Assessment 1: Project Brief

Report outlining what research project could be carried out and how the project could be analysed and evaluated to address the project or business goal/problem.

A report outlining the project to be carried out, analysed and evaluated to address the business goal/problem.
A Research Proposal Brief early in the semester is to ensure feedback about the suitability of the topic and which informs others of a proposed piece of research and its significance. This is the outline of the Research Proposal that could be used as part of an application to undertake a research degree or to apply for funding to conduct the research.

For Assessment Task 1 you need to prepare an outline of your proposed research topic and research plan for investigating the topic using a structure like shown below:

1. Project Title: This is a brief descriptive summary of the proposed research topic. For ideas on how a project title should look, see the articles in Project Management journals such as the International Journal of Project Management.

2. Research Overview and Justification: This is a summary of the research topic that describes the topic and why it is important for a research study to be conducted to investigate the topic.

3. Brief Literature Review: Outline the objectives, methodologies and findings of at least three most relevant literatures recently (within last

5 years) published that provide a background for your research topic.

4. Research Objectives, Research question and Sub-questions: Linking back to sections (2) and (3), present and justify the question that your research project will be designed to answer.

5. Methodology: Details about how you would answer your research question (e.g., by reviewing trends in national / international statistics, by conducting a survey of consumers, by undertaking interviews with employers) and start to consider any advantages, disadvantages, materials needed or practical limitations of the methodology.

6. Significance of the research of the project. A summary of the sections ending with a statement of why it is important to conduct the research using the methodology proposed.

7. Ethical issues. This section would cover any ethical issues (following APIC policy) that are considered in the research.

8. References and Resources: provide references to key research studies, government reports and/or industry reports using Harvard Referencing.

* Assessment 2: Critical Review of Literature

Synthesis of the current literature including comparison of various authors' views and identification of research gaps, highlighting the critical analysis of previous research.

A report outlining the current literature including comparison of various authors' views and identification of research gaps, highlighting the critical analysis of previous research.

For Assessment Task 2 you need to prepare a report, which Includes synthesis of findings of all key authors in the field with a wide range of references specific to the topic using a structure like shown below:

1. Project Title
2. Abstract: provide a summary of the literature review
3. Critical evaluation of the literature: this section may be divided into several sub-sections depending on nature of the research
4. Identification of research gaps
5. Conclusion
6. References and Resources: provide references to key research studies, government reports and/or industry reports using Harvard Referencing.

Assessment 3: Oral Presentation/Viva Students present their final report, model, or artefact of the research study, with a particular focus on the outcomes and recommendations.

Students present their final report, model, or artefact of the research study. The assessment will consist of a PowerPoint and/or Audio or a short video which will cover the marking criteria.
Presentation will cover key aspects of the research, which include background, significance, research gap, objectives, research method, results, discussion, recommendation and conclusion.

Assessment 4: Submission of Report/Artefact
Students prepare a final report, model, or artefact of the research study with a particular focus on the outcomes and recommendations.

Students prepare a final report, model, or artefact of the research study. The final report will incorporate key aspects of the design, conduct, research and analysis and will be presented in a structured and coherent manner which is appropriate for a research report or publication. This will include abstract, introduction, methods, analysis, results, discussion, recommendations, conclusion and appropriate referencing.
