Instructions
This document has three sections:
 Section 1: The Proposal Template
 Section 2: The Ethical Review Form (Parts A, B and C)
 Section 3: Company Consent Form
All students are required to complete Sections 1 and 2, and together these form the Business
Research Project Proposal.
Only students who are conducting research directly with a company need to complete Section 3.
If your research involves the use of human participants, you will need to complete the Ethics Approval
Form. Failure to complete the Ethics Approval Form, when required to do so, will result in your work
being returned unmarked. No research with human participants can be undertaken without receiving
Ethics Approval and achieving a pass grade on the proposal.

discussion board in Canvas
 Discussed with a Business Research Project tutor any questions you have about Part
3 of the Ethics Approval Form (if required).
 Gained consent from the company if you are conducting research on a company.
