Kindly note that this Project Report for the proposal plan that you made it for me in the previous order. I already attached the files also for you. Also we have to add table as appendix in the report for all the changes we made as per my Dr instructions in the Proposal plan and this report when you finish it and ( I will provide it later when he give me his comments which I didn’t receive it yet. and he told me to start working in the report for saving time. Action Research Project Report: You are required to submit a 10,000 word action research project report via Canvas at module end. You will undertake an action research project focused on understanding and supporting entrepreneurial action in practice. This is to be undertaken on an individual basis and could be an applied/engaged research project to address an immediate organisational issue, an enterprise consultancy project which addresses an opportunity or challenge faced by an entrepreneurial organisation or researching and developing a new business proposition or idea. This project needs to provide you with an opportunity to understand and manage how to move from opportunity to idea, to action. This could relate to your study or employability interests and/or current interests within the entrepreneurial management field. In undertaking the project, students are expected to: (i) source their own opportunity or idea, (ii) develop a case for why this opportunity to idea is worthy of consideration as a project, particularly in terms of its value to the appropriate community of practice, (iii) develop a project plan to ensure completion within the identified timescales, (iv) acquire the appropriate resources and internal and external support to develop and deliver the project, (v) manage the project in terms of moving from idea to action and (vi) reflect on the development of the project against key themes in the academic and grey (. policy and practice) literature related to being enterprising, the role of the individual in moving an idea from concept to action; and the influence of the entrepreneurial task environment. The deadline for submission of a draft of your completed project report for formative feedback via email to your supervisor is communicated on Canvas in the form of an Announcement. As per the Feedback Policy on this module your supervisor is only permitted to comment on up to 20% of your completed project report draft. When you email your supervisor with your draft you MUST highlight which areas you specifically want feedback on and why. You should also include your own assessment of your report against the marking criteria. A template is provided as part of the assessment tasks to help you with this. If you do not specify what 20% you want feedback on (and why), providing a copy of your self-assessment, your supervisor will not provide you with formative feedback. 1. ACTION RESEARCH PROJECT REPORT Entrepreneurial Opportunity • Clear justification of value of idea, opportunity or issue worthy of investigation and subsequent implementation / addressing to the appropriate community of practice / stakeholder group. • Project objectives and scope realistic in terms of time available and within the researcher’s sphere of influence. • Project plan developed to ensure completion within identified timescales. • Evidences management of the project from idea / opportunity to action noting that only secondary research is permitted. Research Methodology • Discuss and demonstrate a clear understanding of research methods from theoretical and practical perspective, justifying the research approach adopted. • Only secondary research is permitted. Plans for undertaking any primary research following successful completion of the module should be outlined in the Conclusions & Recommendations section of the project report. • Successful completion of the online ethics training module ‘Introduction to Research and Professional Ethics’ examined via an online quiz. • Ethical approval for the project sought and research undertaken complies with the University’s Research Ethics Policy. Click here for the LAIBS Research Ethics website. Community of Practice • Demonstrates engagement with key stakeholders to identify ideas, opportunities or issues where the value to the organisation and key stakeholders can be evidenced. • Demonstrates acquisition of support and resources to undertake relevant research on an agreed project and to ensure successful implementation of idea /opportunity or addressing of the issue, noting that only secondary research is permitted whilst studying the module. Use of Literature / Sources • Explicit application of the ‘Entrepreneurial Action’ module material and core readings to underpin the research and aid analysis. • Literature review undertaken to identify relevant academic and grey literature to inform research and aid analysis. • Evidence of critical thinking in the application of the literature in practice. Analysis of the entrepreneurial opportunity / challenge • Clear and coherent analysis of the idea, opportunity or issue and of the work undertaken. Appropriate use of secondary research and associated metrics. Conclusions & Recommendations • Conclusions clearly summarise the outcomes of the project to include any implementation plans as appropriate. • Recommendations identified as appropriate. • If further research is required post completion of the module, such as primary research, the next steps to achieve this should be outlined. Similarly, if implementation is yet to occur the next steps to achieve this should be outlined. Project Proposal and Plan (PPP) This element of the assessment is not mandatory. However, engaging with it enables students to benefit from formative feedback from their Supervisor and earn up to 10 marks in the summative assessment. Marks will be awarded as follows at module end: • Having submitted the PP&P for formative feedback, it should be appended to the final project submission at module end – up to 5 marks will be awarded. Note that the PP&P does not need any modification following the Supervisor’s feedback. • Up to 5 marks will be awarded for inclusion of a table appended in the final project report detailing how the Supervisor’s feedback was addressed to inform your continuing studies, secondary research and write up of your project report. Justification of any feedback disregarded should be provided. Should the above requirements not be met in respect of the Project Proposal & Plan, marks will be forfeited and students could find that they are awarded nil marks for this part of the assessment in the final project submission submitted to Canvas. Academic Literacy Skills • Report structure, presentation and cogency, correct spelling & grammar, appropriate use of tables, diagrams and appendices. • Harvard Referencing system correctly applied.
