Course Module: Research Methodology
Type of Paper: Summative Assignment
You are asked to choose a topic in the area of healthcare for this assignment and produce a report , which consists of three activities:
(Note: the same reasearch topic will be used for the final dissertation paper)
Section 1. Please provide a detailed critique of at least two well-used research methodologies.
Section 2. Please construct a research instrument that could be used to collect data in your capstone project.
You will not be collecting any data – just designing the tool.
Section 3. Please reflect upon the audience and critical aspects of research dissemination in the specific
context of your potential research findings and outcomes from the developed instrument.
—————————————
Section 1: Comparing two research methodologies
Select a topic of interest or business problem relevant to your degree specialism (i.e. Healthcare)
This will require some preliminary research into that specific area.
Provide the following subsections and address the following tasks for the chosen business problem:
1.1 Research problem
Short explanation of the research problem and the particular question that you would want to study (about 150 words).
1.2 Selected key readings
An introduction that provides a brief commentary of key relevant literature. Be sure to justify your choice of these references in introducing the existing knowledge on your topic (about 500 words).
Attach a full visual presentation such as a mind map, a Venn diagram, or a grandfather, father, son literature map in the report’s appendix to show the scope of your review of literature. That visual presentation will be considered when marking together with your brief commentary.
1.3 Two appropriate research methods
A detailed critique of at least two well-used research methodologies in the literature you have reviewed. Discuss a) how they are applied; b) how the methods were deployed to provide a worthwhile contribution to theory and research and c) what gaps the methods may leave that could lend the area to further analysis
Discuss pros and cons of methods in the context of the proposed research question / research problem; and demonstrate full awareness of constraints and limitations deriving from investigation (about 1,500 words).

Section 2: Instrument and Conclusions
Provide the following subsections and address the following tasks for the chosen business problem:
2.1 Instrument • Provide the details of a proposed research instrument such as, an interview guide, survey questionnaire, or other appropriate instruments. Provide this as an appendix to your report.
• Write 500 words of reflection, regarding how you have designed the
instrument and why the way you did. The instrument is only for illustrative purposes and does not necessarily have to be complete.
2.2 Conclusions Concluding evaluation of instrument’s expected value for the research question(s) that you consider worthy of further investigation, and reflective by taking section 1 into account (about 350 words).
2.3 Bibliography (covers section 1 and 2) Containing a minimum of 12 references to relevant journal articles from good academic sources, including at least 6 published in the last 24 months and all cited in your analysis (*recommended). Please include all references
referred to in section one and two here. Note that the references listed in the full visual presentation (see subsection 1.2) must also be included here.

Section 3: Research Dissemination
Provide the following subsections and address the following tasks for the chosen business problem:
3.1 Relevance and audience
Briefly explain who and why may be the right audience for implementing the potential findings from the suggested research (about 200 words).
3.2 Communication of research
Reflect what kind of summarising, media, and design of the report would be needed to disseminate the outcomes properly and most effectively. Who could be partners in public organisations, NGOs, associations, or industry? (about 200 words)
