BBRC 4103 Research Methodology

This document outlines the requirements for a research methodology assignment with two tasks. Task 1 requires students to choose a research topic, develop a problem statement supported by facts and figures, and identify research questions and objectives. Task 2 builds on Task 1 by requiring a literature review on the chosen topic, development of a conceptual framework and hypotheses, and description of the research methodology. The document provides guidance on the specific sections and questions students must address to complete the assignment.

BBRC 4103 RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

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

a good research proposal.

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

to choose a research topic in a field of study that is of interest to you. Then, you need to

formulate the problem statement related to the chosen topic. To ensure that the problem that

you have identified exists and is significant, you need to provide facts and figures to support

it. You are also required to determine the research questions and objectives suitable to the

research problem. Finally, you must explain why it is important to do the research. Your

report for Task 1 should include the following:

1. Introduction and Research Background

2. Problem Statement, Research Question(s), and Research Objectives

3. Significance of the Research

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.

Your report for Task 2 should include the following:

1. Literature Review

2. Conceptual Framework and Hypotheses

3. Research Methodology

To guide you through the research proposal, ensure that you answer the following questions

that carry a specified weightage of the marks:

a) What is the research background and why is the research significant? (12%)

b) State your problem statement and construct the possible research question(s) and

research objective(s). (18%)

c) Review some literature on your chosen topic. Based on the literature, identify and

define the variables of your research, develop a conceptual framework and construct the

possible hypotheses. You need to refer to at least EIGHT (8) recently published articles on

your chosen topic. Use APA format for in-text citations and references. (30%)

d) Suggest a particular research design and your justification for choosing it. (15%)
e) Detail your sampling design and the possible statistical analysis that you will use.

(12%)

f) List down all your references according to the APA format. (3%)
