RES 351 Week 3 Learning Team Assignment – Preparing to Conduct Business Research: Part 1

Select an issue, opportunity, or problem facing your organization which could be answered with quantitative research.

Write a 700- to 1,050-wordpaper that addresses the following questions with quantitative research:

·         What are the research questions?

·         What are the hypotheses?

·         What variables are to be considered?

·         What ethical considerations must you take into account?

Discuss the significance, scope, magnitude and feasibility of finding a solution to the issue, opportunity, or problem.

Define the purpose of the research. This is NOT an essay. It is the beginning of a proposal to perform research according to the research process. It is strongly suggested that you use each step of the research process up to the level required this week as subheadings in your paper for an outline. To see the entire scope of the final project, read the learning team assignments for Weeks 4 and 5 together with this Week 3 assignment.
