Question:
Select five empirical articles from peer-reviewed journals that:
- Are considered critical to an understanding of a dissertation research ("Cost of Quality").
- Address a particular phenomenon and attempt to contribute to theory about it ("Cost of Quality")
Part 1
1. Describe each study, including:
- the research problem, questions, or hypotheses
- the research purpose
- type of design and elements of the design (e.g., sample, data analysis, operationalization of constructs)
- threats to validity and if and how they were addressed
- the findings and their implications
2. Critically evaluate each study: Does the author make a compelling case for the meaning and significance of the findings?
Part 2
Write a literature review that explains what is known and not known about the phenomenon based on a critical evaluation of the five studies related to the "Cost of Quality".
Part 3
Develop a research question that addresses one of the unknowns you identified in Part 2 and sketch a quantitative or qualitative study that can answer the question about what is unknown and contribute to theory (in some sense of theory as discussed in Question 1).
Address:
- the research purpose
- type of design and elements of the design (e.g., sample, the type of data you need to collect and
how you will collect it, data analysis)
- the strengths and weaknesses of your envisioned design and methods
- quantitative: threats to validity and how your design will address them
- quantitative: the constructs you will measure and what you will do in order to determine how to operationalize them (you need not identify specific measures)
- qualitative: your means of ensuring the quality of your findings
- justification for why your chosen design and methods are more appropriate for your research
question than alternatives you have considered
- your methods of data analysis
- how the data you collect will enable you to answer your research question and contribute to theory
Draw on the additional resources for this course for guidance in understanding the concepts (e.g., internal validity, threats to validity, and operationalization) needed to address this question.
The structure of the paper should be as follows:
- Title page
- Body (10-15 pages, no more or less; APA Style; use appropriate headings for organization of the paper)
- References (APA Style) Please Note: all references cited in the body of the text must be listed on the reference page, and please include pages of the citation according to APA format.
I need the paper to follow APA guidelines conforming to strict compliance to in-text citations and reference page spacing and format.
The body of the paper needs to be at least 10pages minimum.
