RESEARCH PROPOSAL: TOPIC ASSIGNMENT INSTRUCTIONS
The purpose of the Research Proposal:
Final Assignment is to ensure you appreciate the challenge of setting up an effective research plan, consider the context,
research questions, sources, timeline, integrated implications, analysis and writing required. Building a proposal will
demand you work through all the research stages explored throughout the course including: clarifying the research
question; designing the research; reviewing relevant scholarly literature, data collection, preparation and examination;
analyzing the data; and reporting on the research.
The Research Proposal:
Topic Assignment is the first step toward completing the major
BUSI600 writing assignment, the Research Proposal: Final Assignment. Your research
proposal topic should be one of personal interest/value with three limitations:
 It needs to be something you can find scholarly research on i.e., if you identify a topic
that’s too narrow or obscure you may not be able to find enough scholarly research on the
topic
 It cannot be a subject upon which you have done a previous assignment.
 Steer clear of political topics/issues since this is not a political science course
Ensure the following requirements are met:
 Identify a topic of interest (a sentence or two), draft a problem statement that explains the management dilemma, the management research question hierarchy for the problem (<100 words) and concludes with the research question(s) (<100 words).  Identify at least 10 scholarly (peer reviewed) journal articles and create an Annotated Bibliography that specifically explains each article’s relevance to your topic (6-8 sentences per reference).  Use proper grammar, current APA format and submit in MS Word format.  It does not require an abstract or Biblical integration.
