2023/24 ASSIGNMENT REMIT – DOCUMENT UPLOAD

ASSIGNMENT TASK:

You are required to submit a 6000-word report on a sport management-related research project of your choice.

The research report must describe an independent academic research you have conducted at the time of undertaking the module. The research can be primary or secondary, qualitative or quantitative.

As part of the dissertation process, you are required to submit a Research Proposal Form and an Ethical Checklist form. Once your Research Proposal Form is submitted, you will be allocated a research supervisor who will support your work.

TASK GUIDANCE:

Research Topic

· You must complete the Research Proposal Form in full, and use it to guide your topic selection.

· Your chosen research topic should be restricted in scope to allow you to treat the topic in-depth.

· When choosing a topic you must consider the availability of your sources and/or materials – be they primary or secondary.

· You do not have to necessarily choose an original topic for research, as long as you can contribute to existing knowledge with a new focus or method.

Research Methods and Rationale:

· Your report must describe your Research Methods and Rationale fully.

· Beyond describing your rationale, you must explain why you have selected your chosen research methods.

Data Collection / Literature Review:

· Your data collection and literature review must be conducted systematically, ensuring that a robust, pre-determined process is followed.

· The literature review should show the various issues, definitions, and theories pertaining to your work, and may highlight any gaps that have appeared in previous studies. The literature review may be used to support and illustrate your own ideas.
