Clearly identify your chosen topic, having carried out some basic review of available secondary data to secure your interest (at least 3 academic articles, plus a business report, and a relevant current news item). Indicate the Research Problem, as you see it

This unit aims to give you an opportunity to combine many facets of your acquired MBA skills into
the production of a high-quality research project.
Assignment 1 – the Topic Approval – is to ensure you have given sufficient thought to the topic you
are choosing to base your research project on. You will ideally work with a group consisting of 2 or
3 class-mates. Your respective contributions will be governed by the Team Charter, which is a
document you will produce at the same time as your Topic Approval submission. The Team Charter
is to indicate, essentially, what roles will be played by each member of the team.
Your lecturer will LEAD and FACILITATE you through the process, week by week. The learning will be
progressive, so for best results you will need to be in weekly contact with your lecturer during class
time at your campus.
