Abstract
(200 words)Summarise the major elements of your proposal in this page.
1. The rationale of the study
Provide a research contextand issues that surround the research topic. Explain why this project is needed and demonstrate the evidence for this need. Evidence could be a limitation of a previous study on the selected research topic or previous literature that suggest there no adequate information to explain the problem or no solution exists for that problem. Think of this section as building the case for the problem you plan to investigate and define the problem.
2. Significance of the study
Through the comprehensive exploration of this research on the barriers of communication that might be affecting the outcome of the construction projects in Australia.
3. Preliminary literature review
Research questions
Define the problem in the form of research questions and objectives. You can also have one or hypotheses if applicable.
Based on a review of the literature, two primary questions were developed to address the empirical limitations of poor communication in the context of building projects in Australia. The two meta-level questions and objectives proposed for this research to identify and investigate the causes and consequences of inadequate communication in the construction sector are as follows:
• Research question: "What are the causes and effects of poor communication in the construction industry?"
• Research objectives:
- To identify the main causes of ineffective communication in the building sector.
- To evaluate the effects of these causes on construction projects
• Research question: "How project management team can develop effective communication strategies or methods with project´s stakeholders?"
•
- To examine effective communication strategies
- To investigate communication practices used on construction projects
4.1 Definition of key terms
Define any used term that may be vague or have a contextually related meaning.
5. Research Methodology
5.1 Research Approach
Guided by the research onion, structure this section starting with Research philosophy then approach to theory development, methodological choice, strategies, etc. References would be needed in this section to support your justification. Include your research methodology diagram or flow chart here.
Research approach and data collection methods should be detailed enough to describe how you intend to answer the research questions and achieve the research objectives. In this section, you should select and justify a methodological approach to solve the problem (i.e.qualitative, quantitative).
5.2 Data collectionmethods and analysis
This section should include a set of investigative strategies or methods which is considered, coherent and appropriate to the outcomes that the project is designed to achieve. Will it be based on a survey, interviews, examination of secondary data or combination of methods? And what are the reasons of choosing a certain method. If you are using a survey method, you should specify the target population,sampling plan, identification and access toparticipants, the methods and tools you will use to distribute the questionnaire and analyse collected data.It is also encouraged to provide samples of the survey questions you intend to ask and how the questions are aligned with your objectives.
