork tasks in projects or a business scenario. ("200 words)

Present three different methodologies for answering the question (-600 words each). For example, you might consider how the question could be answered using a quasi-experimental, time-series and qualitative methodology. In your answers you need to indicate for each methodology
a. Type of data to be collected and / or analysed (e.g., self-report questionnaires, structured interviews, existing data set)
b. Description of sample required to answer the question (number of people, relevant demographic characteristics)
c. Advantages
d. Limitations
e. Ethical considerations in using the methodology
