Assessment type: Written Thesis – Group report - 5000 – 7000 words excluding title page, reference list and attachments.
Note: While this appears to be a large assessment, much of the content will have already been completed in either BUS707 Applied Business Research or as Assessment 1 of this subject.
Purpose: This assessment is designed to allow students to implement the research proposed in the Research Proposal developed in BUS707 Applied Business Research, collect and analyse data, and draw conclusions and make recommendations if relevant. Students will communicate their research in a professionally presented document. This assessment relates to learning outcomes a, b and c.
Value: 60% Due: Week 11, Midnight 12:00pm Thursday.
Submission: Upload a soft copy to Moodle and Turnitin via Moodle links.
Task Details: Conduct the research, present findings and draw conclusions. Communicate all information in a written thesis of 5000 – 7000 words.
Using the refined and tested data collection method(s) identified in Assessment 1, students will collect and analyse data. Draw conclusions and make recommendations if relevant regarding the implications for the research question(s), and identify future directions. Students should make any recommended adjustments to the data collection method(s) refined and tested in Assessment 1, based on feedback provided, prior to including it in this assessment.
The Research Proposal from BUS707, with relevant revisions based on feedback provided, will form Sections 2 to 6 inclusive of your final written thesis. Assessment 1 (summarised) will form part of Section 7 of your thesis.
