Assignment 1 Literature Review

MBA 5652, Research Methods

Textbook: Creswell, J. W., & Creswell, J. D. (2018). Research design: Qualitative, quantitative, and mixed methods approaches (5th ed.). SAGE. https://online.vitalsource.com/#/books/9781506386690

2 pages

Within this course you will submit parts of a research paper in each unit that will come together in Unit VII as the complete project. Review the   Course Project Guidance  document, which outlines all of the work you will submit for the course and provides a template for the final paper. Reviewing the document will provide insight and mental preparation for the scope of the course since the assignments will build upon one another. It also introduces the scenario you will utilize for every assignment in this course. Review the   Sun Coast Remediation Data Files  document. This document will be the source of data for your project, however, you will not begin working with the data until Unit IV. Note: The template provided is for the Unit VII Research Paper; you will submit parts of this paper in each unit. See the templates in each unit assignment.

For the Unit I assignment, you will use what you learned about research methodologies, primary and secondary sources, and reviewing literature to develop a literature review. This literature review will become part of the final course project due in Unit VII. Please access and utilize the   template for this assignment  . ** Template is below**

Review articles in the CSU Online Library databases and other credible resources to locate six peer-reviewed, scholarly articles that relate to the Sun Coast business problems identified in the Course Project Guidance document. The articles you use should help inform your knowledge about the issues you are trying to solve for Sun Coast. The articles should also be quantitative research articles from primary and secondary sources. Try including words like correlation, regression, t test, and ANOVA in your keyword search criteria.

The article discussion should include the qualifications of the authors, purpose of the studies, research methodologies and designs used, results from the studies, and explanations of how the articles relate to Sun Coast’s problem. Ensure that you also describe how you believe the research made a positive organizational impact.

The title and reference pages do not count toward the page requirement for this assignment. This assignment should be a minimum of two pages in length, follow APA-style formatting and guidelines, and use references and citations as necessary.

Assignment 2

For this assignment, you will define the research objectives and develop the research questions and hypotheses to set the stage for the Sun Coast Remediation research project.

You will utilize this   Unit II template  to complete the Unit II assignment. **Template below**

Be sure to include the following sections in your submission, and remember to use APA-formatted section headings and subheadings. 

· Research objectives: Refer to the Introduction and Statement of Problems sections provided in the Unit II Assignment Template to make explicit statements as to the objectives of this study. For example, “One objective of this research study is to determine the direction (either positive or negative) and the strength of relationships between ABC Company’s various consumer promotions and sales revenue. This objective is intended to determine which promotions may be more effective and strategically important.” Research objectives should be discussed for each problem identified.

· Research questions and hypotheses: Provide research questions and null and alternative hypotheses that align with the research objectives and problems. For example:

. RQ1: What is the relationship between Promotion 1 and sales revenue?

1. Ho1 (null hypothesis): There is no statistically significant correlation between Promotion 1 (independent variable) and sales revenue (dependent variable).

1. Ha1 (alternative hypothesis): There is a statistically significant correlation between Promotion 1 and sales revenue.

. RQ2: What is the relationship between Promotion 2 and sales revenue?

2. Ho2: There is no statistically significant correlation between Promotion 2 and sales revenue.

2. Ha2: There is a statistically significant correlation between Promotion 2 and sales revenue.

. RQ3: Are there differences in return on investment (ROI) between the various promotions?

3. Ho3: There are no statistically significant differences in ROI between Promotion 1 and Promotion 2.

3. Ha3: There are statistically significant differences in ROI between Promotion 1 and Promotion 2.

Research Objectives,Research Questions,and Hypotheses

After providing a brief introduction to this section, students should include research objectives, research questions, and hypotheses here. There should be 1 research objective, 1 research question, and 2 hypotheses (both a null and alternative) for each of the 6 problems described in the Statement of Problems section of the Course Project Guidance document.

Students should compose 6 short, direct, statements about the objectives of the study. Research objectives should relate directly to the 6 problems that have been describedin the Statement of Problems and there should be 1 objective for each problem.

Each research objective should also have a corresponding research question and a null and alternative hypothesis as shown in the example below. Research questions and hypotheses should specifically state the variables being measured.

In total, there should be 6 research objectives, 6 research questions, and 12 hypotheses as shown below in the template.

Important Note: Students should refer to the information presented in the Unit II syllabus instructions to complete this section of the project. Delete instructions and examples highlighted in yellow before submitting this assignment.

Example:

RO1:Determine if a person’s height is related to weight.

RQ1: Is there a relationship between height and weight?

Ho1:There is no statistically significant relationship between height and weight.

Ha1: There is a statistically significant relationship between height and weight.
