each research question what method will be used, what will be researched, in what way and under what assumptions.
6. Implement the research. This phase consists of collecting, organizing and interpreting data and putting it in a theoretical framework.
7. Make an analysis of the results. This is meant to relate to literature, course materials and discussions and during the course.
8. State a well-founded opinion. This must be based on your own research and interviews or on comparisons made between, for example, theory and your organization (real- life). Draw well-founded conclusions and subsequently state your findings under a separate heading. By stating your own views you can give evidence of an active and critical management attitude. In other words, not only are weak points registered, but possible improvements are also expressed. You can for example create your own management team or department, so that you know who the findings can be presented to.
9. Make recommendations. The recommendations must be based on well-founded conclusions and need to be reasonably feasible within the confines of the organization. A recommendation like: Send the management home may be very useful but lacks a sense of reality.
10. Write the report. In the final report you describe your hypothesis, the research findings, your analysis and your conclusions.
11. Bibliography. State your source materials in a consistent way, for example: name of author(s), initial(s), title, edition, publisher, year of publication: (page numbers if you included a quotation).
