Download or read book HOW TO WRITE A RESEARCH PROPOSAL A GUIDE FOR BUSINESS STUDENTS written by YORK PUBLISHING SERVICES LTD and published by JEG Erudite Projects. This book was released on 2023-12-16 with total page 31 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: BOOK DESCRIPTION “Constantly evolving trends in research design have a direct influence on the writing of proposals for research work. As the proposal is essentially a blueprint for an intended project and a smooth flow of project implementation, this new book is a short, fast, easy-go-to guide to give your proposal the needed scientific appeal. The manuscript was built on a research methodology paper that was judged the best in an MBA cohort of over 200 international students at the London School of Commerce/Cardiff Metropolitan University, United Kingdom. For students who are preparing for the Final Project Module and for the development of research skills, this book provides guidelines on how to identify issues, apply appropriate thoughts, and emerge with interesting research ideas as the author did. Specifically for the development of a business research proposal and communication, the reader is also guided in terms of understanding, application, and analysis of theory” - Dr. Akinyinka Akinyoade, Senior Researcher and Chair of the Researchers' Assembly of the African Studies Centre Leiden, The Netherlands. "This book has been able to introduce the rudimentary guidelines of writing a research proposal. Now it is up to you to make yours more innovative than what has been emphasized here. As stated by Peter Drucker, the father of modern business management, "Innovation is the specific instrument of entrepreneurship - the act that endows resources with a new capacity to create wealth." In this case, your innovative research proposal can produce a wealth of knowledge that is useful to you and the society at large" - Grace Eleojo Abalaka (Author).

Book excerpt: The definitive career guide for grad students, adjuncts, post-docs and anyone else eager to get tenure or turn their Ph.D. into their ideal job Each year tens of thousands of students will, after years of hard work and enormous amounts of money, earn their Ph.D. And each year only a small percentage of them will land a job that justifies and rewards their investment. For every comfortably tenured professor or well-paid former academic, there are countless underpaid and overworked adjuncts, and many more who simply give up in frustration. Those who do make it share an important asset that separates them from the pack: they have a plan. They understand exactly what they need to do to set themselves up for success. They know what really moves the needle in academic job searches, how to avoid the all-too-common mistakes that sink so many of their peers, and how to decide when to point their Ph.D. toward other, non-academic options. Karen Kelsky has made it her mission to help readers join the select few who get the most out of their Ph.D. As a former tenured professor and department head who oversaw numerous academic job searches, she knows from experience exactly what gets an academic applicant a job. And as the creator of the popular and widely respected advice site The Professor is In, she has helped countless Ph.D.’s turn themselves into stronger applicants and land their dream careers. Now, for the first time ever, Karen has poured all her best advice into a single handy guide that addresses the most important issues facing any Ph.D., including: -When, where, and what to publish -Writing a foolproof grant application -Cultivating references and crafting the perfect CV -Acing the job talk and campus interview -Avoiding the adjunct trap -Making the leap to nonacademic work, when the time is right The Professor Is In addresses all of these issues, and many more.

Book excerpt: This book is a starter ′DIY′ text for practitioners who are looking to conduct evaluation studies and research as part of their own professional practice. The growing emphasis on evidence-based practice means that there is an increasing need for practitioners to have at least a basic understanding of research, be aware of methodological pitfalls and to be updated on new methods. This book provides a practical, user-friendly guide to social science research methods for professionals who have benefited from little, if any, formal research methods training but find themselves in a role that requires them to read and understand complex research findings and carry out their own research as part of their professional practice.

Many in this market are non-graduates or are those whose study did not contain a research element, but are required to know how research works. This book has three main aims which will benefit this audience - to enable readers to carry out small-scale research projects of their own, provide them with the basic understanding necessary to commission research, and enable them to better understand and evaluate critically research reports. This book is designed specifically for ′Do-it-Yourself′ researchers working in the public or voluntary sectors. It is accessible and relevant to practitioners, uses non-technical language wherever possible and employs grounded examples, practical tips, checklists and readings lists throughout.
