BUS 642 Week 5 Assignment Research Project (2 Papers) BUS 642 Week 5 DQ Statistical Analysis BUS 642 Week 6 DQ Presenting Results BUS 642 Week 6 Assignment Research Project (2 Papers) ***************************************************** BUS 642 Week 1 Assignment Research Project (2 Papers) For more course tutorials visit www.tutorialrank.com This Tutorial contains 2 Different Projects Research Project – Week One. Each week’s assignment in this class will lead up to the final research project in Week Six. Before you work on Week One’s assignment, preview the “Research Project" in Week Six so you understand the final outcome of this project. Also read this week’s lecture. If you are having a difficult time choosing your topic, please contact your instructor before the assignment is due for assistance. In a one-to two-page paper (not including the title and reference pages), provide the following for your research project:

  3. 1. Background information about your research project (e.g., why have you decided to do this research?). 2. The management dilemma. (e.g., what is the problem you are trying to solve with this research?) 3. The research question and a hypothesis. 4. d. A brief summary of previously conducted scholarly research on similar topics that you can find through the Library. Your paper must be formatted according to APA style as outlined in the Center and it must include citations and references for the text and at least two scholarly sources from the Library that you used as background research. ***************************************************** BUS 642 Week 1 DQ 1 Scientific Thinking For more course tutorials visit www.tutorialrank.com Scientific Thinking. Reference this week’s lecture to develop a research question and a hypothesis for a hypothetical business problem of your choice. Explain the management dilemma, or the business problem that the research

  4. would attempt to solve. Your research question must relate to the business reason for the research. For example, “Why have sales of used cars been declining at a rate of 5% per month since July 2012 at Smith Motors?” is a research question because you can investigate it with research. A hypothesis must state an “educated guess” about why you think something is happening; think about cause and effect. For example, “Sales are declining at Smith Motors due to road construction around our dealership” is a hypothesis because it offers a possible cause for the problem. “Sales are declining at Smith Motors” is NOT a hypothesis because it doesn’t offer a possible cause for the problem.
