Findings, Discussion, Conclusions and Recommendations

You are now required to write the key parts of your final research paper. You should write your findings, the discussion which also should include a detailed analysis of the strengths and limitations of your project, the conclusions and your recommendations.

You must demonstrate how well you understand the data you collected in relation to your research objectives. You should attempt to relate these results to your knowledge of the learning outcomes you are studying. You should discuss how your results compare with what you expected based on the theory. It is not necessarily true that your results will always fit into the theory. If they do not, explain why you think that is so.

You must also include an Abstract - this is a summary of around 500 words that explains all the key points of your research project. The Abstract is included at the start of the research paper. However, he Abstract is written last as it is a summary of the full project.

The paper should be written in HCT report format and fully referenced using APA format. You should also submit the document to Safe Assign on Black Board Learn.

Abstract
An Abstract previews the main points of your report, it summarizes the entire proposal, especially your main findings and recommendations. Therefore, the abstract should outline the proposal's major headings: the research question, theoretical framework, research design, sampling method, instrumentation, data analysis, and a brief summary of your interpretations and conclusions.It is written for upper management so that they can become familiar with what is discussed in the full report without having to read it. The abstract should convey your objectives, along with key conclusions and recommendations. A reader should be able to skim the abstract without missing the point of the main report. The abstract should be no more than 500 words.

Findings

A major part of the grade for the final report will be based on the accuracy and relevance of your primary and secondary data collection. You will also be graded on how well you understand the data you collected and how you present that data in relation to your research objectives. Good graphs and charts are excellent ways to summarize data for your readers and to illustrate trends. However, you must also be able to explain your analysis in concise terms.

Whenever possible, relate these results to your knowledge of the learning outcomes you are studying. You can discuss how your results compare with what you expected based on the theory. It is not necessarily true that your results will always fit into the theory. If they do not, explain why you think that is so.

You should always put your findings into the context of the previous research that you found during your literature review. Do your results agree or disagree with previous research? Do the results of the previous research help you to interpret your own findings? If your results are very different, why? Either you have uncovered something new, or you may have made a major flaw with the design of the experiment.

Finally, after saying all of this, you can make a statement about whether the project has contributed to knowledge in the field, or not. Try not to be too broad in your generalizations to the wider world - it is a small project and is unlikely to change the world.

Discussion

Writing a discussion section is where you really begin to add your interpretations to the work. Here you should describe how you developed your project goals from the SWOT analysis that you completed in task one - the Project Proposal. Describe fully your objectives. The SWOT analysis should be in the appendix.

In this critical part of the research paper, you start the process of explaining any links and correlations apparent in your data. If you left a few interesting leads and open questions in the results section, the discussion is simply a matter of building upon those and expanding them.

You also need to write a detailed analysis of the strengths and limitations of your entire project. The focus should beon the limitations and strengths in company selection, methodology used, technique used to sample and other issues. What went well and what would you change of you had to do the project again.

Conclusion and Recommendations

Here you draw your main conclusions and link them to the recommendations by showing a need for action. The conclusion should give the main cause(s) of the problem or opportunity that is the topic of the report. The conclusion is NOT merely a restatement of your findings. Conclusions flow logically from your analysis. The conclusion provides the reader with insight into what you think the data means. It should not include findings that are not related to the recommendations.
