Research Paper
Instruction for theory development research paper (Basic Model and Literature Review)
1) A paper (5 pages, double space, font 12, APA format) that lays out a proposed conceptual model that includes the construct.
2) My construct is “Factors influencing to outsourcing for the Architectural and Engineering firms”. The proposed theoretical model is shown in Figure 1.
3) The paper will include a discussion of any existing theory base(s) that can explain important linkages in your model as well as a literature review of key research that supports your model. I am using 2 theories to support the proposed theoretical model. The first theory is Transaction Cost theory. The second is resource-based view. You are welcomed to introduce additional theories but I do want to use the above 2 theories at the minimum.
4) Please use the Articles that I have chosen from Google scholar as attachments (Two zip files). You can use your articles as well but please inform me so we can cite the articles properly.
