Presenting your research proposal is quite important part of writing the research. Often students ask how should be the skeleton of the dissertation proposal. So here I am presenting how a proposal structure should be!!
Proposal Structure
• Working Title
• Background
– Importance of research
– Literature scope
– Where your project fits within literature
• Research Question
– Objectives
• Methodology
• Research Plan
• Timescales
• Resources
– Contingency plan
• References
Working Title
• E.g. “Why do complex change projects continue to fail?”
– What academic subject that you are studying supports this research?
– What is the scope of what I am trying to achieve?
– What will this not include?
Research Question
• For example:
Research Questions:
Why do complex information systems projects continue to ‘fail’ or be ‘challenged’.
Objectives:
– Synthesize reasons for failure in literature
– Synthesize reasons for success
– Gather evidence of how to avoid failure
Gantt charts
• Needs to be one in your proposal
• You compile it so its your estimate
• You need to use it to monitor your progress
• Your supervisor will also use it to monitor your progress
• It needs to be REALISTIC
