"I would like to discuss how IS has positively impacted the roles of human resource professionals.  Specifically, I would like to look at data storing and how having this information stored in an HRIS system helps human resource professionals become better partners for the managers they work with."

Elements to include:

Your proposal must include:

1. Overview of project:  one or more paragraphs describing the project (the bulk of the text), identifying the audience, and describing research sources
2. Outline of the paper:  a preliminary outline with sufficient detail to allow me to understand your aims, scope, and depth
3. List of research sources:  an initial list of current, high caliber resources (one source must be Laudon, K. C., & Laudon, J. P. (2016). Management Information Systems: Managing the Digital Firm (14th ed.). New York: Pearson.)
4. Audience:  brief description of the intended audience of the research paper

What I'll be looking for in your proposal is whether you have

• selected an appropriate topic
• described the topic in sufficient detail for me to know what you are planning to do (the outline will support this)
• defined a realistic scope - not too large that it cannot be done within the time frame yet large enough that it is worthy of credit
• identified appropriate research sources (I expect you to follow-up on material you find, thus to go beyond the sources you identify)
