Your final assignment will require the development of a business research proposal that includes the core elements of research. As presented in the textbook, “the key purpose of any [full] research report is to offer a clear description of what has been done in the various stages of the research process” (Sekaran & Bougie, 2016, p. 353). The research proposal represents the initial stage of the research process where both the study and researcher are properly authorized and the methodology, cost and duration of the study are determined to ensure the research process is carried out as smoothly as possible. The research proposal also provides the purpose of the study and the research design details of the investigation to be carried out by the researcher. Upon completion, the research proposal will be approved by the sponsor who will issue a letter of authorization to proceed with the study.

The research proposal will typically contain the elements below (Sekaran & Bougie, 2016, p. 45):

1. A working title – anchors the focus of the study in a similar way as the research problem and keeps the researcher oriented to the main purpose of the study; a final title may be selected later in the study to more accurately reflect the subject and scope of the study (Sacred Heart University Library, 2019).

2. Background of the study/Literature Review – identifies and describes the history and nature of the research problem with reference to existing literature and shows that the researcher has a basic understanding of the research problem (Sacred Heart University Library, 2019).

3. The problem statement – a statement about an area of concern, a condition to be improved, a difficulty to be eliminated, or a troubling question that exists in scholarly literature, in theory, or in practice that points to the need for meaningful understanding and deliberate investigation (Sacred Heart University Library, 2019).

1. 1. 1. The purpose of the study – introduces readers to the importance of the topic being studied.

      2. Research questions – The research problem posed in the form of questions.

1. The scope of the study – the extent to which the topic will be covered in the study.

2. The relevance of the study – shows how meaningful the topic studied is in the context of a larger body of research.

3. The research design – a blueprint or plan for the collection, measurement, and analysis of data, created to answer research questions (Sekaran & Bougie, 2016, p. 108). The research design should address these areas:

1. Type of study – exploratory and descriptive

2. Data collection methods – established manner in which data or information will be collected to answer the research question or test a hypothesis.

3. The sampling design – the method that supports the process of selecting the right individuals, objects, or events as representatives or a subset of the population to be studied.

4. Data analysis – using statistical methods to organize, represent, describe, evaluate and interpret data.

1. Time frame of the study – includes information on when the written report will be handed over to the sponsors.

2. The budget – details the costs, with reference to specific items of expenditure.

3. Selected bibliography/Reference List – A listing of all sources used in the research process that acknowledges and gives credit to the contributions of the authors whose sources were used in the study.

In Part 1 of your Business Research Proposal, you identified a business problem, selected a working title, provided background on the proposed study, developed your problem statement, and described the scope and relevance of the study. By now, you should have also received feedback on the Business Research Proposal assignment you submitted at the end of Week 4. For the Business Research Proposal Part 2 assignment, you will finalize your proposal by completing the remaining elements of the business research proposal process and submit a full research proposal.

Complete the following requirements for the Business Research Proposal – Part 2 assignment:

1. 1. Make edits to Part 1 of the Business Research Proposal based on the feedback received from the instructor for the assignment submitted at the end of Week 4. Also, make adjustments to your working title as needed so that it corresponds with the research study as closely as possible.

   2. Describe the research design, showing how you will plan for the collection, measurement, and analysis of data, created to answer the research questions. The research design should address these areas:

1. 1. Type of study – exploratory and descriptive;

   2. Data collection methods – established manner in which data or information will be collected to answer the research question or test a hypothesis;

   3. The sampling design – the method that supports the process of selecting the right individuals, objects, or events as representatives or a subset of the population to be studied; and

   4. Data analysis – using statistical methods to organize, represent, describe, evaluate and interpret data.

1. 1. Describe the proposed time frame of the study, including information on when the written report will be handed over to the sponsors.

   2. Create a budget that details the anticipated costs of specific items of expenditure related to the proposed study.

   3. Include a “Reference List” of all sources used that is formatted in APA writing style.

In MindTap, click on the Getting Ready link to access the assigned chapters for the week.

Excel’s resources Use the Analysis ToolPak to Perform Complex Data Analysis (Links to an external site.) or XLMiner Analysis ToolPak (Links to an external site.) will be used to complete the MindTap activities, which allow you to conduct statistical analysis from within your internet browser. The MindTap activities consist of (1) Videos and Practice, (2) Exploring Statistics, and (3) Review and Assignments.

Before you start working on the MindTap activities, please review the following video:

Click on the Week 1 MindTap Descriptive Statistics link to complete the assigned Microsoft Excel Online activities, which are (1) Videos and Practice, (2) Exploring Statistics, and (3) Review and Assignments for Chapters 1, 2, and 3 using Excel’s resources Use the Analysis ToolPak to Perform Complex Data Analysis (Links to an external site.) or XLMiner Analysis ToolPak (Links to an external site.).

Please note: It is recommended that you zoom in to 200% while watching the videos in Cengage.

The breakdown of the activities is as follows:

• In the Microsoft Excel Online activities (1) Videos and Practice, you will be using Microsoft Excel Online files to work in the spreadsheets, completing structured (Links to an external site.) and free-form (Links to an external site.) activities, and then answering the questions. Structured activities use templated Excel spreadsheets and color-coded cells to show inputs that are needed to solve the problems. Free-form activities offer little structure and require you to build the spreadsheet independently, using only the starting data and problem narrative.

• The Microsoft Excel Online activities (2) Exploring Statistics offer interactive visualizations that engage with the Lean Forward interactivity to help you see the statistical concepts being presented directly within MindTap.

• In the Microsoft Excel Online activities (3) Review and Assignments, you will use the book’s DATAfiles as a content base to complete each Chapter Assignments and Interpreting the Results. Students can download all Excel DATAfiles (Excel) by clicking on the MindTap link, Course Materials: Access DATAfiles, Tip Sheets, and More.

Chapter Assignments

For the Chapter Assignments, you identify the correct statistical technique by focusing on the problem objective and data type. Then, you compute the statistics using the Use the Analysis ToolPak to Perform Complex Data Analysis (Links to an external site.) or XLMiner Analysis ToolPak (Links to an external site.), and, ultimately, interpret results in the context of the problem. You examine functional areas of business, as data-driven examples demonstrate how marketing managers, financial analysts, accountants, and economists use statistical applications.

Interpreting the Results

The Interpreting the Results activity assesses your ability to analyze data and interpret the results. These activities are modeled after Chapter 3, Case Problem 3: Business Schools of Asia-Pacific from the ebook, and they showcase the same company example introduced in the Week 1 Introduction video and the Descriptive Statistics: Case Problem Business Schools of Asia-Pacific discussion forum.

The weekly MindTap activities have a similar format consisting of (1) Videos and Practice, (2) Exploring Statistics, and (3) Review and Assignments.
