DOC600 Introduction to Doctoral Studies and Research Methods in Business

Module 4 Case

OVERVIEW OF
METHODS IN BUSINESS RESEARCH

Assignment
Overview

In this
assignment we will evaluate qualitative research methods in more depth. In the
previous case assignment, you were expected to compare and contrast qualitative
and quantitative methodologies, as well as mixed method. In this Case
Assignment, you will evaluate in more detail the purpose, distinctive features,
advantages, and disadvantages of two out of the four qualitative research
methods in business research and sample populations described in the Module
Overview.

Case
Assignment

After
reading the required background material and finding at least two other
resources on your own, write a 5- to 7-page paper discussing the topic:

Qualitative
Research Methods and Data Collection Techniques

In your
paper, you should answer the following questions using your own evaluation and
critical thinking.

Explain the
purpose, features, advantages, disadvantages, sample populations, and examples
in business research of TWO of the four qualitative research methods used in
business research.

Explain TWO
data collection techniques of your choice. Examples of data collection techniques
or source of evidence are interviews, participant observation and fieldwork,
direct observations, using documents or archival records.

If you were
to conduct research, which qualitative research method and which data
collection technique would you prefer to use and why?

Assignment
Expectations

Length: The
written component of this assignment should be 5-7 pages long (double-spaced)
without counting the cover page and reference page.

Organization:
Subheadings should be used to organize your paper according to the questions.

Grammar and
Spelling: While no points are deducted for minor errors, assignments are
expected to adhere to standard guidelines of grammar, spelling, punctuation,
and sentence syntax. Points may be deducted if grammar and spelling impact
clarity. We encourage you to use tools such as grammarly.com and proofread your
paper before submission.

As you
complete your assignment, make sure you do the following:

Answer the
assignment questions directly.

Stay
focused on the precise assignment questions. Do not go off on tangents or
devote a lot of space to summarizing general background materials.

Use
evidence from your readings to justify your conclusions.

Be sure to
cite at least five credible resources.

Make sure
to reference your sources of information with both a bibliography and in-text
citations. See the Student Guide to Writing a High-Quality Academic Paper,

OVERVIEW OF
METHODS IN BUSINESS RESEARCH

As you
address the components of the mini-proposal outlined below, pretend you are
writing this document for committee members of your doctoral project. Provide
enough detail to indicate that you have given each step of the research process
serious consideration. Prepare a PowerPoint presentation of your mini-proposal
with the following components:

Title:
Provide a title for your proposal.

Rationale:
Identify the topic and describe why this study is needed for a given
organization (include a justification of the importance of your topic either
from empirical evidence or literature).

Research
Question(s): Identify one or two research questions based on the rationale.

Literature
Review: What topics would have to be covered in your literature review? (Just
list the topics.) List business theories that would be relevant to this study.
Explain why they would be relevant.

Methodology:
Discuss the research design (e.g., qualitative case study, quantitative survey,
action/evaluation research) that would be appropriate to answer your research
question(s). Who would be the participants? What would be the procedures for
data collection and analysis?

Significance:
Discuss how your research would help the organization and who would benefit.
