Task Details: There are two components of the assessment: Written proposal and Oral presentation
Based on the Research Question developed in Assessment 2, students should develop a research design aimed at providing insights and/or answers to the question. Students should make any recommended adjustments to the content of Assessment 2, based on feedback provided, prior to including it in Assessment 4.
This assessment requires students to choose and justify the most appropriate research design, clearly explaining WHY the chosen design will best answer the research question and is most appropriate in the specific circumstances. Students should clearly justify their recommended research and analysis methods.
Note: Other than in exceptional circumstances, Assessment 4 of this subject is intended to form the basis of the students Research Project in BUS710 Research Project, following appropriate adjustments recommended in feedback
Written Proposal: the proposal will contain the following information:
o Title page: including research title and students details o Abstracts: A brief summary of key information about the research (the research questions, the theory used and methodology plan). o Research Background (revision version of Assessment 2) o Research Questions and Research objectives (revision version of Assessment 2) o Literature review (based on Assessment 3 — structured literature review), minimum 20 peer-reviewed articles (including the four main articles used in Assessment 3) o Research Design: describe type of research, research approach, type of data, data collection methods, data analysis methods and sampling plan. o Ethical Consideration : address the five ethical consideration of human research

Critically evaluate the following statement: “State income redistribution policies are necessary to ensure the fair distribution of the benefits and proceeds of landmark innovations related to mechanization, robotics and artificial intelligence.” In your answer refer to TWO key unit concepts. In your opinion what policies or practices could be implemented to ensure a fairer distribution of the fruits of innovation? GUIDELINES AND HINTS: 1) There are several approaches you can take to this topic – you should try to address the question in light of at least TWO of the following unit themes. You can also connect different themes if you like. A) You may wish to engage with the literature on whether mechanization and robotics systemically REDUCE the jobs available in the economy (Weeks 5 and 6). This is itself debatable. IF you find this IS the case, then does society (and government) actually have any obligation to address the issue? Why or why not? B) You may approach the question from the perspective of whether current intellectual property rights regimes (and substantial and long lasting technical rents) are justified – if you find it is not, does this have implications for redistributing income? (week 4, Week 3). Here (entirely optional ) you may wish to engage with the claimed difference (if any) between proceduralist and consequentialist concepts of distributive justice or fairness (Topic 11/Week 12 teacher’s notes and readings. Also to some extent Week 4 readings and teacher’s notes). C) You may wish to consider which bodies, groups or organizations fund and develop innovations – what role does the state funding, science and education policy play here (Topic 9/week 10 readings ). How significant is the use of past, freely available scientific and technical knowledge? (week 4 readings). D) You may wish to engage in the debate about whether a universal basic income is necessary and/or morally justifiable (Topic 12 Week 13 readings
