Introduction
In this course, we advance master’s level research and provide a greater focus on practice. The notion of “becoming” a critically reflective scholarly practitioner gains momentum and we explore a range of research skills that are needed to understand, evaluate and critique research approaches and techniques.
The course is delivered from an insider-researcher perspective that supports the researching of and planning for, a complex practice-based problem. Research design and analysis of quantitative and qualitative data will be introduced, to provide “tools” that facilitate both the critical appraisal of others’ work and their application within an individual research proposal.
These materials, along with those of the previous course, provide the foundation for undertaking a proposal for a business solutions project in the next and final course on the MBA (Global) programme.
This course will focus on five main themes:
