The research proposal must include:
Description of the project – what is your research question/hypothesis?
Literature Review
Expected research contribution – what do you expect your research to contribute to existing knowledge. Is it innovative and/or original?
The proposed methodology – qualitative, quantitative or mixed methods.
Potential data sources.

Things that might help you to do this proposal:
The title: “IFRS Adoption and Investment Efficiency in Developing Countries: A Moderated Mediation Model of Earnings Quality & Corporate Governance Mechanism”
I will upload a research framework diagram so that you can understand more. This research is a bit complicated since it has a mediating variable and two moderation variables.
You can read some papers that I will upload that relates with my research.
Summary of my idea:
IFRS Adoption lowered information assymetry (solving agency problem in companies) and improved quality of financial disclosure –> Earnings Quality (Proxied with Earnings Management)
Analyst Coverage as External Corporate Governance Mechanism monitors the performance of companies, so management will be more careful in doing earnings management practices. Therefore, more analyst follows a company, the stronger the effect of IFRS on earnings quality.
High earnings quality is able to constrain managerial actions and to give rise to the adverse selection problem which in turn, decreases the underinvestment and overinvestment problems (investment efficiency)
Board of Director (BOD) as Internal Corporate Governance Mechanism monitors the daily operation and decision making process within a company. Better BOD characteristic is small numbers, independent and gender diversed. A well functioning BOD will monitor management works within a company more objectively, so they will makes more efficient investment decision. Therefore, the presence of better BOD will strengthen the effect of earnings quality on investment efficiency.
Previous studies only considers the direct effect of IFRS Adoption on Investment Efficiency. in my opinion, there is a missing link (mediation variable) that can prove that the effect can be indirect through Earnings Quality
My Research Questions/Hypothesis:
H1: The level of IFRS Adoption positively affects Investment Efficiency
H2: The level of IFRS Adoption positively affects Investment Efficiency through improved Earnings Quality
H3: The level of IFRS Adoption positively affects Earnings Quality
H4: The level of IFRS Adoption positively affects Earnings Quality in presence of Analyst Coverage
H5: Earnings Quality positively affects Investment Efficiency
H6: Earnings Quality positively affects Investment Efficiency in presence of small, independent and diversed Board of Directors
Yes it is original. Reasons:
Research related to ifrs adoption and corporate governance effect on earnings quality and information efficiency rarely done in Developing Countries
No research use earnings quality as mediating variable before. Usually the research framework will be IFRS effect on Earnings Quality, Earnings Quality effect on Investment Efficiency, and IFRS effect on Investment Efficiency (All exclusively between 2 variables, no one has ever combined all 3 variables)

Identify and define the Theoretical Perspective (Conflict Theory, Functionalist Perspective, or Symbolic Interactionism) you will use. What are the main ideas of the Perspective? You may use more than 1 Perspective if you wish.

This assignment is intended to help you apply one of the 3 major sociological perspectives, Symbolic Interaction , Conflict (which would include Feminism) and Functionalism , to a movie of your choice. Think about how the movie’s characters, story line, setting etc., might be used to explain the main ideas of one of the perspectives. Disney movies are usually easy to see the theories but you do not have to select a Disney movie. Think about the Lion King and conflict – who are the have’s and the have nots, what are the scarce resources that the conflict is over? What about the Symbolism in the movie? Once you pick your movie and theory the examples will come. DO NOT USE THE LION KING.
I DO NOT WANT A MOVIE SUMMARY.
The Paper should be 2 pages in length (12 font) and include the following:
SECTION I
1. State the movie you will use.
2. Identify and define the Theoretical Perspective (Conflict Theory, Functionalist Perspective, or Symbolic Interactionism) you will use. What are the main ideas of the Perspective? You may use more than 1 Perspective if you wish.
SECTION II
1. Give examples (explain/apply) that illustrate how the theoretical perspective can be seen. What happens in the movie that can be understood using the Perspectives you selected. Explain at least 3 different scenes.
2. In the explanation you will use at least 5 Sociological Terms from the book. Please highlight or put the terms in bold. The theories do not count. Be sure to use them correctly.
SECTION III
1. Briefly state your thoughts on the assignments. Explain why you liked or did not like the assignment – be specific. You could also add any suggestions on how to improve this assignment.

Theory Definitions:
Conflict theory provides a third perspective on social life. Unlike the functionalists, who view society as a harmonious whole, with its parts working together, conflict theorists stress that society is composed of groups that compete with one another for scarce resources. The surface might show cooperation, but scratch that surface and you will find a struggle for power. Many sociologists extend conflict theory beyond the relationship of capitalists and workers. They examine how opposing interests run through every layer of society—whether in a small group, an organization, a community, or an entire society.
The functionalist perspective is based largely on the works of Herbert Spencer, Emile Durkheim, Talcott Parsons, and Robert Merton. It is a framework for building theory that sees society as a complex system whose parts work together to promote solidarity and stability. According to functionalism, society is a system of interconnected parts that work together in harmony to maintain a state of balance and social equilibrium for the whole.
Symbolic interactionism is a theoretical perspective in which society is viewed as composed of symbols that people use to establish meaning, develop their views of the world, and communicate with one another. The central idea of symbolic interactionism is that symbols—things to which we attach meaning—are the key to understanding how we view the world and communicate with one another. Charles Horton Cooley (1864–1929) and George Herbert Mead (1863–1931) developed this perspective in sociology.

What is a literature review?
A
literature review is used to, as the name suggests, “review” the literature, or
research, about a specific topic area. A literature review will inform you
about the research that has already been conducted about your chosen subject.
Throughout
the process of a literature review, you will want to look for common themes and
patterns in the research as a whole, as well as any gaps in the research
surrounding your topic.
Important Points to Remember
The
purpose of this research project is for you to create a scholarly piece of
graduate-level research and writing, which conforms to current APA format.
Competency in the current APA format is required of all Business graduates, as set forth by policy of both the Graduate Faculty and the
administration.
The
paper is to be written in strict adherence to current APA standards and must contain
18–20 pages of content excluding the title page, abstract, and references

course text and the Bible, but it is anticipated that you will integrate more
than this minimum.
The
paper is to be submitted through Turnitin. Do not wait until the last minute to
work on this paper. It will require considerable time to conduct your research
and write the paper.
Three
levels of current APA headings must be used throughout the paper, as this is a
graduate-level research paper.
It is recommended that you minimize the use of
quotes within this paper.
Keep in mind that, when you do directly quote a source, it must have quotation
marks around the quote unless it is 40 words or more which then must be set in
block quotation format. You must also give detailed information of where you
