Assignment 6- Conceptual Model and Hypothesis

OVERVIEW: In previous assignment we identified the variables in our research.Now, it is time to show the relationship between these variables in a conceptual framework. You have to draw your diagram to show the relationship between variables.

1. Research Question: Write down your modified research questions that show cause-effect relationship.

2. Provide theconceptual definition of variables in template that you submit in the assignment.

Variable Name	Type of variable	Conceptualization (Definition)	Sources
Tip: Take it from your research question	Tip:  Specify whether the measure is a dependent, an independent variable or control variable	Tip: Define your variables in full sentences. Focus on how variables were defined in literature.	Show your references in APA style. (Like Howard, 2014)

3. Draw your conceptual diagram

Drawing diagram should be done by office programs, such as word or ppt. Any submission by hand drawing will result %50 penalty. Also, one of the goal of this assignment is also to improve our abilities in office programs.

4. Write down your hypothesis with their reasoning. For each hypothesis, you need to state why this relationship exists (Use at least two-three sentences). Look at the first article critique that we have done or example of student submission from previous year.

For instance:

My research question is:

What is the effect of Collaboration on Firm Performance?

My hypothesis for this research question is:

Greater levels of collaboration between firms lead to better relational outcomes.

5. References
