Dear writer, together with you I would like to write my research proposal for the course Diversity in Entrepreneurship. My research question:(What are the most effective strategies for female intrapreneurs to overcome the challenges they face and achieve success?) is rather quantitative in nature and needs to define success. Most importantly here is the connection of women and intrapreneurship/corporate entrepreneurship. In the following I have the tasks descriiption:
Task descriiption
Individually, you are going to write a research proposal of 2500 words + references. This must be submitted on Tuesday 24th October at 23:59 the latest.
Throughout this course, you will read various academic articles and get familiarised with various topics related to diversity in entrepreneurship. However, as you may realise while reading academic literature, several areas within these topics remain underexplored and in need of further investigation. Based on the insights that you will develop in this course and your personal interest; you will be asked to write an academic research proposal in an area related to diversity in entrepreneurship. In essence, a research proposal is a document that explains what you will investigate (research question / problem statement), why it is worth doing research about it (justification), how you plan to carry out the investigation (methodology), and what are the expected contributions of this investigation (conclusion). Note that the focus of the task is to develop a research proposal, therefore carrying out the actual empirical study is not expected within the scope of this assignment.
Below you will find five questions that your research proposal should have an answer to, and the recommended structure and minimum sections that your proposal should have. Out of these five questions I want you to write the Methodology please:
In this section, you will explain the research approach you intend to adopt (you can propose either a quantitative or qualitative methodology) and articulate the reasoning behind your choice. Subsequently, you will delineate the specific methods you will employ to tackle the research question at hand. It is essential to substantiate why this chosen approach and these particular methods are the most suitable for your study, and to explain how you intend to utilize them in the research process. We advise supporting your rationale with references to relevant methodology literature.
answering which broad empirical approach – qualitative or quantitative research – makes most sense, and why? What methods will you use, and what can you tell us about possible data sources (e.g., which database in case of secondary data, which participants will take part in your study in case of primary data (interview/survey data), how will you get in contact with participant, etc.)? Make sure to use academic methodology literature to justify your approach and to convince the reader that the empirical study is feasible.
references should be in the APA7 style.
And in the following are further instructions:
Guidelines for the research proposal
