ASSIGNMENT QUESTION
Part I
PURPOSE
The purpose of this assignment is to develop the learners’ ability to write a scientific research
proposal. This assignment comprises two tasks. Task 1 is designed to develop the learners’
ability to write a problem statement based on facts and figures on a specific research topic.
Based on the research topic and problem statement, learners will learn to formulate the
research questions and objectives. Task 2 is designed to develop the learners’ ability to write
a literature review on the selected research topic, develop the conceptual framework, and
finally, write on the research methodology. A combination of these two tasks should produce
REQUIREMENT
TASK 1
The first stage of research is to identify problems or issues in business and management (or in
the learners’ field of study) and to justify the need for research. To this end, you are required

research problem. Finally, you must explain why it is important to do the research. Your
TASK 2
Based on your research topic chosen in Task 1, review some research articles relevant to the
topic and write a literature review. From the literature review, identify the potential study
variables and develop the conceptual framework. Finally, write the research methodology.
