Each student must submit a Qualitative Research Methodology Essay.

The essay should focus on an important/critical issue related to qualitative research. You should focus on one or two critical issues only and not try to cover many issues at a superficial level. Your essay is about demonstrating your knowledge of a specific issue related to qualitative research methodology.

The methodology essay will follow the usual structure of an essay e.g.: The title page will be followed by the essay which will contain a clear introduction, body and conclusion. Following the conclusion, a reference list will be presented (see Student Manual). While there is room for being innovative, the essay must provide a discussion and analysis of the following key issues:

·            epistemology, ontology and methodology;

·            methods;

·            research design issues; and

·            analysis anticipation.

You will be marked on your ability to analyse and synthesise the literature e.g.: the adequacy of application, strengths and weaknesses, whether they provide a strong enough foundation on which to base rigorous research. Therefore, do not write a descriptive essay.

This is a research essay requiring you to search academic journals only – not textbooks or non-academic internet sources. You should primarily search the academic journals from online library. If you feel it is appropriate, you may use other journals if you consider the journal article to be a relevant and quality source for your assignment.

A minimum of eight (8) journal reference sources will help you write a more complete paper, if all the sources are relevant. It is preferable that your journal sources be no older than 10 years and, definitely, no earlier than 2000.

Note: you are discouraged from including excessive numbers of citations in your essay that do not add critical significance to your discussion, as there is NO reward in the marking process for quantity over quality.

Be sure to follow the guidelines below:  Writing should include proper grammar, sentence structure, and writing mechanics.  Organization should be logical.  Your paper should be at least two pages in length.  You are required to use three outside sources to support your essay.  All sources used must be referenced; paraphrased and quoted material must have accompanying citations in APA format.

Market Research Proposal

I have a marketing research proposal due.

I need the following below.

·       Clear statement of the intended contribution(s), both theoretical and substantive.

·       Background, including a brief review of relevant literature and how the proposed research will provide a novel and interesting contribution.

·       Motivation and research questions, including a statement of the specific research question(s) that will be addressed, why they are important and interesting, and what the researchers expect to learn from answering these questions.

·       Research design and methodology, including a detailed description of study design, data sources/collection procedures, experiments to be run (if applicable), modeling techniques to be used (if applicable), and any other relevant details. Methodological details will play a crucial role in the evaluation process, and the proposed research should be feasible.

The form of the proposal is as follows:

1.       Title Page–includes the title of the project from the RFP, the names of the  prepares of the proposal, and contact information who the proposal is being prepared  for and the date

2.       Background of the Problem including literature review

3.       Statement of the Research Objectives–usually stated in the RFP–if not they must  be determined as described

4.       Study Design–a statement of how the data will be gathered and who will be sampled and the sample size

5.       Areas of Questioning–not found in all proposals–however, it may be helpful and is a tentative list of survey topics based on the research objectives

6.       Data Analysis–which techniques will be used to analyze the data

7.       Personnel Involved–provides a list of all people involved in the project and short  vita of each (You may enter a place for this on your paper and say that details will come later)

8.       Specifications and Assumptions–If you have any. If not, you may say that they will be discussed with the potential client.

9.       Services–spell out exactly what the research supplier will do (or you may enter a place for this in the paper and say that the details will come later)

10.    Cost–specify the cost and payment schedule (You may estimate this or you may enter a place for it in the paper and say that it has yet to be determined).

11.    Timing–state when various phases of the project will be completed
