Research Paper Guidein This Course You Will Examine A Problem Or Issu

In this course, you will examine a problem or issue through the lens of Quantitative Analysis. This means that you must choose a project that is very specific, focused, and one on which you have a grasp of the inputs, process, and outputs. It would be beneficial if you could work with a specific issue in your workplace, as it moves the theory to practice, and you can improve your work life by applying the lessons from this course. You will work on the project throughout this course, help one another by discussing your ideas in the Discussion Board, and hone your skill sets through collegial debate. Your paper will be approximately 10-20 pages in length, formatted in current APA format, include tables and/or figures, and have the following headings: 

· Introduction: A brief section that describes the symptom that you noticed, and provides readers with an understanding of the process.

· Description of Problem: Developed through the Module 2 discussion forum.

· Methodology: Developed through the Module 5 discussion forum.

· Data collection: Developed through the Module 6 discussion forum.

· Data Analysis: Developed through the Module 7 discussion forum.

· Recommendations: Your interpretation of the analysis; provides readers with your ideas of your next logical steps.

This could be a formal presentation to your boss, or perhaps a team meeting to highlight the issue, or so forth. This paper should be much like the case studies at the end of the textbook chapters. The introduction is the part of the case that is printed in the textbook. The remainder of the paper contains the details of how you collected the data and did the analysis. It will then end with the findings and recommendation.

As a resource, a template containing preformatted headings is provided for download. Using this template will take some of the work out of doing a paper. You can add subheadings as necessary. In Chapter I, if you do not use any of the several subheadings there, just delete that section.

Paper For Above instruction

Examine a specific problem or issue in your workplace through the lens of quantitative analysis. Develop a focused project understanding the inputs, processes, and outputs related to the issue. The paper should be 10-20 pages long, formatted according to APA standards, and include relevant tables and figures. Your paper must include the following sections:

  • Introduction: Describe the observed symptom and explain the process involved.
  • Problem Description: Detail the problem, developed through the Module 2 discussion.
  • Methodology: Outline your approach, developed through the Module 5 discussion.
  • Data Collection: Describe how data was gathered, developed through the Module 6 discussion.
  • Data Analysis: Present your analysis, developed through the Module 7 discussion.
  • Recommendations: Interpret the analysis and suggest next steps or solutions.

This project can be presented as a formal report to a supervisor or as a briefing to a team, highlighting the issue and proposed solutions. The paper should resemble a case study, commencing with an introduction of the problem, followed by detailed data collection and analysis, culminating in findings and recommendations. A downloadable template with preformatted headings is provided to facilitate the writing process. Subheadings may be added as needed, and unnecessary sections should be deleted if relevant. The goal is to produce a comprehensive, data-driven report that can support decision-making and process improvement within your workplace.
