    Research Proposal

    Part 1: Introduction
    • The introduction section consists of:
    • Outline of the research problem and the motivation for doing it.
    • Some literature to support the first tenet that the research is
    relevant and a question of substance in the field of study. This may
    include popular business press articles. The purpose is to outline
    the background and context to situate your thesis research.
    • A final paragraph that states what is in the proposal. Start this
    paragraph with “In this proposal….”
    Part 2: Literature review
    Your overall “claim” or “argument” is your assessment of a
    body of literature relevant to your proposal topic. You are
    presenting your assessment of the literature relevant to
    your project, and to do that you must assess the main
    arguments/claim/thesis of each of the articles.
    Part 3: Research questions/objectives and backing
    • It consists of the main research questions you want to
    answer as well as any sub-questions. These are normally
    stated in the form of a question.
    • State what gap in the knowledge that will be filled. Use the
    literature to back the claim that there is a gap.
    • Summarize the theoretical perspective and framework
    being used.
    Part 4: Methodology
    • State whether the research is inductive or deductive
    • State the hypotheses to be evaluated and provide a
    justification for them.
    • Describe the research methods that are planned including the
    method of analyzing data. Explain:
    • What data is to be collected/data sources and where will the data be
    collected (e.g., if people are involved, how many people, and from where will
    they be recruited)
    • How the data will be collected/what instruments or equipment will be used
    (e.g., interviews, online survey, databases, archival data, Internet, etc.).
    • How will the data be analyzed (statistically using what specific statistics and
    why, thematic analysis, content analysis, etc.). Provide a justification of the
    analysis techniques.
    • How will reliability and validity be carried out (if appropriate)
    Part 5: Contributions, timeline, and budget
    • State what knowledge type you want to generate (e.g., knowledge
    for explanation, knowledge for action).
    • A better explanation provides a new description, framework,
    explanatory model, predictive model that can better explain the
    empirical observations than existing ones.
    • A better action provides a better model, framework, approach for
    doing the research than currently exists.
    • Who will benefit from the research.
    • Provide a chart that shows the different components of the
    research and when they will be accomplished. Provide a chart that
    shows the cost items necessary to carry out the thesis research
    and how the costs will be covered.
