their prior academic and practical experience
in order to research a management or
organisational problem with methodological
rigour. Consequently, course members will be
expected to design a research project that

organisational problem. They will be expected
to select and justify an appropriate
methodology and develop valid, ethical and
reliable research methods appropriate to the
context of their application. From this they will
be expected to evaluate the findings of their
research in order to generate robust
conclusions and workable recommendations.
