Reading and Resources
Required Resources
Textbook: Research Methods for Business: A Skill-Building Approach, Chapter 17 Chapter 17 will cover one of the most important elements when conducting research: presenting the findings in a clear, concise research report. This chapter will present the critical elements of the research report. At the conclusion of the chapter, three examples are provided for guidance. Be sure to review these examples, as they will help guide you in developing your final research project in Module Nine. As you read each chapter, consider the following questions:
- What are the similarities and differences between basic and applied research reports?
- How have technological advancements helped in writing and presenting research reports?
- Why is it necessary to specify the limitations of the study in the research report?
- What aspects of a class research project would be stressed by you in the written report and in the oral presentation?

In Module Seven, you will develop two of the final pieces of your research report by adding the data analysis and conclusions sections. Using the information from the text and feedback from the Module Six discussion topic, you will conduct and present data analysis in Milestone Three. As you develop the data analysis plan, you will begin to explore an important aspect of the research: the final research report that communicates the findings to all stakeholders.
The intent of the research report is to communicate the methods (how you conducted the research) and the results or actions required based on your findings (Sekaran & Bougie, 2016). The report tells the stakeholder the “story” of the research from the problem statement to the conclusions, thus the report will have clear phases presenting important research information. The assigned readings will present all elements of the report and will provide examples for guidance as you develop your final report. An additional discussion is presented on the oral presentation of the report. While this is not required as an exercise in this course, presenting the report to a group of stakeholders (managers, your boss, etc.) is a typical exercise in a business setting.
