MANAGEMT 7133AOL - Research Project Part A

Online - Online Teaching 5 - 2025

The purpose of the final research project is to take the learning out of the classroom and into the workplace and/or wider world through a research project using supervisor-based learning and the knowledge acquired in the Research for Managers course. Students are able to work in teams (from two to three students) or one-on-one with supervisors. The research project will involve conducting research, carrying out analysis, preparing a report, and making a final presentation. The student/s would submit a proposal at the end of the Research for Managers for approval, and so that a supervisor can be assigned.

  • Learning Resources
    Required Resources
    As a course centred on students’ individual research projects, less emphasis is placed on a large amount of weekly coursework or assigned readings. Recommended and optional additional readings are provided in some weeks, while other weeks’ content is focussed entirely on student project-work. Refer to each module within MyUni, and the Course Readings tab, for any recommended and optional readings for each week.
    Online Learning
    The course is delivered over a 6 week period.

    Planning of your time will be critical to immerse in the readings, activities, and discussions which provide the breadth and depth of knowledge to support your learning and completion of your assessments.
  • Learning & Teaching Activities
    Learning & Teaching Modes
    The project that you will complete in this capstone course represents the culmination of your study in the MBA, and requires you to draw on your experience and apply the knowledge and skills you have developed throughout your journey through the Program.
    In Research for Managers, you had the opportunity to identify a personal research interest and develop that into a research proposal. Within this capstone course, you will have the opportunity to complete the work outlined in that proposal. Some of you will need to refine the scope of your initial proposal to fit course constraints, and some of you may wish to change your focus and develop a different project. This course will provide the structure and support for all of you to develop and conduct your own research project. You will also have the support of a supervisor to help guide you and your project to completion.
    The capstone course is quite different to the other courses that you have studied in this program so far. The capstone spans 14 weeks; with 6 weeks for Part A (MANAGEMT 7133AOL), a 2 week non-teaching period for self-directed research (Data Collection), and 6 weeks for Part B (MANAGEMT 7133BOL). Time is limited, so it is important to think carefully about what is feasible within the constraint of this timeframe, and refine the scope of your research interest and project accordingly: into something that is possible to achieve within this 14-week time frame.
    Workload

    The information below is provided as a guide to assist students in engaging appropriately with the course requirements.

    Students should allocate approximately 25 hours per week to accomplish the Learning Outcomes for this Intensive Course. In total the course is estimated to require 156 hours for completion.
    Learning Activities Summary
    The Part A of the Capstone involves developing your research proposal.
    Students participate in 1:1 and Group sessions with their Supervisor and learn by doing as they step through the Research Roadmap stages 1 & 2 which entails: Setting objectives, literature review and selecting suitable research methods to form the proposal to enable progressing along the Research Roadmap to the conclusion of the Part B of the course.
    Specific Course Requirements
    Another unique aspect of the Capstone Research Project, to expedite implementation, is the requirement for students to complete, subject to the approval of the Course Coordinator, and abide by, the "Umbrella Ethics" protocol specifically arranged through the 最新糖心Vlog Ethics Committee. This entails restricting the student project to low level risk in complying with templates provided for:

    · An overall Ethics Proposal checklist

    · A Participant Information form

    · A Participant Consent form

    All these documents are to be accompanied with the Student's data collection instrument (either a survey questionnaire or an Interview Protocol or a Focus Group Protocol). The whole process is subject to tight scrutiny and authorisation by the Course Coordinator in consultration with the Student's Supervisor.
  • Assessment

    The 最新糖心Vlog's policy on Assessment for Coursework Programs is based on the following four principles:

    1. Assessment must encourage and reinforce learning.
    2. Assessment must enable robust and fair judgements about student performance.
    3. Assessment practices must be fair and equitable to students and give them the opportunity to demonstrate what they have learned.
    4. Assessment must maintain academic standards.

    Assessment Summary

    Submission
    The Capstone PART A (for 6 weeks) uses a weekly Project Planner which functions as:
    1. a tool to help you to plan your time, keep track of your progress and meet milestones. The Project Planner will enable you to complete your project within this 14-week course and to meet course and program objectives.
    2. an ongoing channel of communication with your Supervisor (and the Course Coordinator). The Project Planner is a shared reference point to support these conversations.
    Due: End of Each Week (Weeks 1 - 6), Sunday 11:59pm (ACST/ACDT)
    Percentage of grade: 30%

    • Week 3, Sunday 11:59pm (ACST/ACDT): Literature Review Percentage of grade: 20%
    Students need to demonstrate they can build up suitable knowledge of the academic and industry literature relevant to their research project and critically evaluate that literature. This will help to refine their Research Proposal (Part A - Assessment 3) and enable producing a high-quality capstone research project because analysing, generating and communicating solutions to a complex business or organizational problem requires a critical understanding of the literature. Students will continue to engage with the literature through the research process, of which this assessment is a substantial preliminary step.

    • Week 5, Sunday 11:59pm (ACST/ACDT) Research Proposal
    Percentage of grade: 50%
    Students will submit a formal proposal for their research project. This should be an appropriate revision and refinement of the proposal that was presented for assessment in the Research for Managers course, updated to fit the constraints of the capstone course and the support provided in Part A. If their research interest has shifted since Research for Managers, they may present a new project proposal in the Research Capstone course, assuming ongoing consultation with your Supervisor. This Research Proposal articulates the final, formal version of their research plan, which must be assessed and approved by their Supervisor/Course Coordinator, before commencing data collection and analysis. In Part B of the Research Capstone course, Students will conduct the research they have proposed, in accordance with the approved plan.

    Weeks 7 & 8 (the gap between courses) are used for data collection in preparation for Part B of the capstone project.
    Course Grading

    Grades for your performance in this course will be awarded in accordance with the following scheme:

    NOG (No Grade Associated)
    Grade Description
    CN Continuing

    Further details of the grades/results can be obtained from Examinations.

    Grade Descriptors are available which provide a general guide to the standard of work that is expected at each grade level. More information at Assessment for Coursework Programs.

    Final results for this course will be made available through .

  • Student Feedback

    The 最新糖心Vlog places a high priority on approaches to learning and teaching that enhance the student experience. Feedback is sought from students in a variety of ways including on-going engagement with staff, the use of online discussion boards and the use of Student Experience of Learning and Teaching (SELT) surveys as well as GOS surveys and Program reviews.

    SELTs are an important source of information to inform individual teaching practice, decisions about teaching duties, and course and program curriculum design. They enable the 最新糖心Vlog to assess how effectively its learning environments and teaching practices facilitate student engagement and learning outcomes. Under the current SELT Policy (http://www.adelaide.edu.au/policies/101/) course SELTs are mandated and must be conducted at the conclusion of each term/semester/trimester for every course offering. Feedback on issues raised through course SELT surveys is made available to enrolled students through various resources (e.g. MyUni). In addition aggregated course SELT data is available.
