Introduction

(Chapter 1 - 400 words) – In this section you will frame your research topic. You will set out the main reasons why your chosen topic is worth researching and what you hope to achieve. How will your research focus make a contribution to the business context (i.e. a company’s goals) and the existing literature? This should be followed by the main research question/project aim. This will be in the form of 3 SMART objectives to narrow the focus. This should be followed by a brief description of what the upcoming chapters will be about, your research approach and your key conclusion.

Literature review

(Chapter 2 -1000 words) – You should critically review the literature relevant to the objectives of the project. This will involve a concern for both seminal and contemporary literature, with alternative perspectives outlined and controversies discussed.

Research Methods

(Chapter 3 – 600 words) - Here, you will discuss the research methods used. This will involve a discussion of qualitative or quantitative research, sampling, reliability and validity, analysis of data and limitations of the research method used. Secondary research may be used such as company reports, company web sites, and newspaper and journal articles. It is important that you comment on the validity and reliability of such data. It is also important that ethical issues in researching and managing your project are also considered.

Synthesis of the Findings / Discussion

(Chapter 4 -1000 words). Here, you will present your key findings. If you are doing quantitative analysis, you will present and analyse your statistics. You may also include graphs, charts and tables to support your arguments. Each graph, chart and table must be numbered and clearly titled. Each should be about half a page and be clear for the reader to see. If you are doing qualitative analysis, extracts from the interviews you conducted should be presented (these should be in italics and in “speech marks”) to highlight the themes that will be evident from the interviews.

When writing up you must ‘synthesize’ the above findings. This requires you to critically analyse them with reference to the existing literature and in relation to your project aim and objectives. The key to achieving success is to ensure that you contextualise your discussion with reference to the literature that supports your arguments.

Conclusion

(Chapter 5 - 250 words). This chapter will include recommendations in terms of HR implications based on your research findings.

You will also be submitting a 750 word reflection on your professional employability skills
