DUE BY ASSIGNMENT 4 DUE DATE

In this assignment, you are asked to create 4-5 questions that you want to ask the literature. These questions will become your team’s research questions.

In Summary, for Assignment 4:

1. Based on the information you have to date, the Process Notes in Module 4, and the Professional Focus your team has chosen, what do you want to know?

2. Create 4-5 questions. Use PRIMARY (ie professionals in your chosen field) and SECONDARY SOURCES (Journal articles, books, Websites, etc) to answer the research questions. You may be asking at this point-How do I record my data? How do I format what is told me about the organization? Remember you are doing research and analysis. Record your findings and present it in your Week of Management Presentation and Final paper as supporting evidence for your analysis. These questions can serve as your questionnaire.

3. Discuss the delegation of tasks. In short, who will do what? Who will research the websites and secondary information to find the answers? How will the data be compiled? How will the information be formatted for the Week of Management Presentation? How will you present it to your classmates during your assigned week of management?

4. Each team member must submit the team’s research questions to the

box (formerly Dropbox) on or before the due date.

Scholarly Hint:

Secondary Sources– The following format is recommended to record your findings when you ask the literature or websites:

• Create your questions,
• Use study tools online research under References and Resources on the home page,
• Identify 5-7 sources,
• Read the sources and extract answers to your questions,
• Analyze the information,
• Identify patterns,
• Incorporate the information into your paper.

Suggestions for developing your questionnaire:

• Arrange the items in a logical sequence.
• Ask for factual information, numbers, artifacts if appropriate to support the responses.
• Avoid words with imprecise or vague meanings (i.e. several, many, usually, interesting, ok, etc.).
• Avoid questions that may be threatening or awkward (i.e. if you have doubts -don’t ask it.)
• Design questions that are easy to answer and tabulate the numbers i.e. use Likert scales 1(AWFUL) 2(AVERAGE) 3(AWESOME).
