Order Description
The following is business scenario related to managing an investigative project. You must read scenario and write your project about it. You can make further
assumptions about the case study, but these need to be clearly acknowledged:
You are currently working in an organisation reporting directly to the board of directors. There has been some transformation in the company and the board needs to
decide if it is strategically viable to appoint the chief executive officer (CEO) as the president of the board of directors.
There might be compelling reasons to think this could be a good idea and the dual role would mean that there is greater efficiency and consistency between the goals of
the board and its CEO. On the other hand, the dual role might represent a conflict of interest and not lead to optimal performance of the company.
To make this decision, the board of directors has asked you to conduct a business investigation, providing objective data and information.
the project must contain:
Introduction: Set context for research; clearly explains what the study is about (business problem/issue); provides outline of organization / sector being researched;
and provides precisely written research question(s) and objectives
Literature: Provides academic / theoretical underpinning for research by providing a general overview of relevant literature; justifies literature in relation to
research question(s); clearly links literature to objectives; incorporates cuMethodology / Research Design: Justifies overall methodological approach and selection of
specific research method(s); links selection to research question(s) and constraints associated with conducting research; demonstrates knowledge of strengths and
weaknesses of methods; business research ethics consideration
Conclusions: Brief overview of expected outcomes linked to research question(s)
