  • Inclined toward social issue or issue more appropriate for a different discipline (i.e., psychology, sociology, education, etc.)
  • Does not clearly identify the problem
  • Often confused with the research question(s)
  • The business problem is “What is the relationship between…”?
  • The business problem is “What strategies do business leaders need to…”?
  • Does not demonstrate need to read/study further
  • No data-driven anchor (no numbers supported by citations)
  • More that 150 words
