Prepare and submit a written draft of your proposed research question/sub-questions, rationale, definitions and hypothesis for your future MGT 8800 independent study research project as outlined in the course syllabus. The attached Powerpoints provide guidance and more information on completing this draft.
DO NOT USE BOOKS-INSTRUCTORS CANNOT VERIFY THOSE SOURCES. Recommend you use articles from WU Library databases. (If you must use a book-copy/scan the selected content and provide that to your Instructor so that he/she can verify your resources).
The research question/sub-question(s), if answered through conducting your research, would solve your problem. It must be clearly related to the problem statement and structured such that it clearly summarizes the purpose and focus of your proposed research effort. The research question and any sub-questions should be clear, concise, definitive, unambiguous and easily understood by anyone who reads it.
The rationale is a brief summary of the need for the research study. Why is this topic being examined?
Definitions are a list of the terms you believe need to be defined for this research proposal for clarity or are not commonly known terms.
The hypothesis is a brief statement of what you believe is the solutions to your stated problem and/or the answer(s) to your stated research question(s) that you will be able to prove through your proposed research.
Your hypothesis, rationale, and definitions will also comply with the following general formatting requirements:
- Maximum of two (2) pages in length
- Typed using a 12-point Times New Roman font
- Double-spaced throughout the entire paper
- Use a 1-inch margin
- Page header will include your title and page numbers
- Cover/Title page will include your name and the date of submission
The topic is lack of communication between managers and employees.
I already have the question (What
are the various ways that can be used to improve the communication between the
manager and the employees in an organization?) and the sub questions (What are the causes of poor communication between the managers and the employees? What are the effects of poor communication between the managers and the employees? What can the managers do to ensure that they solve the problem?)
