  • RESEARCH IN BUSINESS: SOME ADVICE FOR CHOOSING OF A PROJECT TOPIC…

    This course has been purposefully designed to incorporate a high degree of flexibility relating to various topics; therefore the choice of topic for your project is entirely your own choice. • Topic for the project outline (Assessment 1) and project proposal (Assessment 3) MUST be same. • Remember, it is your project and if you select something that holds a deep interest for you, you will find it easy to commit and you will be highly motivated to complete the work that your project outline requires (Assessment 1), and subsequently that your project proposal requires (Assessment 3). • Make sure that your topic is relevant to your current area of study or what you want to be in future. There is often temptation to pick a topic that is too broad, and might require a longer time to do it properly. • Up to five topic areas are given below under five broader areas of interest (i.e., discipline). We strongly suggest you to choose a topic from one of the broader areas. However these are not the exhaustive list and you can choose beyond this list. o Marketing: ? Marketing communications – such as why do some controversial marketing communications work whilst other fail? ? Social marketing: such as why are social networks more persuasive than traditional word-of-mouth? ? Telemarketing – such as selling goods or services to customer via telephone or surveying customer satisfaction via computer assisted telephone interview ?

Enterprise management – such as how can an organisation (any industry) engage with and facilitate the creation and growth of new ventures, including opportunity identification and evaluation, venture capital, and/or corporate venturing; and what are the processes for managing and improving the success of the enterprise? 2 ? Strategic management – such as investigating high performing and innovative firms in turbulent environments ? Corporate governance such as how can an organisation (any industry) cope with environmental, social, and ethical influences upon their practices and processes of doing business; including environmental sustainability, corporate social responsibility, stakeholder management and influence, and business ethics? o Human Resource Management ? Leadership– such as leadership impacts on organisational performance ? Employee engagement, wages and workforce performance ? Decision making under pressure ? Avoidance approaches to conflict ?

    Plagiarism Policy
    Plagiarism–the using of words or ideas of others as one’s own without acknowledgement–is a serious academic offense. Plagiarism can be committed in two ways: either by copying exactly what the writer has said or by summarizing or paraphrasing the ideas as your own. Copying the words or ideas of another without acknowledgment in a piece of written work amounts to an attempt to claim them as one’s own. Such actions will not be tolerated. Where plagiarism is detected in a piece of submitted work it may be considered as academic misconduct and dishonesty. If a student submits a plagiarized essay, the student will immediately receive an “F” for the course.
    If a student submits an essay found on the Internet (or part/s of an essay or material found on the Internet), the student will fail the course.
