HR7004 You will prepare a report outlining further details of your chosen research that will form the basis of your Dissertation/Applied Business Project: Individual Applied Report, UOEL, UK

Task: You will prepare a report outlining further details of your chosen research that will form the basis of your Dissertation/Applied Business Project.

Format: You should use the following structure for your Individual Applied Report - Research Proposal. You should present your applied report/proposal in a single document with an appropriate front page, contents page, headings, and a correctly formatted reference list
(University of East London Harvard style). The applied report/proposal should include the following:

● Section 1: Research topic, aim and objectives

○ Identify your proposed research topic and offer a clear rationale, along with aim and objectives
■ In this section you should present your research topic and explain the topic area. The section should include appropriate background
information and it should explain the rationale for selecting this research topic and what is the potential contribution of the proposed research.
Also, the section should clearly present the aim and objectives of the proposed research.

● Section 2: Literature review

•  The literature review should analyze and synthesize relevant academic literature, critically engaging with the field of scholarship. In the literature review, you should discuss how your research topic will fit within existing published work. You should find at least 12-15 sources of literature (mainly academic) connected to your proposed research and analyze them to show how your research will attempt to contribute to existing knowledge.

You should aim to compare and contrast the sources and make appropriate links with your proposed research. Keep in mind that you should paraphrase the sources in your own words (and cite and reference the sources appropriately) and you should synthesize the potential contribution of these sources to your research. Your literature review should not be presented as a ‘list’ of articles.
