Memo: business Research Paper Proposal
1. Pay particular attention to the primary data and secondary data. The final business research report must have a significant primary research component.
2. In memo format discuss your preliminary plans for your business research report. This proposal should include information related to a narrow and specific aspect of a business-related subject. A focus in the area of your intended occupation or career is preferred. No subject should be considered too small. For example, the topics below would be acceptable:
- Customer service standards
- Dress codes
- Ethics and Code of Conduct manuals
- Dating in the workplace
- Roadside trash pickups
- Workplace bloodmobiles
- Corporate Social Responsibility
- Workplace recycling
3. The primary data collection method(s) you intend to use (questionnaires, interviews, and/or observations) need to be discussed in some detail.
4. How much time do you expect the data collection to take? This is usually expressed in days or weeks.
