This document outlines a research project for a BTEC Higher Diploma/Higher National Diploma in Business Management. The project is divided into several tasks, starting with formulating a research specification (including a research question, methodology, and action plan) and a secondary literature review. It then involves primary data collection (using methods like surveys or interviews), analysis and interpretation of findings (both quantitative and qualitative), drawing conclusions and recommendations, and finally, presenting the research in a formal report and evaluation presentation. Specific deadlines are provided for each task, along with merit and distinction guidelines. The project emphasizes effective research methods, planning, and self-evaluation.
