Research Methods and Dissertation

Module code: MN7063

The aim of a dissertation is to produce an original piece of research using primary or secondary data, together with an appropriate methodology and data analysis framework.  You will be expected to critically discuss the research findings and, from the explanatory data generated, formulate practical recommendations for organisations.  The outcome of this process will be a written piece of work which displays critical thought, effective insights and, where appropriate, originality, to fill a gap in the extant research literature.

During this process, you will review and reflect on the research that you are carrying out, displaying awareness of both of the limitations of the project and any attendant ethical issues.
