The Work Based Research Proposal This is applied research or problem solving research that looks at any issue for a particular organisation and this would normally be the organisation where you currently work. The idea here is that you take an issue for the organisation/company and, using a rigorous research process, come up with conclusions and recommendations that will be useful to the company. For this type of research you would use a case study approach which may involve using questionnaires/interviews/observations etc but these would all be focused within the chosen organisation/company. The advantage of this approach is that you can work within your own company and this may make good use of your time and knowledge. However, there are some disadvantages. Data may not always be forthcoming in spite of earlier promises and you are reliant on the good will of your senior managers for the success of your project. For this reason we require certain safeguards and assurances from your employer before you start your research and if we are not satisfied that appropriate support will be forthcoming then we will insist you carry out a standard Research Project as above. Content of the research proposal (1,500 words) The proposals for the two different types of Research Project require more or less the same information and are the same length.
