Individual Assignment
Required
Finalising Your Research Question and Methodology
The previous units in the module have guided you in choosing a research topic and in reviewing how other researchers have addressed this or similar topics. In Unit 3, you shared options for research questions and methodologies to address those questions. For this Individual Assignment, you will develop your research question and methodology for your research proposal. You will receive feedback on your question and methodology which you can incorporate into your Final Project, and you will be prepared to design a data analysis and presentation plan in Unit 5.
To prepare for this Individual Assignment:
- Read the Unit 4 readings.
- Review your submissions from Unit 3's Individual Assignment and Shared Activities and this unit's Shared Activities.
To complete this Individual Assignment:
- Describe your chosen methodology and your rationale for selecting this particular methodology. Explain how it relates to your research question.
- Critically analyse the strengths and weakness of choosing this particular methodology and why other methodologies would not be as useful or appropriate.
- Describe the data collection tools and techniques you will use as part of your methodology and how you will implement these. Include your approach to sampling and how you will determine your sample size, if appropriate.
- Identify any ethical issues involved in data collection using your chosen methods and discuss how you will address these issues.
- Be sure to include references to all sources in Harvard Referencing Style.
Please note that below is the feedback; please take into your consideration when writing this individual assignment.
I am afraid I could not see the connection between your approved MRP topic which is 'Integrating the balanced scorecard with SWOT analysis' with the Literature Review that you submitted as your LU3 IA. You were expected to develop a review of existing academic resources on your approved topic.
