Title indicates the name of theresearch proposalIt should be Short but descriptiveUnambiguousAvoid fillersAvoid jargons
It help the reader to get an overview of the topic
Introduction should be short about one or two pages
It should briefly :-• Re-establish the topic of research• Give research problem and main
objective of the research• Indicate the methodology used• Present the main finding and conclusion
The problem statement describes the issue exists in theory that leads to need for study.
The 5W’s can be used to spark the discussion about the problem.
• Clear and Specific• Too many objectives to be avoided• Even just one clearly stated relevant
objective for a study would be good enough
• If there is more than one objective the objectives can be presented in the appropriate order of importance
It provides the background and context forresearch problem.
The purpose is to convey to the readerwhat knowledge and ideas have beenestablished on a topic, and what theirstrengths and weaknesses are.
The literature review must be defined by aguiding concept (e.g. your researchobjective, the problem you are discussing).For example:-• Sharma,(2014),Social media and its impact
on consumer behaviour,• Sharma & Kumar,(2013),• Sharma et.al,(2012),
Research methodology is a way to systematically solve the research problem. It includes:-Research designSample selectionSample technique Source of data
It is the process of systematically applyinglogical techniques to describe the researchdata.
The following table is an example of howto arrange data for content analysis:-
The last main division of a discourse,usually containing a summing up of thepoints and a statement of opinion ordecisions reached.
List all references cited in proposal. Make sure these references are :-• Relevant• Original source• For example:-
