\u00b7       <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>Organisation\/sector background: Include financial and other company\/sector information to give the reader the essential background to be able to understand the context of the <\/span><\/span>report.<\/p>\n

\u00b7       <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>Problem statement: Highlight the strategic challenge that you are looking to review, what <\/span><\/span>has <\/span><\/span>happened <\/span><\/span>and<\/span>what <\/span><\/span>needs <\/span><\/span>to <\/span><\/span>be <\/span><\/span>resolved. <\/span><\/span>Why <\/span><\/span>is <\/span><\/span>this <\/span><\/span>report <\/span><\/span>important <\/span><\/span>to <\/span><\/span>the company and\/or sector and how might your analysis and recommendations be used in the <\/span><\/span>future?<\/p>\n

\u00b7       <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>Aim and objectives: Your aim should set out in one sentence what your research was trying to achieve overall, using clear, simple English.

 <\/p>\n

Section 2. Background Research (c3500 words)<\/h3>\n

 <\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

This section should set out the background research you have done on the problem \/ issue \/ opportunity. Typically, your background research will be based partly on an analysis of secondary <\/span><\/span>data <\/span><\/span>from <\/span><\/span>the <\/span><\/span>organisation <\/span><\/span>itself <\/span><\/span>– <\/span><\/span>for<\/span>instance, <\/span><\/span>management <\/span><\/span>accounts, <\/span><\/span>staff <\/span><\/span>survey results, training feedback forms or web analytics data. This will normally be combined with a literature review. Sometimes there may not be sufficient data, or you may not be able to gain access to a specific organisation. Under such circumstances the background research will take the <\/span>form <\/span><\/span>of a literature review <\/span><\/span>alone.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The literature review element of this section has two main purposes:<\/p>\n

\u00b7       <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>To find information which will directly help address your chosen problem \/ issue \/ opportunity <\/span><\/span>(e.g. <\/span><\/span>by <\/span><\/span>identifying<\/span>a <\/span><\/span>specific <\/span><\/span>change <\/span><\/span>that <\/span><\/span>might <\/span><\/span>help <\/span><\/span>the <\/span><\/span>organisation, <\/span><\/span>such as identifying what is regarded as best practice <\/span>in <\/span><\/span>HR terms when implementing a major organisational change); <\/span><\/span>and\/or<\/p>\n

\u00b7       <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>To guide your primary research (e.g. by identifying key questions that need to be followed up, such as identifying the key areas to be covered when measuring customers’ perceptions of the organisation’s <\/span><\/span>brand).<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Section 3. Method Justification and Explanation (c1500 words)<\/h3>\n

 <\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

This section should briefly describe your primary research method(s) and then justify your chosen method(s).1<\/sup> <\/span>In other words, what are the advantages of the proposed method(s) in your specific case and, where there are potential disadvantages of the method(s), why are these not so important or how did you minimise them through a good research design. It is <\/span>not<\/u> <\/span>necessary to discuss the underlying research philosophy, methods of reasoning etc. \u2013 whilst your research method needs to be soundly based, the purpose of the Consultancy Project Report is essentially applied and practical.<\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

The section should then explain the primary data collection and analysis techniques that you used when undertaking your primary research, so that the reader can see that your results are likely to be valid. The section should typically include:<\/p>\n

\u00b7       <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>Access – how you gained access to the organisation or why consent was not <\/span><\/span>needed<\/p>\n

\u00b7       <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>Sampling method and sample <\/span><\/span>size<\/p>\n

\u00b7       <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>Primary data collection instrument used \u2013 a clean copy of your questionnaire or interview questions should be included as an <\/span><\/span>appendix<\/p>\n

\u00b7       <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>Data collection administration – how you went about conducting your questionnaire survey or your <\/span><\/span>interviews<\/p>\n

\u00b7       <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>Data analysis approach – how you went about analysing the collected <\/span><\/span>data<\/p>\n

\u00b7       <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>Ethical <\/span><\/span>issues <\/span><\/span>relevant <\/span><\/span>to <\/span><\/span>the <\/span><\/span>research- <\/span><\/span>what <\/span><\/span>these <\/span><\/span>were <\/span><\/span>and <\/span><\/span>how <\/span><\/span>you <\/span><\/span>addressed <\/span><\/span>them. <\/span>You must complete a University of Chichester ethical approval form before any data collection takes <\/span><\/span>place.<\/u><\/p>\n
