Research in Business and Management
Project description
This Assignment is designed so that you can demonstrate these learning outcomes:
1. Frame a research topic
2. Construct a literature review
WORD COUNT : 1500
I am asking you to write a critical review of literature on one of two set topics. The critical review is a stage that precedes any piece of academic research. It surveys, in a focused way, the available writing and research, in order to establish what is known and what is not known about the subject. This wider knowledge is important in helping you to design your own research project.
Details of the task
You should produce a critical review of literature based on one of the following topic areas:
1. Women have to overcome organisational hazards if they wish to succeed in their careers.
OR
2. Degree outcome for students is a function of their intrinsic characteristics and
learning abilities.
NB. I want you to develop your own more focused title or research question, so read the following guidance note before starting your literature review.
Your objective in this critical literature review is to survey the literature on one of these topics. However, it is up to you to find your own focus for the review. You might explore your own interests, focus on specific issue or a specific area within the topic. You might explore your own academic specialism. Think about issues based in specific industries or learning strategies, and so on.
Devise your own title or research question to reflect your focus. You can refine the focus as you start to review the literature and develop your knowledge of the topic.
A critical literature review is not just a summary of a few published sources on the topic that you happen to find. You need to be systematic in your search for relevant, good quality, academic sources and to develop you own argument, using these sources to support that argument as it develops. You also need to subject the sources to critical analysis’. Further information on what this means and how to go about it can be found by reading the relevant pages 100-105 in Collis and Hussey (2009).
Structure
The review should contain the following:
¢ Title page, including in full the title that you have developed.
¢ Introduction
¢ Main body, which should also be organised under appropriate sub-headings or should have a clearly developed paragraph structure.
¢ Conclusion
¢ Word count
¢ Harvard-style reference list
Assessment Criteria for Assignment
Logical Sequence and Development (30%)
Does your review have:
-A clear introduction to what follows in the review?
-A main body with clearly-defined subsections (or clearly signposted paragraph structure)?
-A linked and logical progression between sub-sections/paragraphs?
-A structure which moves from wider, general survey of the subject, to more specific, detailed focus?
-A conclusion that summarises what you know, what you do not know, and what insights you have developed about the subject?
Evidence of Background Reading (25%)
Does your review:
-Identify key authors in the field?
-Refer to specialist books?
-Refer to up-to-date research articles in academic journals?
-Not rely on questionable Internet sources
-Have a minimum of 15 references?
Critical Evaluation of Issues/Results (35%)
Does your review:
-Compare and contrast different theories, concepts and research findings?
-Highlight strengths and weaknesses in these theoretical arguments and research?
-Agree with/accept or disagree with/reject the arguments put forward by others?
-Synthesise and develop your own arguments and insights from these different points of view?
-Show how the limitations of the current work leave a gap for you to research?

ONE human disorder or disease
/in /by CarlosONE human disorder or disease
Paper instructions:
Your paper should briefly review the signs and symptoms of the disorders, hereditary pattern, diagnosis, testing, treatments, and prognosis (likely outcome after diagnosis). Most diseases are associated with more than one gene. You should list at least a few of these genes and their chromosome location. For one gene, you should provide aIDitional information on the possible function of the gene if known (e.g. regulates the cell cycle, control muscle contraction, etc.). If the hereditary pattern is complex, you can focus on the hereditary pattern for the specific gene that you chose.
