Course Description
The Research Project focuses on applied business problems. You will identify a management issue, create a research plan, review relevant literature, collect data, and analyze findings. The course strengthens analytical and writing skills while promoting evidence-based decision-making.
Topics may include marketing strategy, operations, finance, organizational behavior, or leadership. Projects must demonstrate practical relevance to business and meet SEU academic standards.
MGT 675 Research Paper Writing Process
The MGT 675 Research Paper Writing Process follows defined stages to ensure academic quality and consistency:
- Topic Selection and Approval
You begin by selecting a topic that aligns with your professional interests or field specialization. The topic must address a real business issue and contribute to academic or managerial understanding. Faculty approval is required before moving forward.
- Proposal Submission and Approval
Once your topic is approved, you prepare a written proposal that includes:
- Background and significance of the study
- Research questions and objectives
- Overview of methodology and expected data sources
- Proposed timeline and expected outcomes
The proposal must be approved by the supervisor or department before data collection starts.
- Research Paper Writing
After proposal approval, you begin writing the main sections of the report. This stage involves developing the introduction, literature review, research design, and methodology. Proper referencing and academic writing style are essential at this stage.
- Data Collection and Analysis
Students gather primary or secondary data, ensuring accuracy, reliability, and ethical compliance. You may use surveys, interviews, or company records. The collected data is analyzed using qualitative or quantitative methods depending on the research type.
- Report Submission and Presentation
The final report includes all sections, findings, and recommendations. You present your research to faculty or a review panel. This presentation demonstrates your ability to communicate results and defend your conclusions with evidence.
